Recently, I have been asked a lot What happened, so I thought I would share our story again. Our Story: A lot of people have asked, so we wanted to make sure everyone was aware of what happened. On Wednesday night (July 9), I was not feeling really well, but I just figured it was the pregnancy, but I had not felt Gabriella move during the day, which was odd. Thursday morning (July 10) I still didnt feel right and after eating her favorite fruit, a nectar, she still didnt respond. My feet were swollen (nothing new), but I just did not feel well. Something felt different. I called the Drs and they sent me to labor & delivery at Porter Hospital. While there, they got a heart beat, but no real fetal movement. All I can say is that within the next few moments, everything just fly by. I was being sent to another room saying I was not being admitted, to I need your finger print for the birth certificate. (I did know know at this point if the severity was me or her. I did find out later, it was both.). If I had not went to the hospital, both Gabriella and I would have died. I was 6 hours away from deaths door. My kidneys and liver was shutting down. I had toxins throughout my body that was hurting Gabriella (which is why she is so small at 30 weeks.). She should have been 3-4 pounds at 30 weeks, but here she was only at 1 pound 11 ozs. We, Bryan and I found out that there was a point where he would have been running from ICU to NICU watching us fight for our life, but thank God, I listened to my body for once. Thank God, he saved both me and Gabriella. What we found out was that I had severe preeclampsia and HELLP, which was the reason for the emergency C Section. There was no time to wait for meds. No time to wait for me to do anything to help Gabriella, it was just time for her to come out and me to get stable. I honestly think about this moment and I still am in disbelief. I can not believe I was that sick. I cant believe my daughter is here already, fighting for a better health. I cant understand any of this. I will never know some of these answers, but what I do know is that Im thankful and grateful. Thankful I am still here and grateful my daughter is a fighter. God has decided he was not ready for either of us and I pray he wont be for 100 years from now!!!!
