One Terrific Day 2

March 3, 2011 my beautiful daughter Cheyenne Faith Somers was brought into this world. She had changed my life completely. In this paper, I will establish when my daughter was born, where my daughter was born, and my thoughts after I had my daughter, as well as sharing how having her changed my life. I went to Mon General Hospital March2, 2011 (located in Morgantown West Virginia); due to having contractions. My contractions were only ten minutes apart, and I could not sleep at all. They gave me all the medical assistance I needed at the hospital, then finally at 4:14 am, my perfect little angel Cheyenne was born. I was so relieved, stared into her eyes and thoughts just started rushing in my head, on what to do. In my past, I was a partier. I did drink and experimented with drugs. Becoming a mother made me not interested in those things anymore. I was thinking about how to be the best mom I could be, how to better mine and Cheyenne’s life, and what to do next. I believe this is normal when you have a kid. I took all these thoughts into consideration though. I did not grow up knowing my birth family, I was in foster care. I really did not want that for my daughter. To keep this from happening I continued to think, and wanted to

    I will never forget that morning my mom came into my room to wake me up and tell me we had to go to the hospital. Several hours later Ava was born! I will remember all my life the first time I got to hold her. It was about 1 hour after she was born, she was so tiny! She didn’t cry much at first, and when she did it wasn’t that loud. Things have definitely changed, she likes to cry now, and really loud too. Besides that I love her so much!…

    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.…

    It was almost 5am on July 17, 1996, when I was rushed to the hospital. I was balled up in the back seat of my mother in laws car, biting down on a towel because the pain was so unbearable.

    Upon arriving it became obvious the night ahead of us would be long. I had not dilated at all, but my body was in labor. After some time, the doctor hooked me up to I.V. medication to speed up the process. I requested my epidural and the anesthesiologist came. After inserting the epidural, they informed my mother they would be back when they did the c-section on me. My mother did not tell me this until after the delivery. She knew I had prayed, and believed by faith I would deliver Micah naturally. Several medical people had told me I would not deliver my baby naturally due to my size and shape, but I prayed and trusted God would somehow aid me in a natural delivery. I had to go back to work seventeen days after Micah was born.…

    A certified nursing assistant (CNA) is not the same as a medical assistant. The occupations both involve working with patients and collaborating with nurses and physicians in medical settings, but a CNA has much more specific duties. CNAs aid nurses by doing patient prep work, such as taking temperature or blood pressure, feeding and bathing patients, and filling the role of a general caregiver for patients who may not need constant medical attention, but do need assistance with personal maintenance in between medical procedures. CNAs and medical assistants may work in similar settings and perform similar tasks even if their level of education and their requirements for licensure or certification are different. A crucial difference between the two is that CNAs tend to provide bedside care to senescent patients, where medical assistants assist more with procedural or administrative preparation and housekeeping.…

    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,…

    My grandma told me that if they worsened, she would take me to the hospital. Shortly thereafter about 5 minutes later, the contractions worsened and my cousin picked us up to go to the hospital. I was already dilated to 5 centimeters when I was admitted. The doctor gave me an epidural which really helped, but I was so afraid to birth naturally that the doctors gave me an emergency c-section. I was awake during the delivery and remember that when they cut me open it felt really weird and numb. When my baby was born he looked like his dad. Dray came to the hospital, he was so happy as was my family. Soon after, I kicked everyone out so I could get some rest. I named my son, Tyrinn.…
