Hello all… hurricane Fay been real cool to watch so far, but of course i hope everyone is safe and good too. alright i want to share my story about my “failure to thrive” as a baby. here the link about “failure to thrive” http://kidshealth.org/parent/growth/growth/failure_thrive.html
I showed few pics of me as a baby at beginning and at the end of video. I was born an “failure to thrive” baby, i have problems breathing, heart problem, could not shallow baby milk, did not gain weight as much as i should, was delayed in my development for sitting up, crawling, walking, due to my problem with motor skill, web neck, problem breathing, problem with shallowing, but it was not bad enough that i needed any tubes but i had monitors to watch my heart and breathing. it was just alot more work for my mom to feed me as i would not eat. i did not sit up or crawl or walk until very late age, i started crawling at age 9 months, only on my back, i would not lay on my stomach. i did not sit up till i was about 10 months old. i walked at age 2 and half. my weight was soo slow at gaining, i was only 20 pounds at age 1, i was 7 pounds as newborn but did not gain weight very well. I hated eating as a baby and i refused solid food until i was about 2, when i had tonsils out, i slowly accepted food. i was pretty strong and fought to survive the hardship i had as baby. at age 3 i finally was eating fine and my motor skills were picking up and i was doing much better. i wonder if any of u had problem with failure to thrive as a baby or u had a baby who was a failure to thrive? thanks for watching my vlog…
