My life has been a rollercoaster. Which has more downs than up. I got married and pregnant at the age of 18.
After carrying my baby for 9 months in my womb, waiting each day to carry him in my arm, i gave birth to a handsome boy weighing 5 pounds on 27th january via c-section.
Me and my husband were on 7th sky and then the next day we came to know that the baby hasn't passed his first stool yet and needs to admitted to the NICU for two days. The hospital in which i was admitted didnt have a NICU so my baby was shifted to an NICU nearby. I cried and waved him good-bye.
And the next day i was told that my baby has Imperforate Anus.
I was totally clueless about this, i couldnt even imagine in my worst nightmare that this thing exists.
My boy's life was in danger, he could have been died because 30 hours has passed and he hadn't excreted yet.
But on 29th of january a colostomy was performed (The colon was brought out through a cut in the abdominal wall) and he was saved.
After 3 days i was asked to pump and send the milk to the NICU.
My husband didnt showed me the baby's pictures and didnt take me to the NICU because he was afraid i might faint seeing my baby in that condition.
But luckily the doctor called me on the day before discharge to teach my how to care for the colostomy.
I saw my baby after 10 days, he didnt looked the same. He had I.V in his right hand, was placed in a warmer and had a red fleshy thing on the left side of his stomach.
I was devastated to see all this. All i did was cry. I wanted to run away from all this and never come back.
I had to wash hands and sanitize them every time before touching him.
We came back home with him. And had a very tough time handling him. He used to poop every half an hour. We had to clean it with wet cotton, apply a cream around the stoma, place a stoma shaped gauze on it and then put a clean and light cloth on it. He wasnt given a colostomy bag.
He couldn't latch on my breast because he was bottle fed for 6 days and made a habit of it. So being a super mom i decided not to give up and to exclusively pump.
Days passed, my Baby is now 7 weeks, and i get used to the colostomy thing.
Still somewhere i feel alone and restless, so i started this blog so i can speak whatever i feel like and help and support some more restless moms like me.
I hope you guys will stand with me in my most tragic time and bless me with love.
With Love,
Mrs Maan.
