MY SON JARIEL WAS BORN TO US ON 3/14/07 @ 11:30 P.M. I WAS 26 WKS PREGNANT WHEN I HAD HIM. AS SOON AS HE WAS BORN HE WAS INTUBATED, AND TRANSFERRED TO ST. JOSEPHS MEDICAL CENTER IN PATERSON NJ. JARIEL WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR 8 MTS. HE WAS ALWAYS ON CPAP UNTIL HE STARTED GETTING TIRED AND HAVING BRONCHIAL SPASMS AND HAD TO BE INTUBATED HE WAS INTUBATED FOR 3MTS. THE DR'S FINALLY HAD TO MAKE THE DECISION FOR HIM TO BE TRACHED. HE FINALLY HAD HIS SURGERY ON 7/21/07. HE HAD HIS TRACH AND G-TUBE PUT IN. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SO HARD TO SEE MY BABY WITH ALL THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY A RELIEF TO SEE HIS CUTE LITTLE FACE WITHOUT ANY TAPE OR TUBES GOING DOWN HIS NOSE AND THROAT. IN AUGUST HE WAS TRANSFERRED TO A REHAB CTR AND WAS A PT FOR 12 WKS. HE WAS DISCHARGED ON 11/13/07. AND HES BEEN HOME SINCE .

HI
Hello, I am a mommy of a former 25 weeker. I was touched by what you have gone through. I am Puerto Rican and my husband is Jamaican. Our little angel was trached due to subglottic stenosis. She was born on May 23, 2007. Was trached in Aug/2007 and came home Oct 23rd 2007. You have a gorgeous little boy. God bless him and your family.
