Preeclampsia Horror
You might have taken notice I've been MIA for the past couple weeks and haven't updated since twenty-seven weeks. Well, if you don't know through Facebook already, Ninja (aka Ryken) is here! I apparently got randomly selected against my wishes by the pregnancy gods to develop a disease called Preeclampsia causing me to give birth to my sweet boy at only 29 weeks and 1 day. Which is any first time or hell ANY time mother's nightmare, hearing your baby isn't going to make it full term and in order for you and him both to make it out on the other end safely he has to be delivered premature and then be prayed over for a smooth continued maturing (which he should be still doing in my uterus) in the NICU at your hospital for who knows how long. Needless to say this has been THE HARDEST hurdle I've ever had to deal with and hope to overcome in my entire life. Thank god Ryken seems to be doing so well each and every day of the now ten days he's had to spend in his little incubator he has improved and improved. I thank god for all the overwhelming support and prayers my little guy has received from SO many people, not only from my family as well as Adam's but from both of our friends and even from people I haven't even really been in touch with for months. All of you know please, from the bottom of my heart, how unbelievably grateful I am, thank you. Along with that I also have to express my overflowing amount of gratitude I have toward each and every single one of his amazing nurses and doctors he has had so far, they are all literally miracle workers and I have been NOTHING short of amazed and satisfied with the care that he has been receiving. If I'm not there when the doctor does her daily rounds she makes it a point to call me to let me know his updates for the day and to reassure me that he is still doing such a fantastic job. I am so lucky to have the team I have working with him and I don't know how I will ever have the ability to repay them for the love and care they are giving my baby. With that being said, I will post a different post going into better detail of the path that led us to this abrupt halt in my pregnancy and this miracle baby boy we now have.
