Okinawa NICU

In the okinawa Nicu he recieved many tests however they did not have the equipment needed to support him while in an MRI so we had to be medevaced to San diego Ca. We really trusted and missed the Okinawa NICU staff. i wish we could have brought them with us. Gabriel was in the okinawa NICU from april 1st until april 19th. He self extibated once and he was breathing fine without the machines, but becasue he did not have a gag reflex we had to keep him on it to protect his airway.

Gabriel Is born

My pregnancy was perfect. But the delivery was the scariest thing I have ever been through in my life. Gabriel did not breath for 18 minutes and therefore suffered severe brain damage. His diagnosis was hypoxia ischemic cepalephany. (I probably miss spelled that). The Doctors did not expect him to make it out of the delivery room let alone 2 months. We were privileged to be with our perfect little angel for over two months. I was so grateful to have the time I did with him. he has completely changed my life and I know he is always watching over us. I know I will be with him again.
