Entry for RACHEL C.

My daughter, Rachel, has been a mom since September 6, 2010.  She and Nick were really ready to be parents.  Even though this doesn’t seem like a long time, she has been through some difficulties.

She developed severe pre-eclampsia and suddenly was hospitalized for 4 days.  This hospitalization was like a roller coaster ride as she would get  better to the point of discharge and then relapse.  On the fourth day, they had to perform a C-section to relieve her symptoms.  She was just starting her 32nd week, so her son had to be in the N.I.C.U. for eight weeks.  He has had to see a few specialists, but is doing fine now.

She works on a busy unit as a nurse, and is devoted to her patients as well as their family members.  Even with this high-stress job, she has been working on an advanced degree and will graduate in May. 

She has been juggling too many roles for such a young Mom.  She is so devoted to her little boy; it is touching to see them together.  Winning the Total Mom Rejuvenation Contest would be such a great reward for surviving all of the challenges she has faced this year!
