Anxious moment
My brother being born prematurely was a very anxious moment in my life. He was born just below two pounds and needed to be in an incubator at the hospital for two months, the doctor had told my family and I. Those two months were the longest two months of my life. I feared for the worst and my mind was very unease. My family and I would visit him as much as possible, hoping he was okay and even still alive. My anxiousness had gotten worse when the doctors had told my family that my brother needed a blood transfusion. He was so small I really didn’t believe he was going to be able to make it, it really worried me and disappointed me. Disappointed and upset, I have felt like my family and I had bad luck. The second month came by and my little brother was looking a lot better, he gained weight and the doctor told us he was almost ready to leave the hospital. Though I was still anxious, that news was really refreshing and gave me a better feeling for the whole situation. We visited my brother everyday for the past 3 weeks, a little after the third week the doctor cleared my brother to come home. Suddenly that anxious feeling became an excited, grateful and very joyful feeling. I could not wait. I arrived from church and as a surprise my mom decided to get my brother from the hospital without telling my other little brother and I, with my baby brother lying on my bed, there he was my baby brother. Suddenly that anxious feeling, disappointment and even sometimes anger felt worth it as soon as I seen my baby brother safe and lying in my bed.

My older sister was burned in her leg that was a 3rd degree burn, luckily it was nothing bigger than just in her leg, and she was very fortunate that the petroleum that was being used around her did not jump all over her and that there were adults around her to stop the fire from spreading. My older brother has had two close near death experience. The first one was when he was about 7 or 8 years old and we had gone to a lake. I and my older sister were collecting seashells and my brother was showing of that he knew how to swim better than us.

He is waving his hands so we can see him trying to get our attention and that’s when we realize that he is drowning. Both my sister and I run to tell my parents and uncles.

    May 12th, 2000. This was the day that marked the birth of my first little boy, Christopher Cole Bowen. He was a healthy7lb. 3oz. bundle of joy! He was perfect or so we thought. We brought him home on Mother’s day. He was doing so well. We had a wonderful week, our first week at home with our new baby boy. That Thursday night we put him down for the night and went to sleep expecting him to get up in a couple of hours to eat. The next thing I knew it was 8:00am and he had not gotten up during the night at all to eat. We woke him up to feed him, but he didn’t eat very much. My mother’s instinct just told me something was not right. After calling the doctor’s office several times throughout the day and the nurse telling me he was fine, give him a bath, he will eat when he gets hungry. I got fed…

    I then realized the look on the doctor’s face and that in it spoke the words that were unspoken. She started explaining to us that the mother was only 22 ½ weeks along and that she was going into premature labor. We had a decision to make -we could either let her naturally go into labor with the baby being breech (this will cause a head catch) which lessens the chance of survival or do an emergency C- section. For the first time in my life I had no way of fixing this. This was out of my hands and into the hands of God. I felt alone, desperate and frightened. I just kept thinking this wasn’t supposed to happen to me. I’m a good person! I go to church; I help people in need, and I greet people with a smile to brighten their day. So the question kept popping in mind why did this happen to me?…

    On September 8th 1990, it was a hot sunny day in the city of Cali, Colombia. Temperature around 88°F with very low humidity, normal for that time of year, since the summer was about to begin. A sky full of altocumulus clouds cooled the estimated population of about 1.7 million people ("1990 population estimate for Cali, Colombia."). Among that population there was my mother. Already late for her gynecology appointment, inconveniently causes by a car accident, she would shortly find out when I would be entering the world. The accident turned a 20-minute drive in a 45-minute drive. Rushing into the clinic, as the doctor’s assistant was calling her name, she rapidly was taken to the back to speak with the provider. When the doctor came into the room he calmly said, “I have good news, and bad news”. My mom’s heart already racing she decided to go with the bad news first. “The probability of being a complicated birth is pretty high, which means the surgical team will have to perform a cesarean section instead of a vaginal birth”. My mother relived thinking it would be something much worse she asked the doctor to go ahead with the good news. “The baby will probably be arriving today”. My mom became frantic, “that’s the good news? They might as well both have been bad! My mother panicked, she had nothing ready for the birth, since her first child was not due for another 10 days. Her hormone levels raging at an all time sky high, she shortly began to cry. The doctor and his staff hugged her and reassured her that everything was going to be ok. They quickly rushed her to the hospital where they would have all the equipment in the event that there were any major complications. Once she was all settled in, the operating room staff started to prepare for the birth around 3:15 P.M. The staff thought I was ready to come out, however I took another three hours to make my grand appearance. At 6:23 PM I arrived spreading my arms and legs with a…

    I'm so nervous and worried but they called us into the room to get her ready for the surgery. My little baby girl didn't know what was about to happen. My heart was falling apart to see her so small and having to experience this. They finally take her in so I tell her how much I love her and cry. After seven hours of waiting, they call me and tell me that the surgery was over and I could go in to intensive care to see her. That moment was the worst seeing her in so much pain. She passed out on me twice and doctors were so concerned of her reaction. Being there for a month wondering if she was going to make it or not is something I don't wish no one will ever have to go through. But my little angel, my warrior, fought so hard, she overcame it and we left the hospital on January 29th making our way back to El Paso,…

    At 12:30 at night on June 1, 2015, my life would soon change forever. I was pregnant with my first child and my water had just broken. My mom rushed me to the hospital where I was immediately put in a private room, in the hospital bed where I was about to deliver my first child, a son. He came so quickly (5 & 1/2 hours in total) and I had requested no pain medications and turned it down on several occasions as the medical staff pleaded with me to use it. The pain began to become more and more unbearable, so much so that I honestly felt paralyzed from my waist down. My body was taking over to my surprise and I was just there with my legs in stirrups. They seemed immovable and with the pains coming faster, it is as if they stopped receiving any of the signals my brain was sending to them.…

    August 9th, 1998 was the day when my fight and formation as a person began. My mother was rushed to Piedmont Hospital, in panic, because I was eager to be born exactly two months before my due date.

    In 1989, Jerome Kagan, a professor of psychology at Harvard, had just begun a major longitudinal study of inborn temperament and its long-term effects, a study that would eventually include 498 children and would follow them from infancy to young adulthood. He suspected that some of the four month olds in the study would respond to their environment more intensely than other babies did, and that their “high reactive” nature would play out in the way they grew up, causing them to become high-strung, shy, and prone to anxiety. Eager to test his hypothesis, he observed videotapes of the first fifty babies in the study, looking for high-reactive infants.…

    My mother said that when I were born, I couldn’t cry. I have come out so early and so weak that the first six months of my life were spent in the hospital. I also never crawled around like other babies, only laying on bed and crying out silent scream. Even the doctor said that there was only 50% chance that I would grow up normally.…
