Thanks everyone, baby Hunter is still with us, he has zero brain activity and machines are breathing for him, my sil was able to get outta the hospital yesterday to see him as she had only seen him for about 30 seconds b4 he was life flighted to nicu, all the docs say there is no hope as there is no brain activity at all so they have discussed with my bro n sil about organ donation ect but sil isn't ready to pull the plug just yet........I seen Hunter right after surgery when he was born and he looked decent, they were breathing for him but he looked ok, now he looks terrible and I just want him to be at peace! I believe in miracles but I know its just not happening this time!
Very sorry they have to make difficult decisions like that. Seeing your baby fighting to hang on is an indiscribable feeling. We had 53 precious hours with our son before he passed, but that last hour was nothing i'd want anyone to go through. Regarding the funeral home..alot are free you just need to call and ask. They don't like making $ from infant deaths. All we paid was the urn, they even did flowers for our service.
Im very sorry. May I ask how that came to be? The placenta tearing from the uterus? Poor sweet baby, my deepest & sincere condolences to your brother & sil
Ask your nicu nurses about local companies. Or when my neice was taken off life support one of the l&d nurses was a professional photographer so she documented Raine's passing as a favor
I know this is very hard for them. I know a women who this happened to in feb. I think they have a webpage ellas gift. However I also no the importance of organ donors. I know a.6 month old who recently had a heart transplant. The first heart that matched hers was not in good condition because the baby was on so many medications to keep he/she alive. God bless them and baby hunter!
@LolasBabyNum1 yes the placenta tore from the uterus, the nicu docs said it was so hard on Hunter because the placenta totally tore there was no attatchment at all! I cant say i know why there is no brain activity but from what i gather it is because of the lack of oxygen to the baby! This is so terrifying to me because it happened to my aunt as well, but my cousin was lucky and has not long term damage and is now 13.....im almost afraid to roll over at night for fear it will happen to me since a tear was discovered @ 8 weeks on me....im now 32 weeks but its crazy because everyone considered me the higher risk one cuz of the tear, vbac and my age, and then this happens to my sil whos healthy young !! @everyone thank you so much for the prayers, they really need them right now! i appreciate all the advise and well wishes!! i will keep all of you updated, i know she was allowed to hold Hunter for the first time last night and will be doing another brain scan per the parents request,they also took him off the heart meds....but as of now thats all i know..thank you all again---Michelle
@mgrose I know your SIL. I'm glad Chelsea started the facebook page, that's how I put these two together. I am so sorry you are all going through this right now.
Update they will be pulling Hunter off the ventilator around 7pm Ohio time.....we r just here n holding him until the end...thank u for all the prayers and support
