This is baby Michael.
His mama is strong because she spent almost 20 hours laboring naturally before reaching 9 centimeters. She is strong because even after her dream of a home birth was crushed because of a heart rate decels and meconium she agreed to transfer to the hospital for her son's health. She is strong, because even with doctors permission to continue naturally, she followed her mommy instincts and demanded the c-section that shortly after saved her life. She is strong because she survived a complete uterine rupture.
She is strong because the day after having major surgery she traveled an hour to the children's hospital to be with her son. She is amazing because she was thankful for the 4 short days she was given with her sweet baby boy. She is strong because she soaked in love for her baby as he passed in her arms. She is amazing because she still believes in natural birth. She is a survivor because she perseveres everyday to make her 2 year old and 4 year old feel safe and loved. She is strong because she will forever live without a piece of her heart.
