I named my daughter Ayesha,it seemed fitting,she weighed 5 lbs 14 oz and was so tiny,she still had the infection and so she had tubes up her arms ,but she was able to spend the night with me in her incubator.
The next day i woke and i was thankful she was here and i was blessed.That morning the woman came to do Ayesha's hearing ,i agreed,but during the test my daughter suddenly turned purple she had stopped breathing,i was trying to remain calm the lady was hysterical i just went into auto pilot called the nurse raced to the oxygen tent....those few second's were like a life time i thought i would lose her,i do not know what i would have done .
When it happened again with the woman with me this time i feared the worst ...she took a lot longer to come round even the nurse was frantic....On the third and final time before finally the nurse demanded that my daughter have special care as she had seen my struggle throughout the pregnancy,she demanded my right's ...my daughter was kept on special care for a week and then returned .it was then that i let my emotion's out i suddenly realised i could have lost her forever ,i cannot describe the turmoil you go through when you see your child's body go so lifeless all i can say is that i am fortunate that she came back to me.
When she finally returned back to my ward i allowed the children to visit,i did not want them to have picture's in their head of her with tube's coming out all over her body.
They fell in love with her straight away...
The only downside to hospital was that i was in there for 2 weeks and some nurses ignorence about mental health was plain intolerable,it hurt me so much that i almost put ayesha back in special care just for me to get out of there they looked at me as though i was dirt -one nurse kept calling my psychiatric doctor's saying that i had to be supervised 24 /7 he came marching down and had a right showdown said that i was a good mother ect and somethings i would not be able to repeat.
