ALRIGHTY, SO YESTERDAY I GET A CALL FROM MY SISTER WHO HAPPENS TO BE PREGO, DUE IN JUNE SAYING THAT HER AMNIO FLUID IS DEPLETED, & THE MD SAID HE'D HAVE TO DELIVERY NOW!!!(3 WEEKS EARLY)
THE PLAN WAS INDUCTION???????

ANYHOW, I HURRY TO GO THERE TO SUPPORT MY SISTER, ON THE WAY, GET A PHONE CALL, BABIES HEART RATE DROPPED, IN FOR EMERGENCY C-SECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VERY UPSETTING, VERY NERVE RACKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M ON THE ROAD & CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR HER, HER HUSBAND, MY MOM'S A ANXIETY HEAD AS IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO I FINALLY GET THERE, BABY ALREADY BORN, ARRESTED A FEW TIMES IN THE O.R. SO THEY INTIBATED HER!!!!!!!!

SINCE MY HOMETOWN HOSPITAL ISN'T FIT FOR THESE SITUATIONS, THEY SHIPPED HERE OUT TO A SPECIALITY HOSPITAL....
POOR SIS HAS TO SIT & RECOVER WITHOUT HAVING BABY WITH HER....

SHE'S FEELING ALL GUILTY ETC, ETC,
I REASSURED HER BUT DIDN'T HELP MUCH..
BABY IS STILL IN THE NICU, THEY SAID IT COULD BE UP TO 6 WEEKS, BUT SINCE SHE WAS ONLY 3 WEEKS EARLY & WEIGHED 4LBS 5OZ, I'M HOPING & PRAYING IT'LL GO ALOT FASTER...

IT SUCKS CAUSE NOBODY CAN VISIT THE BABY EXCEPT PARENTS....
PLEASE PRAY FOR MY BABY NEICE SOPHIA.'

OK, MY WOW MOMENT, I HAVEN'T SEEN MY GOOD FRIEND FROM ELEMENTARY, SINCE LAST SUMMER, & I RUN INTO HER AT THE FLOWER SHOP!!!
SHE KNEW I HAD THE SURGERY BUT HER EXPRESSION ON HER FACE WAS UNFORGETABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT REALLY BROUGHT UP MY SPIRITS!!!!!!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I am sorry to hear that your sister had to go through that. May Allah make it easy for her and her baby and grant Sophia shif'a inshallah. I can totally relat to the guilt your sister is feeling and being without her baby because that is what happened with AbdulKarim (my son). If you need anything please let me know Congrats on the Wow! You must have felt awesome. Prayers going out to you and your family (((HUGS))

My last daughter was born 6 weeks early via c-section. I was induced early for various reasons and my daughters heart beat dropped. They had to do an emergency c-section. I was beside myself. I was told later that she was blue, not breathing when she came out and they had to revive her! She spent twenty days in the NICU and we were 2 to 3 hours away! I went every day! The doctors said she would be in the NICU longer but she wasn't. They always state the worst, so you will not get your hopes up. In addition it takes a baby twice as long as to develop outside the womb. For instance in the last six weeks of pregnancy they develop the flap in there throat that stops the food/acid from coming back up. It took my daughter a whole year out of the womb to grow it (acid reflex). She is doing great now. They will give your sister a corrective age for her daughter and go by that for the babies development.

Hang in there everything will be fine. It is scary and you feel as if you have no control. The most important thing is your sister has your support. Do not underestimate that!

Thank You All!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes Sharing My Emotions With My Second Family Helps Me More Than Anything!!!!!!!!!!!

Esha,
I Did Remind My Sis That It Could Be A Lot Worse, & To Thank God For What He's Given...

She Doesn't See That Now Though,,,

Update!!!!

They Took Her Off The Ventil;ator At 10 Am & She's Holding Her Own Right Now..
Something Going On With Her Abdomen Being Distented Though...
I Was Wondering If She Was Drinking The Amnio Fluid, & That Has Something To Do With It?????

She's Moving Her Bowels & Urine, So That's Great!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks For All Your Prayers!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol,
