6 AM :Please pray for me.... I am scared! I just wanna get this over with and
come home to my baby boy that I love and need to finish raising.
7 AM: Just
received a call from DR. Y ... she called to make sure that everything
was a go for this morning.. IT IS NOT. Hospital R is now saying the
situation needs to be
ethically reviewed, and the only lady that is on the board is on
vacation. The person they left in charge will not make the decision
either way because he feels that he is not qualified to make it. Dr.Y is
pushing for him to make the decision because he was left in charge. I am besides my self. This is
crazy talk about making a person feel horrible because they choose to terminate. I am about
ready to sue for pain and suffering.
8 AM:
At Hospital R for an ultra sound to make sure if the baby still has a
heart beat, and she does. We are going back home to wait for the
decision.
4PM: Hospital
R is refusing to do the procedure. They are giving the same reasons why
they will not do it that the Catholic hospital did. Dr. Y suggests that
we call the University hospital up north to see if they will do the
procedure. I am not comfortable going up north, I
have had a c-section and I could hemorrhage because of this and I am NOT
being 2 hours away from my son if I need to say goodbye. I am going to call them anyways to see what they have to say.
4:30 PM: I
just got off the phone with the termination specialist. She stated that
we have 3 choices and all the risks for my health would be the same
with them all.. 1. We could do a D&E. She described the procedure
and it is horrible. They wrench open your cervix and vacuum the baby
out. If the baby does not come out in one piece they have to surgically
cut the baby. My response to this was that my baby was still alive and I
thought that was beyond cruel. She them let me know that we could come
in the day before where they would stick a needle threw my belly and
into the baby to stop the heart. ( OPTION OUT) 2. They could induce
labor. 3. Wait till the baby suffocated by clamping its own cord or I
went into labor.
After
speaking with her I did not feel comfortable with her. I was just
another medical file placed on her desk. I felt like she had detached
her self from feeling and she was ultimately a death dealer. I let her
know that we would not be terminating.
We have decided to let nature run its course and not go up north for a
D&E or induction. If I get to "full term" we will do a C section. I
just want to tell everyone THANK YOU for helping us or praying for
us this week.
8PM: After a long process of
thinking that we are in control I just could not ignore the road blocks
that God kept putting up. I am throwing my hands up he has a plan and I
jut need to sit back and role with the punches. I am at peace that
ultimately the baby can not survive. I know that if we do the procedure
today, tomorrow, or wait for the c section it still will be a hard
process. Life is very short and we never know if we will get 1 day or
the next 30 years. I plan on enjoying my family and living life to the
fullest with my blessing of a baby boy. ( As I am typing now he is
hiding in the curtain digging into a treat bag trying to be sneaky
,like I have no clue what is going on).This was all meant to happen for a
reason. I will survive this life changing event and hopefully move on ,
but never forget or be the same.
