Well our daughter is here almost 6 weeks too soon! I came in for a routine NST Saturday morning and they had just put me on the monitor and all the sudden the nurse ran out and came back with like 6 more nurses and the anthesiaologist. One minute I was dressed the next I wasn't and getting a IV and signing consent forms for a C-Section. I guess her heart rate went from 143 to 60 in like 2 secs. It was crazy! They took me into the operating room at 12:28 and she was here at 1:05 weighing in at only 4 lbs 6 oz and 16 inches long. She had only gained 6 oz in 2 1/2 weeks so it was a good thing they took her! I guess the cord was around her neck thats the only thing my dr could figure for the drop. I got to see her for a sec then they took her downstairs to work her over and they found out what the mass in her cord was- it was part of her intestines so while i was in recovery they were working on transport to Primary Childrens and they were here within and hour and a half. I got to see her for about 15 minutes before they took her, it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life to say goodbye to my sweet baby girl but her Daddy got to ride with her and has been with her ever since. She had surgery at about 10 pm last night to put the little bit of intestines back in her body and now she is doing great! They told my husband she should be home in about 7-10 days so hopefully! I will be discharged Tuesday morning and will be heading straight up there to be with my daughter. Thank you to all of you who have fasted and prayed we really appreciate all the support!
We love you,
John, Whit, Lil' Dale and Makaelynn
