hydrocephalus memoir part2comingsoon partone shortstory spina spinabifida

About half-way through Melodie's pregnancy, Duke and Melodie received news that they never thought they would hear. 
"It appears that your daughter will be born with Spina Bifida." Melodie's doctor said at her 20-week ultrasound, where she also found out her baby was a girl. It was discovered that their daughter had this condition when they found a quarter-sized hole in her tail-bone.
At the sound of those words, Duke and Melodie didn't know what to think. They sat there in front of the doctor in silence.
"Also, it looks like your daughter has fluid on the brain." 
"What?" Duke and Melodie were beyond confused at this point. They were definitely not expecting this news.
"The term for this is hydrocephalus. She will need to have a shunt inserted into her head immediately after she is born. She will have two surgeries close to each other. Your baby will need to transfer by ambulance to Children's Hospital so that they can treat her condition. If she doesn't get the shunt, she won't be able to survive for very long. Once she is born, you will notice her head is slightly bigger than it should be."All Rights Reserved

Touch Her And... (Completed) by chakrabortypuja94

Dev, he saw the same dream every night, the same beautiful curly haired girl, looking at him with those pleading pair of eyes, but he could do nothing to save her from drowning. He tried to avoid this weird attraction towards an imaginary girl, tried to fight the growing pain inside him but what did he do when the girl from his dreams came into his life like a gust of wind? He settled to his instincts. Instincts that made him borderline obsessive. Rik, he learned to control the pain, the dream didn't bother him anymore the way it bothered his twin brother, at least that's what he told himself, that the suffocations are normal, that not finding peace at anything was normal, that painting the picture of her and keeping them secret was normal. He hated her for disturbing his peace of mind, until the day he saw her from the very front. And then he knew he will do anything to have her in his life. Teressa, being ignorant to everything, dived into a world that took her back to the darkest part of her life. A life that kept following her from the past, along with the twin brothers. The more she learnt the more pain she felt it. The growing emotion, that led her towards the truth. A curse that knew no bounds, started pulling them together without their knowledge. _________________________________________ UNDER MAJOR EDITING. ● PLEASE NOTE : The pictures/videos or songs, none of these belong to me.

Dad's best friend secret baby by Bethel435

I committed the ultimate betrayal. Instead of helping my best friend's daughter, I claimed her innocence and got her pregnant. After a few years I had gone back to visit my lifelong friend. By then, I had built my tech empire in NYC and was in search for a special-needs-nanny for my 3-year-old daughter suffering from selective mutism. My friend suggested his daughter, a childhood education graduate. The unspoken rule was obvious; keep my hands off his daughter. But then I laid eyes on her... She was the one whose legs were wrapped around me just the night before. And the one whose luscious body I had wildly devoured. She's half my age and every man's dirty fantasy. I tried keeping my distance, but she was like a wildfire consuming my self-control. And the only person to bring my daughter's smile and speech back. Now she is pregnant, and I will stop at nothing to claim her as mine, even if it means losing my best friend.

Death Is My BFFLAD (Book Two Original Series) by katrocks247

(Bfflad- Best friends for life and death) Dear Reader, Let's start at the beginning shall we? I died. Oh no, not one of these stories again where someone angelic and heroic saves the damsel in distress. If only I was that lucky. My heart stopped beating. My lungs stopped working, my soul began to lift away... And then I was saved by a beautiful man with a kind heart and sparkles sprinkled around his head in a golden halo. A cunning, dazzling smile etched his angled features and his hair lay perfectly on his head like...black, sinful layers of pure cynical distrusting evil. Evil that was just waiting to onset a innocent girl as myself and allow her a short amount of time of happiness, and then finish her off when she became older. I'll give you a hint. The beginning of that description was slightly exaggerated. The Angel of Death. One of the only creatures known that was capable of settling the boundaries of heaven on earth. The only creature capable of making one of the Devil's darkest deals to my loving mother; a second chance for her daughter. This comes with consequences of course. Everything you know about Death is wrong. Death is not natural, Death is not normal, Death is not doleful, and Death is far from mercenary. Death blends into the shadows like coal against the most atramentous sky. Death walks the earth with his cursed, monstrous and exotic features, his enticing voice and betraying alluring eyes. Death deceives, scratches, and plays with your mind, until you slowly and painfully loose your grip on reality. He'll make you believe he's a different person, that there's a sliver hope for him. Hope for you. Death is close. Forever and always, Faith Williams ************ DIMBFF FAN CLUB ON FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1605057011183.80718.1378871754&type=1#!/groups/308207282529485/ **** MY WRITING PAGE!

He sighed at the sight of our staring contest, "She's not from outer space you know, she eats, sleeps, says a few words, just like us," I shook my head in disbelief, "I don't know what to do, I've never taken care of a kid before," he chuckled, "Well here's your chance. Just promise me something, promise me that you will be there for her, love her, provide for her, be the God damn best father the world has ever seen," I nod my head at him. I looked into her deep blue eyes, then with conviction I said, "I promise." **************************************************************************************************** Sam walked out of Leo's life a few years ago, leaving him for her one true love; the military, he's now faced with the greatest challenge of all: fatherhood.

We are going to see a doctor after this though and make sure she's okay. How about I do a couple more songs for you. Just two though. I do need to take her to the doctor." That's all I hear before I fall asleep. • • "You know you start school soon right?" he says like he's trying to sound like a father. "You're actually gonna make me go to that hell hole?" "Watch your language. Your only 14 and yes. I'm making you go to that hell hole." • • "Why are you the calm one? Most kids would be freaking out." "I need to stay strong for mine and your mentality. The last thing either one of us needs is to freak out completely." • • A story about a girl. That gets adopted by a famous singer. And her world is turned upside down. Don't miss out on this book about her journey through high school. ⚠️Rated Mature For Suicidal Actions and Depressing Content⚠️

I hear a voice say "Don't try to speak Collin you have a tube down your throat. We will notify your family that your awake". I look for the source of the voice but faces with a women dressed in a white lab coat and has this weird thing around her neck. She injects me with something and everything went black again I wake up again and the thing down my throat was gone. I try to speak but my voice was dry. "Water" I say and someone gives me a glass on water. I drink and I feel like I haven't drank water for years. "Collin are you okay" a voice say. It sound familiar but I don't member from where.

What happened whenn you wake up and you don't remember anything. Life moved on without you
