where it all began

Let me tell you why I'm fed-up and pissed off. My daughter was born 15 weeks premature the doctors told me she had a very slim chance of survival I said that's unacceptable she weighted 1 lb 12 oz when she was 14 days old she had heart surgery that was one of the worse days of my life before the surgery I went to the hospital chapel and I prayed I asked G-d to give her the strength to get through the surgery and i quote "G-d I don't care what's wrong with her as long as she's alive we can deal with anything else" and she made through the surgery with no problems!!! Emily is a million dollar baby miracle. After 4 long months in the NICU she came home I knew it was going to be hard raising a baby with health problems & special needs but I knew we would get through it. She has major respiratory problems, lots of allergies, developmental & neuro problems but she's alive and with us today and I am truly blessed. When she was 2 she was diagnosed with autism we started therapy & she was on the GF/CF diet. Emily had made great progress she had finally started talking & communicating it was amazing and I couldn't have been happier. Until March 21, 2010 the day our lives changed we had a 40 degree temperature drop in less than 24 hrs and for someone with asthma its can be a major trigger. Emily had a severe asthma attack and when into respiratory distress and traumatized her into regression. I knew right away something wasn't right but little did i know she had lost so much hard work & progress in the blink of an eye. Needless to say I was devastated but I stayed strong and was ready to fight but little did I know the next year of my life would be so hard.
