A full beginning.

Nathanial was born at 38 weeks just 2 weeks before he was suppose to. At first he seemed perfect. He was born 7 lB 7 oz. Most babies are born upset but Nate was right out pissed off. He looked like an angry old man. By about 24 hours old he was refusing to eat and I was becoming very worried. The nurse kept telling me not to worry but I was sure that something was wrong, he was throwning up green bile and just seemed off. I couldn’t say exactly how just that something was wrong. At around 30 hours old the nurse on duty noticed that his belly seemed a bit distended and thathe had not yet had his first bowel movement. She informed the pediatrician on duty and began monitoring him. They soon noticed that Nate was getting worse and that he was starting to show signs of his body becoming toxic because of his system backing up. The pediatrician contacted Sick Kids Hospital for a consultation and it was decided that Nate would be transfered there for evaluation. An emergancy transfer team was called and at about 36 hours old he was rushed to Sick Kids. Upon arrival they x-rayed him and found that he had a complete bowel blockage. They cleaned him out. He very quickly began feeling much better. He was kept for a few more days and then transfered back to the local hospital and at a week old was released and sent home. It was belived that he was well. It was later discovered that he actually hadsever bowel issues but that is a story for another day.
