2236 10st nw
My son was dx with alobar holoprosencephaly while I was 18months pregnant through ultrasound. The doctors told me the best thing would be to terminate. I kept my faith in God and knew he would be there for me and whatever me and Boston(that is his name) would have to go through. They told me his condition was so severe he probably wouldn't take his first breath or even make it to full term. I had him at 36wks by c-section because he had hydrocephulas. He weighed 8lbs, but 3 was probably from fluid on his head. I was so scared to hold him and was very confused because the doctors said he would not make it this far and he came out crying before he was completely out the womb. I had prepared myself for the worst knowing God would get me through it. When it was time for me to leave the hospital they told me he could go too. He did not need a feeding tube, he was breathing on his on and kept his body temperature up. The doctors totally gave up on my son, but I knew if he came this far he had a will to live.I suggested a shunt to drain the fluid and they act like they didn't want to do it because it wouldn't make a difference in his outcome. I couldn't do anything but pray and ask God to take over and guide me so I could do the best for my miracle baby. They decided to do the shunt and after a week of his birth he came home. No medication or anything. They didn't circumcise my baby or give him shots because they thought he wouldn't be here long. Now I know God has the final say in all things. Now he's three months old, updated on all his shots, circumcised, sees a neurologist and acts like a normal baby would at his age. Not on any medication. I thank God for my son, Boston Myers. I just want to let people know, don't give up, because God is able!
