Biography

Before ian was born his ob/gyn tried to kill me and ian. She gave me 150mg of zoloft to start with. I took them and i was lethargic for days along with ian. He was born while on this medication. He was given an overdose of this medication while in the womb. He was born at about 32-34 weeks gestation. During birth he was stuck, He was not crying for 10-15 min. He had severe respatory problems. When born they didn't let me see him for the day. He was diagnosed at the hospital with low o2 lvls when sitting upright, hip dysplasia, jaundice, heart mummer. The heart mummer turned into pulmonary hypertenstion, holes in the heart and by the valves. He was also diagnosed with marcoglossia which is an enlarged tounge. They keep checking him for cancers, gentic disorder, hyperthyroidsm due to the enlarged tounge, it makes it hard for him to talk, swallow, eat food. He also is deaf in his left ear, and has weakness nerve damage in his left side, which now he requires occupational therapy to help him move. He has speech/hearing specialists comming in to help him with speech and learing new ways to learn due to hearing loss and enlarged tounge. He does not babble like normal children. He has pulmonary hypertenstion, RAD/asthma, He cannot over work himself or he could go into cardiac arrest, He cannot sit up as he cannot breathe. He went into the hospital recently due to bleeding from the mouth. They cannot still figure out what is wrong with him, They had done test after test, had oral suregons, ortopedic surgeons and doctors come in to check him, and no one could tell me what happened. He's constanly sick and i cannot take him outdoors. He has severe allergies to the outside and he wheezes everytime. It is a deffinte challenge for our family due to him not being able to function at a normal baby lvl. He is developmentaly delayed by 3 months, and their now questioning autsim in him, as i have it, 2 of his sisters have it. he cannot function at a normal 7-8 month old level.
