so the last chapter I was telling you about how my son had hydrocephalus right well because I had hydrocephalus they said that's a high risk pregnancy so I had to see the doctor a lot more than just regular doctor at a specialist that would check in all the time well because there's tricked him all the time they were able to see that I was putting myself at risk I had preeclampsia or my ankles were so swollen I couldn't hardly walk and I had high blood pressure so I was always tired and I had to stress test two times a week well my stress test at the end of the pregnancy started to get so bad that they just said that they needed to induce my labor or I was going to end up dying so again I went to the hospital I let the baby's dad know that I was going into the hospital and if you wanted to see him he's welcome too after he was born he was going to stay at the hospital to be checked over by his neurologist he decided he wanted to come out really fast I was not even able to get an epidural before he popped up they were getting ready to do it and I told him I had to push they look down in the nurse just had this crazy look on her face she ended up having to deliver my son My doctor didn't even make it there on time he came out 5 lb 14 oz he was early and they took him right away after he was born even though I was clean and he was clean I had somebody come in that said they were from CPS I didn't understand why they were there when I was clean and baby was clean but because I went to the doctor so many times High they ended up keeping record of it so she came in and she said she was a social worker and she asked me if I had a problem not even thinking I said yes and because of saying yes I myself signed myself up for CPS I was so mad that was all what just cuz I said yes now I have to sign over my rights and God for my mom and dad but before I could even take my son home he was having some problems his platelets were low he had a fever off and on and his neurologist came to me and said Heidi I promise you this I will be testing your son if he has any type of d**g at all in him I will fight for him to not be with you I just didn't understand why he was being so mean but now I know it's the best interest for the baby and he said the exact words that you did hear because I breastfed him I didn't even smoke cigarettes cuz I didn't want anything to go to him he was in the hospital for about a month I went and seen him everyday they documented it of course I also went to pick him up twice and he ended up not being able to leave because of something like his platelets were low one time and he had a fever the next time that is the hardest thing and when you go to the hospital and say okay I'm going to pick up my baby this is the day and when you come home with nothing but an empty car seat. so I ended up getting my son home of course my parents had to go with me because they had all rights at first with him which I was angry at but now I'm happy about because anywhere I took him somebody had to go with me his dad wanted to see him one time and the only way I could go is if my sister would take me and she has to stay the whole time and to be honest I don't know what would have happened if I would have went right myself he got to see a son that would be the last time for a few years to be honest so I had CPS for about 6 months I graduated in everything when my son was about 4 months old he ended up having a seizure and one of my NA meetings I took him to the hospital and another neurologist that I was seeing as well told me we'll just wait for him to have another one we don't need to have the procedure yet it wasn't that bad of a seizure I was confused so I went to my regular doctor I asked him what to do and he says you got to be their advocate if you think it's best for him to have the procedure then that's what you need to do so that's what I did I went to his neurologist appointment I looked at him and I looked at the doctor and I told him I'm not going to wait for another seizure anything can happen and it won't hurt either way if he has his procedure or not so I rather do it now before it's too late The doctor looked at me and said I understand we'll make that appointment right away so that's what we did we made that appointment that day for the month after
