Our son Ezra William Zingg, 37 weeks and 3 days, full-term baby, passed away on July 2nd, 2013 due to uterine rupture.
The Story:
I went into the hospital that morning, in extreme pain, And was eventually sent away hours later because, "I wasn't in as much pain as I thought." We left the hospital and tried the doctors office, they as well, said it was just "normal labor pain" not even 2 hours after leaving the doctors office, I returned to the hospital. This time screaming bloody murder, shaking uncontrollably, throwing up, and was in shock. My uterus had completely ruptured and had been tearing slowly all day long. They did a sono and came to the conclusion our beautiful son's heart had stopped beating. They rushed to do an emergency c-section. We prayed and begged for the sono to be somehow wrong but they found our beautiful son floating In my abdomen. My uterus had completely ruptured and our son had passed away. We lost our son and almost myself that July day. Later that night I was told the damage to my uterus was pretty extensive and I wouldn't be able to have anymore children, at 23 years old. Just a few days later we had to sign our child's death certificate instead of his birth certificate. Instead of bringing our baby home and showing him off to the world, we had to choose a casket and make funeral arrangements.
Just 3 short months later, I started having pain, yet again, hesitantly we went to the doctor and discovered my c-section had completely come undone internally. I had a huge incisional ventral hernia. It was repaired with mesh and 22 titanium screws anchored into my Pubic bone all the way up to my lower rib cage.
What has happened has been a horrific experience that I would never wish upon anyone. We deeply grieve still the shocking loss of our child every day, every night, every moment. I hope our story can help prevent other women from having to go through a tragedy like what we are still going through, because no parents should have to bury their child.
We are asking for help with a head stone instead of a piece of paper in plastic for our beautiful baby boy. One day our dream as husband and wife would be to adopt a child, since we can no longer have one ourselves. (We do have a 4 year old, who we cherish with all of our hearts) we have always wanted a family of 4 or 5 and would love to be able to adopt one day. Maybe this could help us obtain that dream, if not just paying for a head stone would be amazing too.
Lastly, the reason we have waited almost two years, and are now starting this, is because we simply haven't had the money. I promise you, we have tried over and over, but do to a very scary recovery, in these two short years, I have not been able to really work. However, my husband has been our rock. He works as much as possible, but still has to help take care of me and our older son. Somehow we still manage to barely squeak by, like many of us today. It took a lot for us to ask for help, but this isn't about us. Its about a little boy, a helpless baby boy, that should still be here today. All we wish for is a nice headstone for him. Thank you for your kind advise, gifts, condolences, and uplifting words God Bless.
