Isaiah Mykal Gonzalez

Isaiah was born on June 30,2005, he is the light of my life..When I found out I was pregnant, I couldn't of been happier. Then, 6 months later I found out that he was very sick..the doctors told me that my son had Spina Bifida(spinal cord on the out-side),Hyracephalus(fluid on the brain) and dextracardia(heart on right side). I was completly devistated...the doctors gave me no hope and said he would never survive the pregnancy so i should just have an abortion...I could never do that so, I continued to fight through the pregnancy and at 38 weeks he was born..he was the most beautiful baby i had ever seen..he weighed 5lbs 13oz and was 17 1/4 inches long....he was like a little angel..he had surgery the day after he was born to reconstruct his spinal cord. A week later he had shunt surgery to drain the fluid off his brain. during these surgeries we found out the worst..he had more problems..they found that he had scoliosis(spine was curved), bronchio-trachia malasia(trachea colapses when he swallows), and arnold-chiari malformation(the cerabellum is pushed down into the spinal cord), he was such a little fighter..he did everything they said he would never do..he drank from a bottle, ate baby food, smiled, talked, rolled over...he wouldnt crawl or walk b/c of the spina bifida was so severe he had no feeling from his hips down..but, he was just like any other baby..he was my little miracle.
