Update on Amanda (Adgal)...A little sad news

[prevatt77]

Amanda went for an ultrasound yesterday.  They told her that the placenta stopped supporting Ryder at 35 weeks and that she had no amontic fluid in the sac and that he was having a hard time breathing.  They told her to get to L&D ASAP.  She actually drove herself to the hospital in a severe panic (who wouldn't be...)  When she got to the hospital they did an emergency C-section.  Ryder was born last night at 7:30 p.m. (Canada time), he was 4 lbs 14 ozs and was 42 cm which is 16 1/2 inches long (if my measurements are correct).  He is in the NICU and will be staying there for a few days and she believes she will be coming home tomorrow or Monday.  Ryder is breathing on his own, but his sugar count is a little low.  She was able to nurse him today and it went very well.  She said he is the most beautiful little boy she has ever laid eyes on.  He has dark blonde hair and blue eyes.  She also said he is very very tiny, but just perfect to her.

She wasn't able to call anyone or give an update on the computer because she went right from her ultrasound to the hospital.  She actually left her wallet with her numbers in them where she had the ultrasound at.

She sounds really good, in good spirits and say's she can't believe she is finally a mommy and holding her beautiful son.  Let's please say and extra prayer for Ryder, but she's been assured that he is going to be just fine.

I am so happy to hear that ryder and you are doing ok, I was a little shaken when I saw some sad news, I feared the worst but I am so happy he and you are doing ok hurry home ryder congrats amanda and warren, can not forget the little one ryder welcome to mommyhood amanda just like smr08 said

So glad your little man is doing well. He had an angel looking down on him:) How are you feeling Amanda? The pictures of Ryder are beautiful!!

[adgal]

Thanks so much everyone.  I am so glad it was caught when it was.  This really was just a routine ultrasound.  They are not sure how long the fluid had been so low, but because of his weight estimate the placenta stopped working properly around 35 weeks.  It was obviously doing something or I don't think he would be here at all, but just wasn't doing it's job properly anymore.  We just don't know why.  He is fine though...just super tiny.  He is so feisty..lol.  And of course we think he is just perfect.  Now we just need to get him home!!  Thanks for updating everyone Deb.  And for calling...my wallet is still at the ultrasound clinic.  We will get it tomorrow.  XOXO

[blessedmomof3]

I am praying very hard for Amanda! I can'tr even imagine how scared she must have been, I am glad baby Ryder is ok. I haven't had a chance to read everything, but I will soon. Just want Amanda to know I ma here p-raying for her.

[Ecologic]

That was a close call! Must have been very scary. It's amazing that the baby was able to survive without fluid for so long. I am happy it turned out OK.

[Tanker Chic]

Congrats on your new family... I'm glad everything has turned out okay.. when my LO was in the NICU i just kept reminding myself that it was no big deal because my baby was/is healthy and would be coming home... maybe not on the time line we had hoped for, but in the end, it will all be fine.  

Congrats hon.. i am so happy for you.. enjoy your baby!!

[TreeFrog7]

Oh man, I  teared up when I saw the title! I am so glad to hear Ryder and Mommy are doing well!!! Thank goodness for the ultrasound!

Big Hugs Amanda!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you!

Thanks for the update Deb!

[sue68]

Thank you for the update Prevatt77 - I've been thinking about her since her last post. Jeez, when I read "sad news" my heart stopped - so relieved to hear that she's alright!
I'm happy Ryder is okay - Amanda - you're a Mommy - congrats !  

[mommyin10]

I'm so happy to hear little Ryder will be ok! :) What a night for you, Amanda. Take care & congrats :)

[spade22]

Yikes!  Thank GOODNESS she had that US when she did and he is doing ok.  Wow but yay Ryder!

[bernie40]

OMG, what a thing to go through, I'm so pleased that Ryder is holding his own and Amanda is in good spirits.  I will be saying lots of prayers for both of them.

[prevatt77]

Maybe I should have worded the title differently.  That's why I said "A little" sad.  So sorry to freak everyone out.  I justed posted based on how she was telling me and the story as a whole.  Actually when she was talking to me she had told me that the ultrasound tech told her that Ryder WAS NOT breathing, but I didn't say that because if that would have been true then how did he survive?  He must truly be a miracle and God was watching over him.

[momof8215]

OH GOD I am soooooooooooo happy that all is ok with them. My heart was on the floor! God is definitely watching over them...she did say he was still very active so I knew he just had to be ok!! I CAN"T WAIT TO SEE HIM. Yay for Amanda and Warren...if any two people deserve this baby it's them!!! I just can't believe he is so small, but after no nurishment for a while will do that to you, poor little baby!! He'll catch up realy quick though...Way to go Mommy!!!! Give him a great big kiss from all of his Medhelp Aunts...just do a little hug until he gets bigger, LOL!! Yay for you I am so proud...
