i'm Becky...my amazing daughter, Vega was 2 in July & was Dx with CF in the 1st week of her beautiful life. We had a home birth & had planned to since the very beginning...it was wonderful, painful but wonderful...she was perfect, our lil princess Vega was finally here!...her daddy & i just laid in bed with her in between us sleeping...both of just staring @ her...i remember thinking for the first time in my whole life that everything was perfect..peaceful...i was put on this earth to love her.
....we took her into the hospital @ 30 hrs old b/c she hadn't yet had a bowel movement...she was still eating & sleeping & seemed to be content with her new lil life so i wasn't real worried...thought they wld give her something & we be home in no time...WRONG...with in like 20 mins we were back & they were sticking my poor lil baby all over the place, she was crying so hard...i felt so helpless then they told us she had meconium ileus & that often times this was a sign of CF...what the **** is CF?!!...i cld tell it was something serious by how they talked to us but i had no idea what it was...over the next few hrs & days i got a lil crash course in medicine...& with in a week the test results were back & my lil princess for sure had CF.
...i had always complained about the city we live in (& still do) but our city is home to an amazing childrens hospial, LeBonhuer. & our CF clinic is directly across the street so Vega recieved exceptional care & we learned a lot & honestly i felt a lot of support & strength from the staff...is was such a blessing in such a scary time...
so thats how it all got started...she's 2 now & has been pretty healthy so far...i've learned so much in these past 2 yrs...not just about CF but about life & whats important...it really puts thing in perspective!...we've had our fair share of rough patches, but thats life. i feel like as momma i'm supposed to be her rock but in reality it's her that gives me strength...
