| My husband and I were trying to have a baby for a year or so. I always kept telling myself that it would never happen. Then one day my prayers was answered and I saw a positive sign on the pregnancy test. A few months later I found out that I was pregnant with a boy and my husband and I came up with the name Wyatt. I was having a wonderful pregnancy with no problems at all until I was at 20 weeks along. All of a sudden my blood pressure started to going up and I was seeing the doctor every other week and that turn into every week. On May 20, 2006 I started to have sharp pains in my body. It was like it was a major muscle passim and nothing would cure the pain. My husband took me to the ER that night and they took me to the maternity floor and 3 hours later I was admitted into the hospital. They watch over me closely and ran all kinds of test on me and on May 21, 2006 I was told that I had pre-eclamsia. The baby's heart beat started to drop and they had to do a emergency c-section. One minute I am in a room with all of these people running around like they lost their heads and the next minute I wake up and I see my baby in a incubator next to me. They let me see him for a second and they rushed him to a children's hospital in downtown. I stayed in the hospital for three days and when I was released I was up at the children's hospital everyday and on May26, 2006 we lost Wyatt. He had blood on the brain and the only thing that kept him alive was a machine and medicine. He was beautiful and was loved by everybody. At first I didn't want to try again, but I started to think and I want to try again. There is plenty of women that go threw this and they have a beautiful second try. That gives me hope everyday!!!!!!! |
