Mysteries Revealed!!!
…deep breath. Not to worry things are good.. there’s just a lot of info to get out and I wanna make sure that I get it correct. Lets start at the beginning of things. At 1am in the morning on the 13th of Nov Lindsay was yanked out of sleep by sharp pains and her body told her it’s time to give birth. That morning Ayden arrived in our world. What we just learned is that the reason this happened is because the placenta had an infection (chorioamnionitis) within it. So the body said hey… this is bad, it’s makin mom sick and makin’ baby sick. So out came Ayden. Now as a result the infection passed on to little Ayden. So not only did he have to deal with being born premature and having to survive with organs and parts that were not...
Nov 19th Updates
I like days when we only get a little news… seems like every single time it comes to finding out how he’s doing my tummy flips because what if there’s bad news today. uuugh… So what did we learn today… 1. His electrolites are low… I guess his sodium specifically is lower than it’s been so they’re gonna monitor that… 2. They would like it if he would urinate a little more… they wanna make sure the kidneys are still operating fine. 3. They fed him at 4pm and were going to try again at 8pm tonight. We’ll find out tomorrow if his food stayed down. So tomorrow we meet with the Dr and I must admit – we’re sooooooo nervous. uuugh I’m sure it’ll be fine after but my tummy is doing...
7 Days Blessed With A Son
Hiya gang, So it’s been 7 days now that the little guy has been with us. Can you believe it… 7 days… it was just back on Nov 6th that Lindsay went into the hospital.. Then on that fateful night/morning… she gave birth to a 790g boy. Well today he’s lost a little weight, coming in at 660g. He is still breathing on his own, his heart came back strong and well, so that test is a victory. The 2nd ultrasound of his head did show that the bleeding hasn’t gotten worse but is still fairly severe. Now we did have time to talk to the Dr and there are procedures in place that they didn’t tell us about before… so shame on you Dr Zikar. I’ll get into those procedures more after we talk with Dr Fusch on Thursday. Other...
26 Weeks Today!!
So today marks the 26th week in Aydens development. Last night I went down with Lindsay Oma, and Aunt Tory. It was a great visit! As a result Lindsay and I slept through the whole night… ya I know she forgot to get up and pump – but she must have needed it. So I’m sure you’d all like some good news. Well lets see.. the scans of Aydens Heart came back to show no problems – it’s a strong little heart. His lungs are just trucking away breathing. This tube you see in the image. (My favorite to date) is just some humidity and some oxygen.. otherwise he’s doing all the work. Dr Zikar was there last night – the Dr that gave us the bad news with Aydens brain bleed. And We chatted and it was good. Last time we talked...
Another Day
Well Yesterday was hands down the worst day in my life. I’ll totally admit that I lost it. I totally balled. And Lindsay and I just held each other and wondered why is the world picking on us.. why did we have to fight so hard to have a child and then to have it born premature we know we risk losing him.. but this news was just kicking us when we were down. The idea that bleeding in Ayden’s head could cause him something very serious, was devestating. So I did the only thing I could do – I prayed. I haven’t honestly prayed in a very long time. There are days where I wonder if there really is a god out there. Maybe thats why this is happening maybe I’m being punished for a lack of faith. But if that’s the case then that’s...
