The Day My Niece Was Born

It was a regular cool autumn day, I was at home with my little sister. Time passed, and my mom finally got home from work. A few minutes later, she received a phone stating that my oldest sister Ciara is in labor. When I found out, I was shocked and excited at the same time. I hurried up and got dressed we got in the car and rushed to the hospital. When we arrived we went to the room she was being held in, she took epidural so she wouldn’t feel any pain. We had to leave because, they were about to take her to another room so she could finally give birth. My dad arrived at the hospital a little while later, he was breathing hard I could tell he was nervous by the sweat on the top of his bald shiny head. He hurried to the room my sister was in. I was pacing back and forth in the waiting room, biting my nails I was super nervous. My forehead was sweating; I had no idea what would happen next. I kept thinking to myself “what if something goes wrong” and “what’s happening in the room?” My big sister Shanice came into the waiting room and us talking helped me stay calm a little bit. We were in the hospital for hours, waiting patiently and impatiently. Me, I was impatient I couldn’t wait to find out if the baby was going to be a boy or girl…what the baby was going to look like etc. my bought us something to eat, she had to leave because she had to work in the morning. We ate and watched TV in the waiting room, still waiting for the baby to be born. Finally an hour ½ later my dad came into the waiting room and told my sister and I the good news..our niece had been born. Her name was Morgan…He showed us the video of her being born. It was the most disgusting thing I had ever seen, blood was everywhere. I couldn’t tell what was the baby and what wasn’t. The umbilical cord looked like a fat veiny, spaghetti noodle. While my sister was giving birth, all we heard on the video was my dad shouting,

    My father had picked me up while carrying me to mother, not angry like I thought they’d be. They held me whilst mother saying, “No one can replace you, Abigail, we love you dearly.” And “Nothing will change, even when the baby will come.” father told me. After that talk, I grew to love the fact that I am going to be a big sister.…

    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…

    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.…

The other was from Detective South of the Burke County Sheriff’s Office, telling me that I had no choice but to turn myself in. I remember him saying “If you run I will find you”.

    After a week, I took him back to the emergency room. This time they took blood and ran tests. I was a nervous wreck! I paced up and down the hall holding my son; he was crying so hard his face was as red as a Christmas light. I was so scared and upset; he was only eight months old. I remember praying as I paced that floor, asking God to please let my son be alright. We were in that emergency room for eight…

    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,…
