Everett's Story

Sarah and I experienced a miscarriage at 10 weeks after several months of trying .   After a DNC procedure we began trying again without any luck .  Eventually we ended up doing several fertility treatments that were not working .  IVF became our last option .  It was a long process but it worked !  We met Everett for the first time at the 6 week ultrasound.      The flicker of his little heart was a day I will never forget .   Fast forward to 24 weeks we had a echocardiogram that found a restriction in an artery in his heart that if did not improve ,  would end in heart failure.   The medical team made some medication adjustments and diet restrictions and we closely monitored Everett twice a week for a month or more .  Each appointment it improved to the point we were cleared to not need any further echocardiograms but still went in every week for a biophysical ultrasound.  Each week we got to see little buddy and he was growing and thriving .  At 39 weeks we were scheduled to have him induced .  On Monday 2/13/2017 we went in for our final ultrasound to learn there was no heartbeat. Everett was moving and kicking the night before .  Nothing was out of the ordinary .  It was a complete shock and on that day our world changed forever .  Later that evening he was delivered via cesarean section.  Everett was 7lbs 15oz .  He was the most perfect little boy I ever saw .  On that day a piece of our hearts and souls went to heaven with him .  I still wake up most days wondering if this is still real life .
