On a beautiful, hot summer day a bouncy baby girl was born on June 26,1999 at Emanuel Hospital. A couple minutes later, when all of sudden I stopped breathing, there was no sound of a heartbeat nothing at all…Doctors started rushing in trying to do CPR on me and stabilized me trying to keep me alive. Then, they had x-rayed me and had shown my dad and my mom my results of my intestines coming up and crushing my lungs and my heart and he said I had congital diathragmatia herma. After that, I was immeadiately rushed to Stanford Hospital and stabilized for three days. When I was a couple days old I got bapitized. After being five days old, they had done surgery on me. Fourty-five minutes after the surgery, the doctors said I have to stay in the hospital and be watched 24\7. Finally a couple months later, on Friday the 13th I had came home. Ever since then, I have been a healthy beautiful young lady living my wonderful life and experiencing new things and living my dreams.
