My Sweet Cheyenne. SHe was born april 15th 2006 by c-section 11 week early. Her due date was june 24th. SHe weighed 1lb 9.5oz at birth and was 13 in long. She was born with a head full of dark heair and never lost it. My moms fav joke about the day Cheyenne was born was that she was squeekin mad. Cause thats all she could do was squeek. But she made herself known. 2 days later she was transfered to Loma Linda because they had a better NICU then the hospital she was born at. A week later we were told about all the defects she was born with, worst of wich was her heart deffect. Double outlet right ventracal. Becasue of her small size surgery was not an option at the time. SHe had to be 4 pounds before surgery. She was on a c-pap for breathing for 5 weeks then was intebated. SHe developed 2 major brain bleeds that affected her moter skills. On June 21st I was told that her lungs were now too badly damaged and that surgery was no longer an option at all an that I would have to let her go. At 11 pm She was put into my arms where she would stay till she passed away. at midnight she was taken off the vent and was pronounced at 1 am june 22nd 2006 2 days from her due date and she weighed 3 pounds 14 oz. 
 

That is her story Now I would like to tell you about HER. She loved to have her head rubbed. No matter how fussy she was if Momma rubed her tiny head she calmed right down and even would lean into my hand. When she heard my voice she would turn her head tord me. She always tryed to open her eyes for me and on the few times she was able to she would look right at me and only me. SHe had a strong grip and held my finger all the time. WHen I would stroke her bottom lip she would smile. She had the sweetest smile. She was very smart. She figured out that if she licked the bridge tape holding her breating tube in it would come lose and she could pull the tube out. She extebated herself at least 5 times. She suprised everyone with her strength and her will to fight.
