There are some days in life that are forever etched in your memory. Maybe, its just because Im mommy. But to my surprise daddy brought it up that he remembered this too. A year ago today, right around this time, I was rushing to the local hospital to meet my husband and my not doing well little girl. We had found Haven that morning, completely dehydrated in her bed, stripped pretty much of all fluids, due to a bad reaction to a test she had the day before. Ill never forget my husbands panicked scream as he flew out the door with her when he found her. Ill never forget that he made the wisest, life saving decision that there was not time to get her to Rochester, he needed to get her to dans vile to get fluids ASAP. In the end, according to Doctors, that decision was life saving. Ill never forget being stopped outside of the hospital room before going in, to be told she was not doing good and to prepare myself. Ill never forget the afficiency of the doctors and nurses at noyes all frantically, very thoroughly, working to try and save her and get her stable. And I certainly will never forget a nurse saying to me once she was stable I really didnt think we could get her back, it was not good. We had checked her in the middle of the night and she was fine, 4 hours later she was near death. Below is a couple pictures I saved of the moments after she was stabilized, and one of her just a couple days before getting out of hospital. I saved the pictures because I believe its very important to remember the miracles. Its a reminder how unpredictable life is, in a moment the most precious thing in your world can be stripped. Its a reminder of how many times this little girl has fought and the big plans that are in store for her. And its a reminder that theses diseases come with secondary threats, and are extremely unpredictable. On this day we dont remember it as a terrible, horrifying day that it was. We remember it as a day to be grateful for every smile she gives us today. To be grateful to Noyes for saving her, and to be reminded of exactly what we are fighting for. Cures. Cures so that things like this are at the smallest percent possible, rather than a large possibility of sweeping these little ones lives. I guess there are miracles everyday, in every breath if we just look around. I havent been very good at spotting them lately, but perhaps this Is a reminder.
