Bella Victoria Caballero

Bella Victoria was born on August,
2004 in Arizona to Elisa Reyes and Mario Caballero. Elisa had a normal pregnancy
and
delivered
naturally at the scheduled nine months. Bella developed normally reaching
all of her milestones with ease. At one year old she had crawled, standed without
help and walked. She was already saying her first words and she like to dance.
On November 22, 2005, when Bella was 16 months old, an
unimaginable misfortune fell upon them. Her mother was at work and she was
staying home with her babysitter and grandmother. Her father was working with
some workers at their home garage. In a split of a second Bella walked away
from her babysitter, walked through the garage door manage to pass her father
and the other men working
in it without being seen and
entered
their yard. At the yard she fell in the pool. She didn't know how to swim
and started to drown. By the time her grandmother and one of the workers spotted
her and pull her out, Bella was purple from the waist up and foam was coming
out of her mouth. The paramedics of the firestation that came at the call of
911 resuscitated her and took her in a coma to the Children Hospital. The doctors
told Elisa and Mario that
Bella would not make it pass the night.
However, Bella survived the night and after one week of
coma she started to react a little. When she waked up she would cry
without end. Her brain had been damage and did'nt know how to act.
After that, Bella has been through various hospitals, testings and
therapies with little results. They took her to Mexico to have craniosacral
therapy and afterwards they learned about Intensive Pediatric Therapy
in conjuction with the THERASUIT at Therapies 4 Kids and Hyperbaric
Oxygen Therapy at Ocean Neurologic Center. They decided to bring her
and provide her with both therapies. After Bella intensive therapies,
her parents reported that Bella was more relaxed, centered and was
starting to recognize them. For them all these changes are immense
and they are looking forward to go back to Florida to provide her
again with these much needed therapies.
