I’ve had complications with this pregnancy since I was 19 weeks and was told over and over that I should terminate because my babies weren’t going to live, but every week these two girls defied the odds and defied what the doctors said would happen. Both were growth restricted, but Jalyn was more severe than Jordyn was. But Jalyn was strong and didn’t care what the doctors said because every week there she was just chugging along inside. So I left it all with God and kept my faith in him that he would know what to do. And every day he kept my girls with me. So on 11/9/18 at my regular ultrasound check up Jalyn was telling us it was time.
On 11/09/18 at 31 weeks and 4 days I had an emergency c-section and delivered my beautiful twin girls. At 8:16pm Jalyn Ryann and at 8:18pm her little sister Jordyn Risse were born. My two miracle babies. They rushed both babies out before I can even lay eyes on them, but I knew they were in the best care. A few hours later they brought me to Jalyn and this beautiful baby girl was so strong. She fought so hard and long enough for them to suture me up and get me stable enough to see her. They laid her on me and we spent the little time we had together until she took her last breaths. Jalyn is truly a miracle baby. She held on so long in the womb and as long as she could outside to save her sister Jordyn to ensure that she left an impression on my life as well as her sisters’! Jalyn is truly her sisters keeper and guardian angel and she will forever be my angel. My first born, the one to make me a mommy! I love you my girl. Forever and always!
Jordyn is doing great. She will be in the NICU but she is making positive progress and is just as strong as her big sister. She is no longer intubated and is doing well with her breathing. She is slowly being introduced to food but is on continuous TPN for nutrition. She’s healthy and stable. My beautiful baby girl is on her way to making it out of the NICU and home to me.



The money raised will go toward the funeral expenses for Jalyn Ryann.
