When I was 13 and starting the dating thing, I became anorexic to stay thin, When I was 16 I became pregnant and still anorexic I only started to eat when I was about 4 months pregnant. My son had obvious complication at birth, his heart stopped, his lung collapsed, he was having ceizures. The doctors did not believe he was going to make it through the first few hours, It had already taken them more than 11 minutes to restart his heart and his breathing. After a few hours, they told us to prepare ourselves for the worst and to talk to our priest, 24 hours passed he had not had another ceizure, 48 hours passed he was begining to suck on a suther, as the days and weeks passed the doctors were so amazed that they did not know what to think. We had a meeting with the entire medical team which they announced he was 'lucky' to have made it this far, however we could expect him to not hear, not talk, not walk, not even be able to eat by himself, he would need a feeding tube for the rest of his life, not 4 days later he was eating out of a bottle, screaming his little lungs off when he was wet or hungry, he was moving his head and looking around when people were talking. The physio was surprised when she went to pick him up one day and was able to bend his knees, cause he hadn't done that yet, his muscle tone was so tight he would stay so straight you could not bend anything. This boy is now 11 years old, he plays soccer, volleyball, ball hockey, he goes to school in regular classes, he eats anything and everything by himself. The only thing I have noticed is that he has trouble remembering things sometimes, nothing too serious, but does forget occasionally, but does remember the first hockey game he went to when he was about 2 years old. So miracles may be farfetched, but this boy has beaten all odds, that even the doctor himself can not believe his eyes when he sees him, when I go to appointments with my other son, who was born 'healthy & normal', now they say he may be autistic, adhd, but he was supposidly a healthy normal boy. If miracles do happen I hope it happens again for my other son, If not whatever helped my oldest to get through it I hope and pray it will help my second, since he is the one on so many meds.
One thing I do know is my grandfather just passed away, and I am glad no more miracles happened to him, He was so sick for so many years, and seeing him the day he passed away was hard, he was a skeleton with skin, in pain, sad, angry, but still joking. He did however get to say good bye to all three of his sons, and some of his grandchildren, the great grand children had not seen him since he had turned for the worse. The only thing I hope is when I go it is fast and not preknown, As long as I keep living as it is my last day and say love you to everyone I know when I speak to them I will die a happy person, happier if I was thin, but hopefully my weight won't be my cause of death. The only 'miracles' I need are healthier, happier boys, and losing weight.
