ugh - debbie downer

I posted yesterday in the randoms thread that my niece had a baby yesterday morning, the were sent home this morning (I don't know why).  my MIL just called and the baby died at home today.  they don't know what happened, they went to wake him up to feed him and he wasn't breathing, called 911 and they weren't able to save him. 

they live in NC, her parents are here in MA, they never even got to meet their grandson.  I just feel horrible for them, she had rough pregnancy and delivery I can't imagine why they sent them home so soon.  I just don't know what to say or do, I know nothing will make them feel better.

  • Oh no, that is so heartbreaking, I can't even imagine the grief. Im so sorry, Mashed.
  • That is so awful.  I can't even imagine how awful that is.  I remember being terrified to go to sleep the first day or two, lest he would just stop breathing for no reason and eventually I convinced sleep-deprived hormonal me that scenario was ridiculous.  Sad  It's just not supposed to work that way.
  • Oh my gosh, that's horrible. I'm so sorry mashed. :(
  • Oh my god that's so tragic. I am so sorry.

  • thanks guys.  I just don't understand why they were home already. she had him yesterday morning at 12:45, she had are diffiult delivery, they had to use a vacuum thing to get him out and he inhaled meconium.  you'd think they'd keep them more than a day.

    Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. Usually if a baby inhales meconium, it's an immediate trip to the NICU as it is cause for serious infections and is potentially fatal.

    I am so so sorry Mashed. 

    ETA: What hospital was this at? I want to make sure to avoid them if they're in my area.

  • her H is in the military, marines I think, so I assume it was a base hospital, but I don't really know.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman

    For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
  • I wish I hadn't opened this.

    What a tragedy. 

  • That is terribly sad. I can't believe the hospital would send them home so soon if there were complications. They must be heartbroken. :(

  • Mashed, I'm so sorry. That sounds like a shady hospital situation for sure. I've never heard of someone going home the next day. I could barely walk the next day, let alone go home.

    At any rate, that's just awful. I can't imagine.

  • I'm so sorry mashed. That's just tragic. Now I feel like an ass for my whine.
