Back to the Start.
Kyle's birth was anything but smooth sailing. I was induced 3 weeks early because it appeared that he had stopped growing .. I had been in and out of hospital for about 4 weeks while they were measuring me and doing tests until they finally decided to keep me in and monitor me. Then out of the blue Kyle seemed to be distressed and i was rushed into the delivery suite.
Just like any other labour it was scary but this time it was petrifying.. Doctors/Specialists were in and out of the room, taking bloods monitoring Kyles heart beat.. i had wires strapped everywhere. After a long labour Kyle was born *12.01am 1st October 2001* He was checked over and put in an incubator and transferred to Intensive care to be checked over.
Through out my whole pregnancy i had been monitored closely as i had a previous baby *Brooke* born with Pulmonary Stenosis. After spending 7 amazing days with her, the ups and down .. open heart surgery and the agonising truth about her health, she passed away due to complications with her condition.
Specialist had assured me that Kyle's heart was perfect.. Just routine checkups due to the previous health complications with Brooke.
The next 24 hours seemed to blur into one huge nightmare, i was sat down and told that they had picked up that Kyle wasn't responding to his hearing tests, as bad as it may seem i seemed to take this news really well.. In the back of my mind i was praying that his heart was OK and we could overcome anything else. Then came the big blow.. Kyle did have problems with his heart.. they were sure of the extent yet they would have to monitor him more.. all the memories of Brooke came flooding back.
I took everyday as it came in the hospital with Kyle, one thing after another seemed to go wrong, Kyle wouldn't feed, he got bad jaundice and all the specialists were concerned as he had a very low birth weight already. My beautiful baby boy kept fighting I was so proud, I knew in the back of my mind that we just had to get passed the first 7 days and then we had made it!
The next few months came and passed packed full of doctors/specials appointments and the truth of kyles health problems. He had to be tested for Williams Syndrome they were 100% sure that he did have this but needed it all on paper for records. January 22nd 2001 it was confirmed that Kyle did have Williams Syndrome.
After numerous tests on Kyles ears/brain, he was diagnosed with Severe Sensory-Neural hearing loss and was issued with Hearing Aids by 4 weeks old.
I knew the beginning of our magical journey had just began.
