my special boy- sensitive pictures

[pixiebaby87]

i hope i have the rigth place here to post this. i wanted to tell you about my son. when nathan was born the cord was around his neck. he was resussitated and luckily was okay. for months we visited the doctors each time they told us he was fine just a cold..

until one night he stopped breathing he was 6 months old. i was convinced he was okay. good job my o/h was so insistant. we rushed him up to the a and e where they gave him oxygen everything happened so fast,

we watched him through a window as a mass of doctors flocked in and started trying to get him breathing again and injected his heart with adrenelaine ofcourse at this point i was hysterical we were taken to a small room. it felt like hourse. by then family had all came down... the nurse came in and i thought she was going to say theyd lost him .

theyd taken him to intensive care but he needed to be transferred to alder-hey. we spent days there they told us he had the worst case of croupe in 30 years without a child actually dying on day 5 we met the doctors at his bed side. they told us he had a 20% chance of survival and if he did hed be brain damaged. all of the family came up to say their good byes we even picked a funeral song still makes me cry it was take that rule the world .

all our family smothered him in kisses but we were all just crying constantly . i guess that made it so final , we went to icu one night where i took my camera as strange as it sounds i wanted to make sure that the last time i saw him id get a picture whilst he was still alive it would be my last picture of him. as i took the pictures they pulled his tube out and he let out a silent cry! he was breathing on his own!! i couldnt believe it! we were so happy!!

he was diagnosed a month after coming home with having tracheo malacia he was born with a floppy windpipe. hes 3 now and although hes a little behind with his speech there are no major signs of any brain damage. he does still have problems...but all i can say is i feel like the luckiest mum in the world and each day smother my little man in kisses!

i hope its okay i share some pictures and a video of his journey im so proud of my beautiful brave boy. thankyou for reading my loooong post

love and hugs nic x

What a brave boy! He is a wee cutie!

You have all been thru a lot

(my niece has a floppy larynx, not sure if thats something like what your son has x)

What an absolutely gorgeous little boy he is!! Hard to believe its the same little boy in those pictures!
A brave little boy and a very brave mummy for sharing, nothing worse than seeing your child so very poorly, so glad he came through it xxxx

thanksso much ladies im so proud of my little man. he has been monitored for the past 2 1/2 years for brain damage so far so good. hes behind on his speech but with all the hospital visits you have to expect some problems?

he was due an op on his legs this year also another problem to deal with .. they took xrays last year which showed his shin bones were growing more quickly than the rest causing them to bow outwards... we went in july to the paedotracian and he doesnt need any ops now they seem to have straightened! he got to start school which i feel is a massive help for his social and development skills.

the picture of him sitting if you click is a video , hes laughing but you can hear his throat .. he regularly suffers with croupe but other than that a very lucky boy.

(hi sam it could be the same things im sure! xx)
