Prayers (warning: sad baby story)
This is not about my baby, it's my cousin, Jen. But, my heart is seriously breaking right now for my cousin and her baby girl.
She went into labor Friday, all seemed to be progressing naturally and perfectly. They discovered the cord was wrapped around the baby's neck and did an emergeny c-section. The baby was born with no vital signs. She was without oxygen for 5 min. They revived her and transferred her to a children's hospital across town. Jen was released Monday and finally able to see her baby girl. She's been on a ventilator, multiple monitors and tests every day. They had cooling pads on her to regulate her temp. They were able to remove those yesterday. This morning, I checked for an update. (They're out of town, and have been keeping a blog for updates.) After MRI and EEG results from yesterday, it appears she has very little brain activity. Her other organs have recovered well. I don't know what the time line is, but their latest update basically says they're going to have to make a decision about the life of this baby. I am devastated for them! I am also freaking out about my pregnancy/birth, which I know sounds selfish. Ugh, I just don't know what else to do but pray! This little baby needs a miracle!
