Callie

Hey i am almost done with my kids storues and who they are. I am not sure what I am going to write after this but I guess that is at least another week away.

Callie came into this world and caused us a lot of heart ache and fear. It was the first real thing our marriage and family had to deal with. The doctor was a little worried about inducing Paula but they couldn't find a strong heart beat and so he had her admitted to the hospital. Well while we were there the nurses started getting all the equipment placed in the room, but while they were doing that one of the nurses fainted, this should have been a omen of things to come. Well after a few hours they finally started to come. Paula delivered her without to many issues but she had swallowed some maconium and stopped breathing on her own. That was one of the hardest thing is to watch the nurses wheel your baby out of the room. I followed the nurses to see what was going on with her and saw them begin CPR on her, air bag and all. They were able to keep her heart beating long enough to keep her alive. They had called for air med NICU team to come but they were already out on a call so they ended up sending Gold Cross NICU team out which is the same teams just by ground and they brought out the ventilator, hooked her up to everything. After they got her in the incubator and hooked up to everything she was some what stable. They then brought her in to see Paula before they took her to Primary Children's. They let her hold her hand and then I followed the ambulance to Primary's. They took me up with Callie and refered to her as baby Humphrey, after a few hours of that I finally got mad and told everyone that her name was Callie not baby humphrey. The doctors would never get our hopes to high they would just tell us that she is doing good or she isn't doing as well. But after about week on the ventilator they started to give us a good reports that she would be removed from the ventilator and should be fine. Day 11 came and she was removed from the ventilator, it would take another month for her to be removed from the oxygen. She is our little miracle and our little pain in the butt, She is stubborn and dramatic all at the same time, but she is great overall. Her lungs have recovered and boy does she use them.
