Our Family Needs Your Help..
Donation protected
In June of this year, our family found out we were were expecting our second child. We were estatic; our first was concieved via fertility medications, so we looked at this as a miracle!! It has been a very rocky pregnancy with issues from the beginning, including a hematoma in the uterus, but i will fast forward to the present. At 20 weeks, I started hemorrhaging at home, pretty severly. After 6 days in the hospital and a blood transfusion, I was sent home, but learned my placenta partially detached itself. A week and a half later at a doctors appointment, I was sent to be directly admitted, and have been here since! I will be here until she is born, as well as likely after to be with her in the ICU. My cervix has shrunk to almost nonexistant, and started dialating. I will hemorrhage again, and we know it will be severe. Every day my life is at risk, as well as my baby girls. Her name is Morgan. We are 26 weeks now ... yay! But I have not been able to work since October, due to these issues, and wont be able to return for a while. She WILL be in the ICU after birth, and I was almost guarenteed she will be born with medical issues. Alot to process when we already have a special needs toddler at home!! I cannot get disability, because I did not recieve benifits with my employer ( can only work part time, to tend to my toddlers medical and developmental needs) My husband basically became a single dad in the blink of an eye. I will be spending all of the holidays here without my family, as well as my birthday. I am sucking up my pride, and asking for any help that you may be able to spare. From the bottom of my heart ... from my family to yours ... thank you.
