The arrival of a miracle

The usual preparations were made for a C-section and several pediatric doctors came by to assure me that they were aware of the situation and they would do everything they could do to take care of the baby after she was delivered. All of my nurses and doctors knew I was afraid and they were so kind and caring. Continually assuring me that we were in the best hands possible. The moment finally came and I was wheeled into delivery. I remember feeling heavy, as if I couldn't breathe and it seemed like a lifetime before they got her out. They told me I had a beautiful 2 pound baby girl but I never got to see her or hear her cry. They must have given me something in my IV because the next thing I remember was waking up in recovery. I asked the nurse about Piper and she told me that they were getting her ready to go across to children's hospital the newborn ICU unit. I cried. Is she ok? I asked. The nurse explained that she had numerous issues and needed to be watched very carefully. My family came in and told me a little about what was going on. My mom, who I could tell was trying to hold it together for my sake was looking very stressed. My husband was crying and telling me that things were pretty bad.
I was trying to talk to my mom and although I was pretty groggy; I could see an incubator being rolled into the room and over to my bed. Here is your baby, the emt said to me. We thought you would like to see her before we take her to Children's hospital. I looked at my tiny child laying there. She only had half of a face. Only one eye. I was immediately worried about her condition but also could tell that she was so sweet, so tiny, so beautiful. I loved her so much and as much as I wanted to be with her. I had to let her go. I could not hold or touch her so I just said; goodbye Piper Grace, Mommy loves you.
