Well my son was born last night. LaKota Madrox is finally here, but he came too early! God is testing me, and I need to stay strong for my son so please keep us in your prayers.LaKota was born at 27 weeks. I started haveing contractions March 10th, and dialated to 3cm before the doctors stopped the contractions. LaKota's heart rate was very low, so low the doctors almost thought they couldn't find it. My amniotic fluid was runing low too, and my health was hindering too.I didn't care too much about my health my main concern was my son & his health.My neighbor friend Di has helped me out alot, she picked me up from my family doctor's office and drove me to the hospital.(thank goodness too the helicopter was on a 2-3 hour delay because of a snow storm and the ambulances were all dispatched with an hour wait.---Di got to me within 15minutes of calling her, and she had already aranged a police esscort out of town. She got me to the hospital safely in 20min. and it is an hour and 15 min trip doing the speed limit.--at least I know Di can get me to the hospital ALOT faster than the ambulance can.) I am thankfull for my friend Di she kept my family and my special friend Sherry from here posted on my health and LaKota's. Di came to visit me after work and brought the laptop so I could try to update everyone, but Im now getting time to do so.Shortly after Di left I went back into labor at 8pm the doctor tried to stop it again but at 9:15pm my son insisted he had to come out & contractions started all over again. The Nurse said she called Di to come back, but she didnt get back in time,because at 10:53pm on March 11th my son LaKota Madrox was born. LaKota's heart stopped 3 times, and is still very slow. LaKota is 17.5 inches long 3lbs 11oz. I am being told he is a miricale, but a bigger miricale will be if he can pull thru.The doctors said the next 72 hours are very critical for him, and if he can make it his survival chances will be closer to 45% chance of survival. Di showed up as they were rushing LK to the NICU.She is going to stay by my side and help me contact friends and family.Please keep my son in your prayers. We (but mostly HE) needs all your prayers.My angel needs all the prayers he can get, his life has been left in Gods hands now, the doctors said there isnt much more they can do for him. Please keep my son in your prayers,please. I haven't even been able to hold LK yet, he is in an incubater hooked to many monitors, and tubes. I start to cry every time I havve to look at my son. I feel like its my fault some how. The Doctors and nurses keep reassuring me that it isn't my fault but, as a mother a part of me still feels some how it is my fault.

I will keep everyone informed and updated as often as I can. I am being told that this will be a long process...mostly alot of waiting and praying.I am trying to be optimistic,it is just very hard, seeing my son in the incubater.Please pray for my family.

Thank you for reading this, thanks in advance for prayers for LK, he really really needs them.

Hello there!!!! I know that the economy is horrible right now but it is just too cold for little ones to be without winterwear this holiday. I am writing to let people know that I sell baby beanies, cocoons, and mittens (especially for newborn babies) at very inexpensive prices. These items are handknitted by me. Most items in my store are only $3. I sell my items inexpensive because I want babies and children to be warm and comfortable. Being a Pediatric nurse, I see alot of babies suffering from pneumonia and hypothermia.

Adoruhbulcreations.etsy.com is my store link.

The Sacramento Resource Directory updates the entire database each year. Far too often people post health information on webpages and do not make sure the content is accurate and current. This creates a greater frustration to those needing help. We call each resource annually, and when we cannot reach someone by phone, then one of us go to the resource and confirm the information.

If you are seeking assistance with the County of Sacramento, then please use the database>> online to locate the resources you need. If you want to call in, please feel free to use the information in the Contact Us>> page. On weekends and holidays a HIPAA Advanced Certified volunteer working from home will answer or return your call.

If you are someone posting information on AidPage about health services in Sacramento, then please update your content for accuracy because we have heard to many concerns about health information that is outdated and incomplete.

Hi,

I have a three month old baby and haven't worked because I lost a goo d job right before I became pregnant unexpectedly.  The father of my baby is trying to take custody.

He has money and will not help as he is angry with me for ending an abusive relationship  I only need to get back on my feet.  I need money for legal and rental...as he has stopped paying my rent in an attempt to take the baby.

I will pay back little by little or as soon as a job comes through. 

Please help as I don't know what to do and God bless...also prayers please.  Thank you.

I am a recently single mother of three small boys (ages 4,3, and 1) who is also pregnant with another boy due April 15th. Since becoming completely on my own in caring for my children, whose father was abusive and is now in prison, I have been struggling severely. I don't want us to be separated, and I am in dire need of any help that can be provided. I am not able to work at this time due to the pregnancy, and desperately need baby items and any financial help that one can spare. Thank you.

I am desperately needing boy baby newborn clothes.  My due date is 11/18/2006.  I just lost my job and we are living on a fixed income.  I have 2 other children to feed and clothe.  A girl who will be 4 in Sept. and a boy who will be 3 in Sept.  Please mail the baby clothes to me at:
