I was gone for half a week. I was admitted at Fairview General Hospital. From May 14th to May 18th, because I had my little man! :")
Here he is, Theodore Klaud Lopez Jacobe. Born May 14th, 2010 :)
He was lacking 2 weeks to term. So, I haven't seen or held him yet. :( He's still at the Neonatal ICU, and we're all hoping to see him very soon. I want to see him so bad, I cry almost every night since he was born. But now I have to focus on recovering, getting better, and praying harder. Since, these are the only things I can do, due to having delivered him c-section. I am having troubles regaining balance, and tolerating the piercing pain that the stitches bring. But I will soon be better, for my baby boy.
He is there due to lung prematurity. He cant breathe on his own yet :( But he's making progress. And with all the prayers, positivity and medicines he's taking, I hope he gets better reeeeeal soon. I havent seen him yet, but I miss him. :'( I want to hold him. I want to feel that first-time-mom feeling. :'{ (Okay, I am now bursting to tears again........... T_T)
Anyway, he looks a lot like his dad. :) He got his father's nose and lips. And he's soooo handsome. Well, that's what I see from the photos that my mom had taken before he was brought to the ICU. He kept on crying, until Mico was with him. :') This scene made me smile, when he told it to me. He was pumping air into the tubes on the baby's respirator. He was talking to him, and he said, "Pagaling ka na agad, ha? Gustong gusto ka na makita ng mommy mo, eh." After he said that line, the baby grabbed his finger. The baby had his eyes shut, so he must've grabbed it by instinct. And when Mico was asking for replacement on pumping the air, the baby again grabbed his finger, and maybe didnt want to let him go. Well.... At least he recognized his father's voice. :')
I just found out that he has Respiratory Distress Syndrome. :'( I am now googling on how he will be okay, what we can do to make him better..
Okay. I didnt like anything I have read. :| All I would want to do now is pray. For his betterment, for his health, and for mine. God, please help me. :'( I am ready to do anything to make him better. ANYTHING :_( ~
