| All about Kayla | ||||||||||||||
| Hello my name is Kayla Nicole I am 7 years old. I have a condition called Spastic quadraplegic Cerebral Palsy. I was born 15 weeks early. I weighed 1lb, and 7 ounces and was 12 inches long. I spent a total of 3 1/2 months in the Neonatal Intensive care at Children's Hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. When I was 3 weeks old, I got something called Ecoli menigits but thank God it never got in my blood or I wouldn'b be here today to talk about it. When I was 2 months old I had to have laser surgery on my eyes. I had a condition called ROP( Retinopathy of Prematurity). Dr. Scott the Dr. that did my surgery told my mom that if they didn't do the surgery that there was a 100% chance that I would go blind, well my mom agreed to the surgery and I am glad that she did. I was born September 1, 1995 and I came home December 22, 1995. My mom says that I am the best Christmas present that she could have asked for. I came home on oxygen and a heart monitor when I was 4 months old I got a really bad ear infection. It ruptured my eardrum. Well, the infection cleared up but the hole never closed up like it was supposed to. So I still get constant ear infections because of the hole in my ear. I had 1 surgery in June of 2000 they went in and patched up the hole but it didn't work. When I was 6 months old I got off of the oxygen it was a major milestone for me. When I was 15 months I was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. It has been a long tough road, and we are still struggling to get there. But God always does what he thinks is best. I still can't walk or talk yet, but I can crawl on the floor and that is how I get around. I do get in trouble just like any other kid when I do something wrong. I am a very happy little girl. I have 2 brothers. Jesse is 11 I really look up to him. I chase him around the house alot. Sometimes when we start getting hyper it gets on mom's nerves but at the same time she is also happy that I am able to interact with my brother. I also have a baby brother, Kenneth is 2 year old. we fight alot he is so mean to me sometimes. He is always taking toys away from me. But he does think about me alot. If mommy is giving him a snack he will say sisy one. I couldn't ask for a better family. I am very blessed I have a family that loves me no matter what kind of disability I have. I believe that even if I was alot worse than I am that my mom and dad would still love me unconditionally no matter what was wrong with me. Mom always tells everyone that I am her Miracle baby. That most babies as small as I was don't make it. She says that I am deffinitely a fighter. I am 7 years old. I love all of my friends I am also in awanas at church. Even though I can't talk I can still participate I have a communication device and me and mommy go over my verses all week and then she records them on there for me and when I get to awanas I push the botton and I get my patches. I love it it is alot of fun.Well we have moved from Oklahoma to maryland. I like it here I have alot of friends at school and church. I do miss my nana and papa and all my friends in Oklahoma but I have made alot of friends here. Well that is about it on me right now I will update as I can.
