My wife was complaining about pain late night/early morning on tuesday.  We thought it was just the usual pains associated with being pregnant.  So I told her to do a couple moves that are supposed to help.  Shortly after she yells from the bathroom that theres blood.  We call the doctor and head off to the hospital.  Once admitted she gets treated for being dehydrated and gets checked up on.  Nothing too out of the normal baby seems fine, etc.  They continue with fluids and then start to take blood.  My wife gets back from the bathroom and lays back down.  A nurse comes in saying the babys heart rate is low and tries adjusting her monitor thats strapped her to belly.  In about the blink of an eye she yells out "CODE GREEN!" and about 50 nurses run in, adjust my wife and whisk her out of the room.  Emergency c-section, deliver the baby.  I kid you not, they would put a nascar pit crew to shame.  I blinked and my wife was gone and I was in the room by myself...  hoping that I didnt lose them both.  We found out that the placenta had detatched and was bleeding within itself so between that and drawing blood, my wifes blood levels were dangerously low.

Valerie 32 weeks, 6 days.  4 lbs 10 oz.





Right now everything seems fine with the exception of her lungs.  Shes not oxygenating properly so they have her on a pulsing breathing machine, but they were able to dial her assisted oxygen back to 21% which is ambient oxygen levels... but its still forcing air into her lungs. In doing that they have to sedate her to keep her calm and not to to fight and breathe on her own.  Which is tough for mom because she cant talk to her or be near her and she picks up on her scent and sound and gets excited and heart rates increase.   Based on the tests tomorrow they might take her off that and just use a normal respirator and make her breathe on her own....

I havent told my wife... but I just feel helpless.  It was one of my biggest fears that my child have any type of complication.    Just trying to stay strong and support her through this.  Between the stress and her recovery she needs me to be there and get all the information to relay to family and friends. 

Just hoping for the best.

Prayers go out to you and the family..!!!

Some friends of ours just had there little boy a little over 9 weeks early. Was in the hospital for near three weeks.
He is now 6 months and healthy as a clam!

So needless to say, stay strong and you will all make it through this! I'm not sure if she is your first or not, but welcome to parenthood! And the stressful every second of worries.
