Well my son was born last night. LaKota Madrox is finally here, but he came too early! God is testing me, and I need to stay strong for my son so please keep us in your prayers.LaKota was born at 27 weeks. I started haveing contractions March 10th, and dialated to 3cm before the doctors stopped the contractions. LaKota's heart rate was very low, so low the doctors almost thought they couldn't find it. My amniotic fluid was runing low too, and my health was hindering too.I didn't care too much about my health my main concern was my son & his health.My neighbor friend Di has helped me out alot, she picked me up from my family doctor's office and drove me to the hospital.(thank goodness too the helicopter was on a 2-3 hour delay because of a snow storm and the ambulances were all dispatched with an hour wait.---Di got to me within 15minutes of calling her, and she had already aranged a police esscort out of town. She got me to the hospital safely in 20min. and it is an hour and 15 min trip doing the speed limit.--at least I know Di can get me to the hospital ALOT faster than the ambulance can.) I am thankfull for my friend Di she kept my family and my special friend Sherry from here posted on my health and LaKota's. Di came to visit me after work and brought the laptop so I could try to update everyone, but Im now getting time to do so.Shortly after Di left I went back into labor at 8pm the doctor tried to stop it again but at 9:15pm my son insisted he had to come out & contractions started all over again. The Nurse said she called Di to come back, but she didnt get back in time,because at 10:53pm on March 11th my son LaKota Madrox was born. LaKota's heart stopped 3 times, and is still very slow. LaKota is 17.5 inches long 3lbs 11oz. I am being told he is a miricale, but a bigger miricale will be if he can pull thru.The doctors said the next 72 hours are very critical for him, and if he can make it his survival chances will be closer to 45% chance of survival. Di showed up as they were rushing LK to the NICU.She is going to stay by my side and help me contact friends and family.Please keep my son in your prayers. We (but mostly HE) needs all your prayers.My angel needs all the prayers he can get, his life has been left in Gods hands now, the doctors said there isnt much more they can do for him. Please keep my son in your prayers,please. I haven't even been able to hold LK yet, he is in an incubater hooked to many monitors, and tubes. I start to cry every time I havve to look at my son. I feel like its my fault some how. The Doctors and nurses keep reassuring me that it isn't my fault but, as a mother a part of me still feels some how it is my fault.
I will keep everyone informed and updated as often as I can. I am being told that this will be a long process...mostly alot of waiting and praying.I am trying to be optimistic,it is just very hard, seeing my son in the incubater.Please pray for my family.
Thank you for reading this, thanks in advance for prayers for LK, he really really needs them.
