THIS
IS THE STORY OF AKIMA
AKIMA WAS BORN 10-20-2000 IN LEESBURG FLA. SHE WAS DUE ON HALLOWEEN BUT AKIMA
WAS READY TO COME OUT. THE DR INDUCED MY LABOR ON 10-19-2000 AND KIMA WAS BORN
AT 12:58 AM 10-20. AT FIRST THE DRS WERE THINKING THAT SHE HAD "FAS" BUT AFTER
TESTING THEY FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS ADDICTED TO CODINE (THE DR GOT IN TROUBLE
FOR THAT) THEN THEY MENTIONED THAT SHE MIGHT HAVE A SLIGHT CASE OF THE DOWN
SYNDROME AND SENT HER FOR BLOOD WORK THAT CAME BACK UNFOUNDED REASONINGS. WHEN
WE WENT TO FIRST PED APPT SHE ADVISED ME THAT SHE WANTED AKIMA TO SEE A GENETIC
DR IN ORLANDO, WE WENT ON 11-02-00 AND HAD A TEST DONE AND FOUND OUT ON 11-14-00
THAT AKIMA HAD "MOSAIC TRISOMY 13".
12-2000 AKIMA STARTED HAVING "G.I." PROBLEMS AND FOUND OUT THE SHE HAD "MALROTATION
OF THE THE BOWELS" SHE WAS VOMITING POOP AND POOPING VOMIT IT WAS A SCARY
SITUATION FOR ME BEING ONLY 17 AT THE TIME (YES I WAS VERY YOUNG)
IN FEB 2001 SHE HAD "FRONTAL LOBE" SURGERY AND AKIMA STARTED PROGRESSING A
LITTLE FASTER AFTER THAT SHE STARTED TALKING (WHICH WOWED DRS)
AKIMA HAD 100'S OF DR APPT'S, THERAPIES, TESTS THAT WHOLE YEAR 04-02 I WANTED TO
GET MY OWN PLACE IN ORLANDO SO I GAVE TEMP CUSTODY TO MY MOTHER (BIG MISTAKE)
WHEN I CAME BACK (08-02) TO GET AKIMA SHE HAD A HEALING SKULL FRACTURE AND A
BROKEN LEG. SHE WAS A LITTLE UNDER FEED DUE TO G-MA LEAVING HER WITH GREAT G-MA
(75YR OLD) WHO ONLY FED AKIMA DRY TOAST AND MILK.
09-02 I TOOK AKIMA TO DR AND HE PASSED IT OFF LIKE IT DIDN'T MATTER THAT I
THOUGHT SHE WAS INJURED (I WAS VERY UPSET)
10-02 I PUT AKIMA AND HER BABY SISTER TO SLEEP , I LEFT HER WITH MY THEN
BOYFRIEND OF A YR TO WATCH THEM AS I RAN A QUICK ERRAND WHEN RETURNED
HOME(15MINS LATER) POLICE, FIRE AMBULANCE AND CHILD PROTECTION WAS AT MY HOME HE
SAID HE WAS TRYING TO PUT HER BACK TO SLEEP WHEN SHE SCREAMED & STARTLED HIM AND
HE DROPPED HER ON THE GLASS COFFEE TABLE THEY ESCORTED ME TO THE HOSPITAL AND
THEN REMOVED HER DUE TO MARK ON ENTIRE LEFT SIDE OF HEAD (NOSE TO BEHIND HER
EAR), THE SKULL FRACTURE, AND THE BROKEN LEG.
10-02 THRU 06-07AKIMA WAS BOUNCED AROUND FROM GROUP HOMES TO FOSTER HOMES ALL
WHICH USED HER DISABILITY AGAINST HER AND MADE HER DEPENDENT ON EVERYONE BUT
HERSELF. I FOUGHT TO GET HER HOME I DID EVERYTHING THEY ASKED ME TO FROM GOING
PARENTING CLASS TO GETTING A JOB THAT COULD PAY THE BILLS AND CARE FOR HER AND
HER SISTER THEN 4 YRS LATER I GOT A "GOOD" CASEWORKER THAT MADE IT ALL HAPPEN
SHE CAME HOME 06-19-2007 ONE WEEK AFTER MY 24TH BIRTHDAY AND TWO WEEKS AFTER I
HAD MY LAST BABY I WAS HAPPY AND TIRED ALL AT THE SAME TIME I WAS JUST HAPPY
THAT SHE WAS HOME
NOW HERE WE ARE TODAY HAPPY HEALTHY AND GRATEFUL TO GOD THAT WE HAVE MADE IT
THIS FAR .
