my little girl born with gastroschisis

We found out when i was about 5 months pregnant that my little girl had gastroschisis. i was really worried as i didnt know what it was but the more i read about it the better i understood.they told me she would be smaller than average. i had regular scans to see how she was doing.

She came at 37 weeks as i was induced when she was born i seen her for like a second before she was taken away from us. it felt like hours before we got to see her. she was in icu for a week then transferred to the normal baby unit. which was a big relief as it was one step closer to getting her home. she was in hospital for 3 weeks. we had regular hospital appointments til she was 1 and a half when she finally got discharged. she is now 5 years old and we havent looked back.

she is in fact above average for her height and her weight is average. shes got a little scar where her belly button would`ve been, but had no other problems since the day we took her home from the hospital. just to let people know that there is in fact light at the end of the tunnel.
