Thank you, all of you, for your prayers and love. I will convey it all to Saudade. She's out of surgery in the ICU now and they think she's going to be okay. She had severe abdominal pain and fainted and collapsed this morning. Andrei called 911 and they took her to the ER where they found no heartbeat or signs of life from the baby. Her blood pressure was very low and her pulse was extremely rapid, so they took her into emergency surgery, and had to take the baby which was already dead.
They plan to keep her in the ICU overnight and then move her to a room. I'm planning to go down there Tuesday to be with them. I'm so sad about the baby but very thankful that Saudade is alive.
Has anyone ever known someone this happened to? It is outside my experience.

I had a friend who had a stillborn baby, and the thing is, people kind of stayed away from her for a while, giving her space. That was the wrong thing to do. Express your sadness and give them love. Offer to help out with concrete offers (like "May I bring you dinner on Friday?" or "Would you like me to call your family about this?" that sort of thing). Be present, that's the most important thing.
Posted by xnera (Member # 187) on :
I am very sorry to hear about the loss of the baby.
My younger sister had a miscarriage last year. It was a lot more natural -- no rushing to the hospital or anything -- but she did have a D&C a few days later. We all took it very hard. I actually left work the next day after only two hours because I couldn't stop crying. Lori quickly got pregnant again - my neice Avery Marie is due to arrive Sept. 16th. I also have a friend of the family who had three miscarriages in between the birth of her four children.
I will pray that Saudade makes a speedy recover, and send my strength and love for her, Andrei, and their loved ones that they may be strong in this difficult time.

ak,
I'm just back from 2 weeks vacation.
What happened?! How far along was Saudade? What have the doctors said is the cause of death of the baby? And the cause of almost killing Saudade?
My older sister lost 2 babies who died at birth from a genetic kidney defect. It's important to the parents that people talk about the baby (did they name and bury him/her?) as a real person who has died. Not as just something that didn't quite happen. They need to go through the same grief process as anyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one.
My prayers are with them all.
Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
I think I will leave those things for her to tell if she wants to. We're very sad about the death of the baby, of course. Particularly I wish we could have had a chance to tell him how much we loved him before he was taken away from us. How much fun stuff we were planning to share with him, and all the spoiling and pampering and silliness and attention we wanted to shower him with. All the time we wanted to spend with him and all the cool toys we wanted to buy him and then play with ourselves if he would ever let us have a turn. I wish he had known that, if only for a short time.
But mixed with that is my overwhelming joy and relief that Saudade's going to be okay. I'm back home now but I talked to her on the phone this morning and she will most likely be allowed to go home today. I love her so much! My precious girl. My jewel. My window of light. I'm blessed and more than blessed to have her, and nothing can mar that joy.

KEGE, I didn't think you were prying. I always want to know everything and understand everything and I'm sure I drove Saudade crazy while I was there with my quizzing all her doctors and nurses and checking all her meds and looking up medical information. I know Saudade appreciates everyone's concern, and she'll be back online herself I'm sure, soon. So there's no need for me to tell more. I'll just leave it to her.

*Update written by Saudade*
I wanted to thank everybody for your prayers and thoughts. It's been over 3 weeks since the emergency surgery, and over 2 weeks since I was released, (reluctantly), from the hospital.
Some of you have asked what happened, well, bad luck happened, that and my screwed up mutant genetics. I won't really go into much detail about why things didn't work out, and I'll pass very quick through what exactly happened, because, as some of you may already know, I am a private hard headed person.
The very early morning of sunday the 13th, Andrei and I had come back home after visiting a friend and watching movies and eating pizza at her place. We were sitting at the table, eating some fruit, getting ready to go to sleep when I had a sudden sharp pain in my abdomen. It was by far the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. I tried making sense of it, but it didn't seem like anything mundane or anything I had experienced before. I lost conciousness while Andrei tried to carry me to the sitting room. I regained conscience seconds later, as he called my doctors. The pain had increased so badly I requested he called an ambulance, since by then I could barely breathe and I couldn't walk anymore.
I was taken to the local hospital and after being examined in triage I was set in observation for 6 hours. The nurses and doctors were at a loss. No signs of blood or normal miscarriage were to be found, but they couldn't find my pulse. One after another, they tried with 6 different machines to find my vitals, they tried the old fashioned way to find a pulse, but all they got was my heart beat pumping at astronomic rates.
After several ultra sounds they determined the baby had already died, and my doctor decided I was having a tremendous internal crisis, I was bleeding myself to death internally.
I was sent to emergency surgery.
According to the nurses and doctors, I was basically dead for hours. But I could talk, and I was lucid. Guess all of my remaining blood got directed to my brain. I lost over 3/4 of my blood, I required 2 units during surgery, and 4 more during my stay in the ICU, I lost a lot of this blood though, so nowadays I am basically running in half of my capacity.
When I woke up I had to be restrained, respirators aren't friendly machines, and I am not a friendly person when I am hooked up to one and still very drugged. After they took me off of it, my vitals collapsed again and had to be resurrected for about the 6th time since the start of the surgery. It hurt, and I think I have died enough for a couple of years.
The rest is just hospital stay, 4 days in the ICU, heavily drugged, I can barely remember it all, just bits and pieces.
Mentally I could be better, I was ok for a couple of days after the surgery, untill the bereavement services tried to "help". But that's a rant I won't get into.
Andrei and I have recently moved to a new apartment... well... kind of moved. He took 3 weeks off work to take care of me during my hospital stay and the first weeks after the operation. I am still not allowed to do much, walk much, move much. I am in a lot of drugs, and still in pain, still having nightmares, but hey... it could be worse, I could be dead afterall.
The doctors say I am going to be fine, everybody is very freaked out at me though, and received visits from all the nurses at triage, observation, and even our family doctor, who doesn't even work at the hospital. I guess that's part of living in a small town. You cannot freakishly nearly die without everybody finding out and wanting to bother you while you are half alive.
Thankfully I had great hospital care, our friend Carissa, and AnneKate were great help during the whole ordeal, and we have discovered we are very loved and valued in our town. Who would have thought, since we are such hermits.
I also learnt a very valuable lesson. Never say you feel like dying in a hospital. If you do they will send in a guard to make sure you don't run off at 2 inches per hour and decide to make a mad dash in front of a food cart to end your misery. Fortunately for me, along with the guard they sent in a psychiatrist, who certified me as the sanest person she has known in her life and I was released from the hospital, not without my doctor nagging about staying another night.
I think that's all, the doctors say they might allow me to go back to work and school in another 3 weeks, but they also said they might recommend another 4 months of rest, since I am still very weak in all senses, and my major requires a lot of physical work.
I am glad I am alive, and that they didn't remove any major organs I might need later. They did some reconstructive surgery, or as much as they could during a critical intervention, and we should be able to have babies without any problems or external help, just very careful monitoring and I will be always labeled as high risk, so of the worst outcomes we got off ok.
Once again thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. And I'll be around AIM on time to time. I am still far too drugged and weak to be hanging around the PC much.

You and Andrei (and ak) are in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss and your suffering. It sounds as though your survival was a miracle and that you are an incredibly strong person. I hope this contributes to a speedy recovery.
Take care.
