My mama had my little brother July 13, 2012. He came out purple and needed oxygen. He died soon after he while in the hospital, but the doctors were able to revive him. He was sent to the NICU and hooked up to all sorts of wires.
The next day we were able to see Gideon. We entered the hospital NICU where he was. He looked horrible! He was on different medications, which made him look bloated and not like a baby.
He stayed in the hospital for about 17 days and then was discharged. He still needing surgery on his heart but the doctors thought he was stabilized enough to go home.
I remember the day Gideon came home for the first time. When mama came inside, she went in to the room and told us to wash are hands so we could take turns holding him.
You know when your a little kid , you don't see anything wrong with some things. I didn't really think there was anything wrong with my 1st little brother. I thought he was just a normal little baby. But little did I know that Gideon was truly a Miracle.
