She did not realize that it was contractions when the cramps persisted her husband, rushed to her side and took her to the hospital they arrived at. The nationwide children’s hospital in columbus, ohio like every expecting mother and father when there are complications with a pregnancy, their hearts were distraught, but at least now they were at a place where experienced.

Doctors and nurses could help the pregnancy could not be kept back and the little boy was born by cesarean section.

Can you even imagine this message being delivered to your ears? This is exactly what the doctors told, ben and lindsey miller, that day a few hours after the delivery, little baby wade was still alive.

In the back of your mind, you must wonder if you will ever hold the baby, what, if your son dies before you could hold him and tell him that you loved him already.

It was at this stage that benjamin decided to start making a video diary of wade’s life. They did not know how much time he had to live, but they were hopeful and decided that if he would survive, they would need to document his fight for life all along the way.

Everything that was happening was totally out of their control. Fortunately, the bleeding did not grow, but it was slowly absorbed by the brain and did not. Reoccur wade remained a very small baby. Full of life support tubes, but he was fighting with monitors, beeping all the time and his little eyes covered most of the time. They would clear his lungs from any buildup as his little body could not do this on its own.

His mother spent all her days in the hospital and with the assistance of nurses held, the men spoke to him as much as she was allowed to. When he slept in the incubator, she would sit at his side praying and talking to him.
