Baby Fadhel came home on 07/11/2011 after spending 47 long days at the New
Orleans Children's Hospital NICU. It was a day of joy mixed with fright over
what's coming next.
The past two months have been the longest two months of my life, bar none.
And Baby Fadhel's coming home, at some points seemed so far and very unlikely.
I have 3 boys and an angel, I have endured the loss of my first baby and then each one of my boys had problems that caused them to stay in the NICU for weeks before coming home to us.
3 NICU tours were my cruel predicament
But with Fadhel things were
different....
He was full term, yet he was the sickest of them all, within two days I had to see his condition spiral downwards, and watch every treatment option fail, and then less than two days after he was born I had to say goodbye to him and watch him get air lifted to another hospital to undergo the "last resort very risky" treatment.
What his little body went through is unimaginable to me and I'm sure to everyone else, and to sit with him yesterday's morning and see him smile and hear him coo, it's absolutely a dream coming true.
Baby Fadhel is home but he still has a long way to recover,
so far he is jaundiced, his liver is still recovering from all the blood
transfusions, and he still needs to be monitored for an ASD in his heart. He is
tiny, he might need early intervention with regards to his development, but I
have great hopes and great expectations.
He is not just a fighter, he's our biggest little miracle..
el7amdulillah, we are blessed, with tests and rewards.
Thank you all, family, friends and even perfect strangers
who supported us through prayers and kind words.

You know rare, rabna ma bya36i ay 3abed foo2 6a2to, el7amdulillah.
We had blessings throughout this ordeal, I'll be thankful for them for the rest of my life.
Fadhel was initially diagnosed with RDS which is what my other two boys had, but after his Dr. talked to me something made her go back and check on him and then she changed her diagnosis 360 degrees and practically saved his life.
We are blessed, I'm 100% sure of that, allah akramna bi ebtela2 bas kaman fi 6a2at faraj raf3at 3anna hmoomna, el 7amdulillah.
