| The OB told me that there were a lot of hydrops in Jordan's belly. he also said that Jordan had only scored 4 out of 8 on the test the tech had done. He told me to go home and pack a bag and get to U of M. Jeremy met me at home and we packed a bag and called the Drs at U of M. They told me right then over the phone...there is nothing we can do. They told me to come in the next morning so they could see what was happening. Jeeremy and I were so upset!! They lied to us. Why would they tell us to let them know right away as soon as the hydrops started when they weren't gonna do anything?That day and the next were so awful for Jeremy and I. We felt Jordan move for the last time in the morning before we headed to U of M. The doctors at U of M werent understanding at all! They pretty much told us that we should have known that this would happen. They took more pictures but Jordan was just sleeping and his heartbeat had slowed down so much. I asked one of the Doctors if they could take jordan by cesarean and if there was nothing they could do to help him then at least we would be able to hold our son and tell him we love him. The reply I got to that was, Oh yeah if you go a state over they still do terminations up to 28 weeks.. I didnt want to terminate!!! I wanted to hold my son and tell him he was going to be with Jesus and that his mommy and daddy loved him so much. And that we would miss him so much but we would see him again soon. I wanted to strangle that Doctor! She was one of the most uncaring and insensitive person i had ever met!Jeremy and I left then. That night i tried so hard to make Jordan move, but he couldn't. I know in my heart that he had already gone to be with Jesus. The next day after calling my OB's ofice all day , Dr. Takyi called me back around 5:30. I told him everything that had happened and that i hadnt felt Jordan move in over 24 hours. He told me to come in Monday morning for a non stress test and if there was no heartbeat then he would admit me and start inducing. He explained that we shouldinduce or i could get infections. So, we had to wait. Talk sbout feeling helpless. We dint even know for sure if our baby was alive or not. The one thing that i did know though was that our baby was safe and warm right inside of me. I tried really hard to stay calm and strong during that weekend, but i didnt do too well. I stayed on the phone with my family in Oklahoma most of the time. I dont know what i would have done without them and Jeremy. Monday morning we went to the dr.s office and there was no heartbeat. My heart broke in two that day. It already had been so hard and i already knew he was gone but when they told me for sure, it hurt so bad! He admitted me right away and started me on IV fluids because i was so dehydrated. The next mornig at 6 am they started inducing. One miracle did happen...My mom was able to fly right up on Monday to be with me. That was so great! I really needed her. She stayed by my sidethe whole time!43 hours after the first dose of the inducing medication Jordan was born. It was so great to hold my son. It was a very sad time because i wanted to see him open his eyes so bad! He looked like his daddy except he had my lips. He was the most beautiful baby i've ever seen. He weighed 2lbs 7 oz and was almost 16 inches long, and he had dark curly hair. We spent a lot of time with Jordan and took lots of pictures. Thank you for reading Jordan's story. | ||||||||||||||||
