Hola a todas

Posted On Monday, November 22, 2010  by

Hola a todas, les contare mi historia, tenia 27 semanas y cuatro días de gestación, cuando empezó mi calvario, me desembarazaron porque mi presión arterial se altero, ademas que empece con un cuadro de infección urinaria, descenso de plaquetas, en fin un cuadro terrible, el cual conlleva a la remisión a urgencias, y a que los médicos decidan desembarazarme, y me diagnóstican preclampsia Help 1, el médico que me atiende de alto riesgo enfatiza en que va  a tratar de salvar mi vida y la de  mi bebe, me realizan una cesárea, y esta dura no mas de una hora, después aparezco en una habitación de cuidados intensivos y mi bebe en una incubadora; permanezco en UCI durante tres días, y el bebe aun luchando por sobrevivir, al quinto día me dan de alta, y mi bebe aun en la incubadora, los médicos de pediatría me dicen que el empieza un cuadro de insuficiencia renal y problemas en su corazón, y me dicen que lo operaran y que el riesgo de muerte es muy alto. El muere a las 9 P.M.. El dolor de perder un hijo es la prueba mas dura que me ha tocado, pero con todo esto le doy gracias a Dios, porque en este momento me encuentro bien de salud, se me estabilizo la presión y ya no uso medicamentos por orientación medica, me han hecho diferentes pruebas medicas y estoy completamente sana, por sugerencia medica debo esperar tres años de los cuales ya pasó un año y medio, y empezare tratamiento para volver a concebir un bebe. A todas las mujeres que lean  estas letras les digo que animo y que se realicen antes de un embarazo los exámenes previos y no pasen por este proceso tan doloroso.


de ustedes,

Vicky Liney Córdoba Sanchez.

Translation: Hello Everyone- I want to tell all of you my story. I was at 27 weeks and four days when my difficulty began.  They induced me because of my high arterial pressure, and likewise developed a urinary infection, loss of platelets, overall a terrible picture, which ended with a referral to urgent care, where the doctors decided to induce me.  They diagnosed me with preeclampsia and HELLP 1 and the high risk physician told me that he would try to save my life and that of my baby.  I had a casaerean, which took no more than an hour, after which I was brought to an intensive care room and my baby was put in an incubator.  I remained in the ICU for three more days and my baby fought to survive.  On the fifth day they released me, though my baby was still in the incubator, and the pediatric doctors told me that he had began to show signs of insufficient renal function and problems with the heart.  They told me that they were going to operate and that the risk of death was very high.  He died at 9 PM.  The pain of the loss of a son is the hardest test that I have experienced, but with everything I give thanks to the Lord, because at this moment I have good health: they have stabilized my blood pressure and I no longer use medicine for it.  I have had different medical test and am completely healthy, and by medical suggestion should wait three years before trying again.  Already a year and a half has passed and I have begun treatment in order to conceive a baby.   To all the mothers that read these letters, I would tell them to have examinations before (and during) pregnancy and that they would not have to go through such a painful process.
