Baby Aiden, Kalyn and Brad
Hello My name is Laura and we are starting a go fund me page for Kalyn, Brad and baby Aiden.......... This is Kalyns update when she went into the hospital.....Good morning everyone. I don’t have much to update everyone on, but here’s what I do know. I’ll be staying here at Ruby for the rest of my pregnancy. We are trying to get me to 34 weeks, (I am 31 weeks and 2 days today) but that is also the latest I will deliver. If I don’t have him naturally in 3 weeks, they will induce me or I will have him via c-section. I’m having a hard time knowing that my baby boy is going to be premature no matter what, but please pray that over these next few weeks I can keep him in and he can grow, that way he doesn’t have to spend months in the NICU, vs a few weeks. Instead of him being a September baby, he will be born either this month or the first week of August. After I have him, I will most likely be staying at a Ronald McDonald housing unit so that way I can continue to see my baby while he continues to stay here once I’m discharged. Baby and I are both in great health. I haven’t had any serious contractions, other than a few last night, and I haven’t dilated anymore. I have still been bleeding but it seems to be subsiding so that is great news. So the chance is on my side that I can hopefully keep him growing inside me, again please continue praying. The next hard part for me is knowing I can’t see any of my family or friends until I am discharged, which theoretically could be anytime between now and august. Depending on when I have him. It’s super hard because my mom was supposed to be here to help me deliver but she, nor anyone, is allowed to even come visit me throughout my time here. With that being said, I’m hoping to keep Brad with me here as much as possible, even though I know he will probably need to return to work at some point. I’m having a hard time mentally knowing that at some point I’m going to be up here facing this alone. At this point in time, infection is one of my biggest risks so I’m on 24/7 antibiotics. Thankfully I’m not in immediate risk of having him because I’ve been able to keep some fluid around the baby, I didn’t lose all of it when my water broke. Finally, I can’t begin to thank you all for the prayers and good vibes sent my way. I’m sorry that I haven’t gotten back to everyone that has privately messaged me, I’ve been so overwhelmed and honestly at a loss for words. I have never talked to God as much as I have in the last 24 hours. I know that I am in good hands, just right now I’m in bad mental spirit. Mostly just sad and scared still. Please keep praying for us, as we still have a really unexpected journey ahead of us. With that being said, I will have to cancel my baby shower and maternity pictures, and pretty much anything that we had planned for the next few months, because no matter what I won’t be leaving here, nor will the baby, for at long while. I owe my family and Brads family the world, as they’re now trying to get me everything I’ll need before the baby comes. Please keep them in your prayers too please, none of this has been easy for them either and I’m so blessed that we have such a great support system. I’ll post my registry down below, if you’re able to help, anything at all is appreciated. This is all happening so quick, I thought I still had 2 more months to prepare. I know that I am very blessed to be in good health, and I’m so blessed that our son is healthy. I’m trying not to let the overwhelming situation take away from that most important part. Please continue praying for us, we really need for him to stay put for a few more weeks. I’m not sure how many more updates I’ll be able to bring you, but as I receive them, I will keep you all posted. I’m supposed to talk to a NICU team this morning at some point to get more of an idea of what to expect. I love you all and I can’t thank you enough for your prayers and kind words. Please continue praying for us I’m so grateful for everyone’s love and support thank you all
