Right now is a really sad time for my family. Around 3 CST this afternoon, my cousin called and said that she had some bad news from her doctor and had to be taken to the hospital. She and her family live in Oklahoma and I live in TN so i couldn't get there in time to meet her at the hospital. She was 5 months pregnant, and at a time when the baby (it was a little girl) was supposed to weight at least 2lbs...it only weighed 8 ounces. They said that it had started loosing weight for some reason. My cousin went in this morning with her husband for what was supposed to be a routine ultrasound at the doctors office, she had no complications before this aside from knowing the baby was underweight (she had been taking the proper vitamines and eating right) . The doctor alerted her that the baby was not gaining weight and had actually lost a significant amount of weight due to problems with the placenta and the fluid. He advised her that she needed to be admited to the hospital ASAP to recieve steroids for the best chance to try and streanghten the babys lungs so that they could preform an emergency c-section within the next two days and deliever the baby early. They said that was the best chance for the baby's survival. When she got to the hospital- they saw that the baby was in worse shape than they had thought- they gave my cousin the steroids for the baby's lungs and preformed an emergency C-section. The baby was alive when it was it was delivered...they laid her on my cousin's chest for her and her husband to see and then as fast as she came into this world..she was gone. She died in her parents arms. Please pray for my family- everyone is devistated. My cousin has two other children- Zach (10) and Breanna (8) from a previous marriage.They were really excited about having a little sister- now someone is going to have to explaine to them that their little sister is in heaven and won't be comming home. My cousin has only been married to her new husband a year and a half- he has adopted her children and this would have been his first biological child. They are all devistated. They had the nursery and everything ready..../ Please send some vibes and prayers out to her children- they don't know the baby didn't make it yet..... My cousin's name is Christie- and her husband is Clayton- please keep them in your prayers. I can't think of a more devistating thing than going in for a routine check up one minute thinking your baby is alright and then loosing your baby a few hours later. I'm at least glad that they got to say goodbye to her and see her before she passed away. I think it would have been worse had they not seen her.They named her Savannnah Renae. They took her footprints and fingerprints and a picture of her. They are allowing the hospital to do tests on her to see why she passed away and if Christie will be able to have any more children. To make matters worse- My cousin, just like me, is a florist- She works at a flowershop in Oklahoma that her ex. MIL owns
(they're very close to each other) -It is the only flower shop in town, so that means our family and extended family will have to do Savannah's funeral...That's going to make it even harder. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. My aunt is driving to Oklahoma as i'm typing this to go see them. We are all devistated.
