I apologize for not keeping you updated. My wife developed complications in her eigth month of pregnancy and had to be hospitalized for constant monitoring of her and the baby. It was all so unexpected and we had no idea what happened or why it happened. It happened all so quickly. We were coasting thru' the pregnancy with no problems whatsoever. She went for a routine checkup one day and everthing seemed fine. It was when her OB/GYN checked her blood pressure and said that it was very high. She was asked to lie down for a while and her blood pressure was checked again. It was still high and they were extremely concerned. They told us to immediately go to the hospital and check into it for monitoring. We were shell shocked. They wouldn't tell us how long we had to be in the hospital or if the baby was OK or what was going to happen to the pregnancy.
She was allowed to go home after a few days. But the very next day she developed more complications and had to be rushed back to the hospital.I had to spend all my time in the hospital with her. The doctors gave me no assurance and for a while it looked real scary. Nobody was sure of what the outcome was going to be. Those were some horrendous times. Her blood pressure continued to fluctuate and there was constant fetal monitoring and ultrasounds. The hospital does not have a facility for patients or their family to use their internet. I had no access to the internet to even research her condition.It is called Pre-eclampsia and it is extemely dangerous and progresses so very rapidly. Finally,she underwent an emergency c-section and by the Grace of God, she delivered a baby boy. The baby had to taken to the NICU. Anybody who has had to have a newborn in NICU, knows the agony and sheer helplessness that parents go through. It is extremely agonizing to see your newborn in an incubator with oxygen being pumped in and being hooked up to monitors that measure the respiration rate, oxygen intake, pulse rate etc. I wished I could somehow transfer my health, my breath and my life to the helpless, innocent baby lying in the incubator. I am sorry I could not update you all on this but I was in no mental state for that.
Please pray for my family that we will be able to get through this. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you all and will refund your money for all who want their orders cancelled. Please email me your order and money sent. For those of you kind enough to be patient, I will be working on my orders from this week.
Thanks
Ledean
