.

Around about this time last year i discovered i was pregnant. I never knew what the journey would turn out like ..

At 6 weeks pregnant after a bleed they told me she was a blighted ovum and i should naturally miscarriage with in the week ..a week later there was a heart beat.

From 9-14 weeks i spent the majority of the time on a drip unable to eat or drink anything.

At 20 weeks they told me she had an adbormal heart and dextrocardia ( right sided heart )

At 23 weeks i was admitted again and given steroids as a test came back i was at risk of going in to premature labour.

At 28 weeks they diagnosed her with severe congenital diaphramatic hernia with liver in the chest and gave her a 15 percent chance of surviving.

At 33 weeks they diagnosed her with heart coarctation and 2 holes and gave a her hardly any chance of surviving adding everything together and offered me a termination.

At 36 weeks on new years day they induced me as she had stopped growing.

On the 2nd of january , sienna Kelly was born. On the first night they nearly called it 3 times but she kept fighting, telling me the next morning there was lil chance of her making it ...but she fought and continued to fight.

Against all odds a year later from the very beginning my lil girl is sitting next to me and has made my life complete.

Never give up hope and never take anything for granted .

Sienna Kelly , you are my world ,my everything and you will forever make me proud.

Love you forever.

She has on going issues she is at home on oxygen and feeding tube meds etc ..when she was born they found she had a rare lung syndrome too which together with the fact her lungs are underdeveloped because of the congenital diaphragmatic hernia..could be a risky mix as one causes chest infections ( treated the same as cystic fibrosis but called kartenegers ) and the under developed lungs means she wont fight the infections aswell as another kartengers baby who didn't have CDH.

she has a really small left lung and half a right.

her heart still has the hole ,had surgery for the coarctation. And the Cdh. She also has pulmonary hypertention.

they have given her am average of 5 years before needing a lung transplant but there is no way of saying really .

That's so adorable how she looks so happy and smiley in the second picture, and so thoughtful and serious in the third picture!
But the first picture... Oh my, what a tiny wee scrap she was. Well done to both of you xxx
