about my baby girl

One of the many characters in my life story is my baby girl. It was my third pregnancy and I didn't feel any different during the pregnancy as I recall. It was only when I had an ultrasound done about two weeks prior to the due date did we find out that she has hydrocephalus, basically enlarged head due to excessive fluids in the brain. For normal people, fluids drain from around our brain because there are small holes between the ventricles of the head that somehow preventing fluids from building up in our heads. (As I am trying to explain this, I am amazed at how God is able to design even small matters like this for human bodies to function properly. And we don't even need to think about it on a daily basis.) But that was not the case for her.

Because of this condition, she had a shunt placed from her head to her stomach when she was only four days old. We stayed in the hospital for 18 days.

This is the background information of the many stories relating to her short lived life and also her death.
