Lifes little slices - November 2008

Our new baby died! a little morbid

November 17th 2008 16:56

This was right before little Arabella passed away. It was a perfect pregnancy until the 8th month. Kaitlyn was seeing the dr every two weeks. In a matter of two weeks, from one visit to the next, everything went wrong. Kaitlyn developed preclamsia. The symptoms mirror pregnancy symptons so we couldn't know. That does not stop me from blaiming myself. Atleast I jsut have that one death on my shoulders, because Kaitlyn could have easily died too. They say she had the worst case they had ever seen. My friends and everyone tells me I can't blaim myself because she looked perfectly fine except for swelling which is normal. I even have a pic to share, of her a week before the baby had to be taken c section, to save Kaites life. She looker healthy and fine. We hyad an uiltrasound at 6 months and the babies brain was fine, then at this 8th month Ultra sound, the baby had brain swrinkage. They say the baby was himriging inside of Kaitlyn. She was born weighing 4lbs 3 ozes, they air lifted her to Pittsburgh after giving her blood. They thought she would be ok. We watched them fly away with her and then got something to eat, smiling and telling everyone about her being born. We went and bought pink balloons and a huge stork and were putting it on our fence when the call came and I remember this shreik comming out of me that was not normal. They said she was dying and to get there as fast as we could so we could say goodbye. We NEVER even got to hold her alive. I got live videos though and even caughter her cooing. Seems she had a virus. We should find out what it was tomarow. This all just happened October 10th. She was due November 3rd. I think we're still in shock.

She looked sooo healthy here!! I still can't believe she is dead. I have her ashes though.

This was the first time Kaitlyn got to hold her, and she had already been dead about 3 hours. They had to put Arabella in an incubater, give her blood and rush her 45 minutes away from the hospital by helicopter. Kaitlyns dr had her rushed by ambulance so Kaitlyn could hold her, but they had to take care of Kaitlyn first. If tehy new about her brain sringage and knew she was going to die, they would have sent her sooner.

Chris stood with me and said goodbye while they breathed for her. It felt like a movie. I've always hear people say that but you can NEVER know until you are there. I felt like we were watching this happen to someone else. It still doesn't feel totally real.

Right before she was airlifted and almost the last time we'd see her alive. Well it sorta was the last time, because the next time, they were breathing for her.
