Walk Chair Story

At 30 weeks gestation, after visiting the doctors office several times the ultrasonographer stated Logan wasn't getting all of her grits and eggs. I asked, "What does that mean"? The confession was that Logan was not getting adequate oxygen flow through the umbilical cord(although the umbilical cord was flowing properly without any knots detected) and she would have to be delivered within 48 hours. I was finally admitted as a patient for delivery. Having preeclampsia, they never considered taking a closer look at the placenta(mother to child lifeline). After being asked to self administer NS, they proceeded with an electronic NST then moved forward with administering 2 corticosteroid shots over 48 hrs and also pitocin(used for inducing a delivery). I understood the purpose for the steroid shots to assist with maturation of her lungs, but questioned the pitocin because it is used to force delivery and they sent me home afterwards. The very next day I had a full placental abruption in my home. The PAIN and BLOOD loss from this was immeasurable. The emergency c-section took place and Logan was able to be resuscitated. The doctors stated she would not make it past a month due to her oxygen deprivation. While Logan was in utero, she struggled to survive(oxygen deprived) and made it very clear to doctors that she wasn't getting adequate oxygen. Logan spent 8 months in NICU and was released a couple of days before Christmas due to depleted insurance coverage and doctors stating there was nothing else they could do. Logan passed shortly after being released from NICU.
