Little update guys after we had got all excited and had everything planned out it turns out there was just an ambiotic sack that was growing after her 3rd ultrasound there was no heartbeat and never a baby.
Ive been up since about 4am I am just kinda stressed out and upset don't know what to do she went in this morning at 6 for surgery to remove it as per the doctors recomendation.guess im just having a hard time with it.....
Thats terrible... My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
At least there wasnt an actual baby in the first place that died...
This is true but it is still quite humbling for us.
i am sorry to hear that... you can always try again. ive been thru hell myself as far as having a family.
That blows man. Tough break. Hope everything goes well.
I hope this doesn’t sound heartless, it’s meant to help restore faith, not make light of the situation.
This thought/attitude sometimes help’s me when terrible things happen.
“If there wasn’t the negative in our lives, the positive would have less or no meaning.”
What I mean by this is when the time does come and you have your child, it will mean Sooo much more to you due to this experience. Like those that go through near death experiences, after words life has so much more meaning, cloud’s are fluffier, the sun shines brighter, and each and every day is a blessing. Where before that, each day was just “oh hum, another day I HAVE to go to work” after a near death experience it’s “right on! Another day I GET to go to work” I base this on reports from three friends of mine that have had the good fortune to have ambulance rides to hospitals paddles to the chest, and lived to enjoy life with a whole new outlook.
So in that way the fact that nobody has actually died and the wife is/will be physically fine (I pray) this can be looked at as a blessing. Probably doesn’t seem like that right now, and for that I’m sorry.
I’m sorry to hear. Godbless you and your wife
At least she is alright. My sister in law just lost a baby at 4.5 months. Its a terrible thing.
thanks fella's
sorry to hear that
I am really sorry to hear that i will pray for your family....try and have a good day man.
Wow. I'm so sorry man. I wish there was something else I could say, but... I'm just sorry. I hope everything works out, and you guys are in my familys and my prayers.
Sorry to hear that man, you guys have my condolences.
On a good note, think about it this way.... now instead of buying diapers, you can use that money for race gas... ;)
Well it's now 8/22/2009
My baby girl is due on october 28th :)
After this last ordeal we are both relieved.just need some good thoughts from you guys she will have to go into surgery after she is born for a heart defect.Will update as this progresses.We have tried to think the best so far but im a bit overwhelmed at this point came across this old thread in a search and thought I would update

Well, the good thing is that pediatric heart surgeries have come a long way in the last 15 years. Ill pray for you guys. My son is about to turn 2 next month, and he's going to have to have heart surgery too....he has an atrial septal defect. I don't know how im going to handle that.... so I know how you feel.
God bless you guys wish you the best, technology pretty good today if they no what wrong and confident they can correct it they probably can. I feel your pain I have 2 kids, I don’t think I could deal with it myself god bless and good luck.
You are in my family's prayers. I will ask my dad to put you in the prayer chain at his church.
That's very hard news to wrap your head around once you start planning for the future. I'm so sorry.
Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the update. Sounds like you guys have been put through the ringer. I'm glad she's doing better, that's always a relief! You'll defenately be in our thoughts and prayers.
I couldn't imagine what it must be like to go through this. You and your family are in mine and Nicole's thoughts. :bowdown:
So glad she's doing well.
The things they can do for babies and little kids is just amazing... my niece had open heart surgery when she was 2 years old (she had an artery that wasn't big enough so they had to enlarge it) and less than a month after surgery, she was strutting down the isle for my (first) wedding.... that was 19 years ago.
Take care...you and your wife need a lot of rest.... before you know it, Shelby will be home then running around before you know it!
Thank god she is on the up and up. Hope everything goes well from here. God bless. And Shelby is a beautiful name.
glad to hear everything is going well :) little girl sounds strong already. and Shelby is a very pretty name did it come from the car gods?? lol
Glad to hear everything is looking up. I'm sure you all can't wait to get home. Definately sounds like you have a fighter on your hands!
congrats to you and the wife and god bless, man! we'll keep y'all in our thoughts and prayers. i agree with crystal, ya got a fighter there!
pics
Aww! She's a cutie!! How's she doing now?
She seems to be doing good they released her this morning. still got the feeding tube for now ubtill she pics her feeds up.
She's adorable bud, before you know it she's gonna be running around and wanting to go bye bye
That good to hear. I'm sure you guys are happy to have her home. I'm happy for yinz.
Awww....hopefully all the medical stuff she's going through right now will soon be in the past..
Congrats again man! :D
WooHoo! Thank God she is doing well.... She'll be wrecking the family car before you know it!
Shiny Side Up!
Bill
Well she is back in the hospital now the incision is bad infected got her on IV antibiotics now looks like its going to be another 3-4 days in if they dont decide to send her back to vanderbuilt.
dude, that blows...:sorry:
We're keeping that cute little girl of yours..and the rest of you guys...in our thoughts. :bowdown:
Sorry to see that, We where really excited for you that she was finally home. Hopefully it won't get any worse and she'll get to come home again in no time.
Today they decided to send her back to vanderbuilt..I just cant take anymore of this
Just keep positive. They're doing what they think is best for her. The other hospital is probably better equipped to take care of her needs. It'll all pay off in the long run.
and back home again... hope for a while this time
excellent news!
That great news!! Glad to hear it!!
How about an update? How's that little one doing? I pray she's well!
Still in our thoughts and prayers... glad to see she is back home!
Bill & Kristy
+1 You guys have been on my mind and in my prayers. I hope all is going well!
