“It’s time to call it in. Mommy is hemorrhaging and baby isn’t breathing right.”
The midwife’s words slammed into my consciousness like a baseball bat to the forehead. I was in a daze as the ambulance doors slammed shut, the sirens wailed, and we headed for the nearest hospital with a NICU.
Up to this point, the pregnancy had seemed completely normal. The baby looked healthy on the *24 week* ultrasound, and we looked forward to welcoming our sweet little girl into the world from the comfort of our home. We had no idea that the first 4+ weeks of little Lorena Rose’s life would be spent inside a hospital.
Lorena was diagnosed with a cleft palate and a recessed chin which made breathing difficult because her tongue was blocking her airway. The doctors have done an amazing job of reconstructing her jaw by cutting her jaw in half and extending it day by day. Thank God for doctors!
A lengthy hospital stay and multiple surgeries come with a price. I’ve been away from work for over a month, and my work schedule is still being disrupted during the process of Lorena’s recovery and preparation to go home.
In addition, Lorena will need outpatient visits to the hospital and speech therapy later on. She also needs another surgery to fix her cleft palate when she’s around 9 months old.
Our hospital bills are currently over $500K. It looks like a huge amount, but we know God is faithful, and that he has a plan for our little girl’s life.
Thank you so much for caring, praying, and giving. It means the world to us.
Gratefully,
Charles, Regina, and Family
