I can't believe it was 25 years ago today that I had my first child....Oh my gosh how time goes by. We were scheduled for a c section due to complications during the last two months of my pregnancy. I also was diagnosed with toxemia. My blood pressure was out of control as was my water weight gain. I had already spent three weeks in the hospital being observed and fused over in case of seisures. Anyway during a severe thunderstorm and tornadoes coming in and out of the downriver area, I was waiting to deliver what in his early years was to be quite a little tornado. Patients were moved into the interior areas of the hospital and my husband, parents and my obstetrician where all sitting outside my room in the hallway on the floor while I was being monitored inside near windows....go figure. But after some time he was delivered and was healthy and stong at under five pounds. Happy Birthday Patrick and may the next 25 years be as exciting, fulfilling and immensely happy as you enter your own family life....luv mom
