Ventricular Shunt!!!!!
Before if you asked me if i knew what a Ventricular Shunt is i would have looked at you funny and said NO!!!
At 2 weeks old my little girl was crying allot....i thought to my self she must be a colic baby coz she don't want to stop crying. But believe me there is such a thing as mommy instincts.
I just knew there was something else wrong. Took her to 3 doctors until we had our answers.
Alissa has a level 4 Bleeding in the brain...i will never forget the fear of loosing my little girl. I was sitting on the hospital bed holding her while she had a fit and the doctor came in and said he had some bad news for us. My hole wold just stood still. I was in shock...then fear took over...i cant loose Alissa not like this not now.
Fast forward to a couple of hours later...Alissa was booked into NICU and was hooked up on all these monitors. She was going to need brain surgery to correct the bleeding in her brain.
Alissa was ill and i could see it in the way she looked at me...i have never felt so helpless in my life...i could do nothing to help my little girl to rid her of the pain that she is feeling. She was on such strong medication that she was sleeping day in and day out. After 3 weeks in the NICU the Brain surgeon decided it was time for her operation....the operation went so fast and she was in no time back in the NICU...the operation was a success. I don't want to go into all the finer details of the NICU stay. Its still to raw for me. I must say...she was in the best of care there and i would be forever grateful to the NICU staff and Dr Tatomir for the care and love that they gave her. And to God for keeping his hand of protection over her and giving us the strength to be there for her.
Alissa was another week in the NICU before they released her and she is n happy growing healthy baby at home.
And we adore her and her brother to the fullest. I cant explain the love i have for these two. They are my everything and more.

Birth Story!!!
So after n hectic four months i am back at work and can write my birth story at last.
SO MUCH HAS CHANGED...
My Birth story....
I had my C section booked for the 11 of March but at my 34 week appointment our gyne told me to get my bags ready because this pregnancy is done...my blood pressure was high and i was in pre term labour...and so off we went to the hospital and organizing the bed earlier as we planed too.
That night i did not sleep a wink...i was so excited and scared... and are finaly going to meet my babies after all the years of struggling i am going to be a mommy
I booked in at the hospital at 6am and my theater time was at 8am but the doctor changed his mind because he was scared that the babies was in distress and rushed me in just before 7am. I had my spinal block and must admit it was a breeze...it was not sore at all...at 7am Alissa was born 2.4kg and one minute later Lucian was born n tiny 2.1kg. Both babies perfect screaming. I was so emotional to at last holding my babies...it was from the instant clear to me that these too is my life and i would die for them any day. I was weeled back to the recovery room and my babies was brought to us for the family to meet them. They where so tiny and beautiful. Both had these intense blue eyes and Lucian had this tanned skin and dark hair and Alissa was the fair skin blond hear beauty. That night at 3am the nurses woke me up and brought the twins to my room for there first feed and for my to start being the real mommy.
Breastfeeding was so special to bond with them was the most amazing experience in the world. That night i did not sleep at all i was so worried that i would not hear them cry or that something would happen to them.
Meeting my babies was the most special experience i have ever had and would treasure it for ever. The instant love is amazing the bonding the responsibility of these tiny humans are all we ever needed to be complete.
I love Being a mommy and i love Lucian and Alissa with everything in me.
Thank you God for these two blessing in our lifes.
