I am so pleased to be here with you all and to be able to share such a special part of my life with you! The birth of my fifth child....
On January 18, 2001 I knew something was wrong with my baby that was still inside me. You know how you just have a feeling about something? Call it mothers intuition or what you will... unfortunately, I was right.
I went to the emergency room on January 16, 2001. They hooked me up to many machines and monitors. After many hours they finally did an ultrasound and found that there was some physical defects with the baby. The doctor wouldn't tell me anything he just had me transported to the trauma unit!
After two hours and what seemed like an eternity in the ambulance we finally arrived at the trauma unit. Being all day in the hospital and now well after midnight I was becoming dehydrated. The first hospital never put me on an IV. So, now I went into labor!
To make a very long story short, the doctors knew that there was something terribly wrong with my baby. By Jan. 18, 2001 they decided to do an emergency c-section and take the baby. The doctors told me that she had a genetic disorder somewhat like downs syndrome. They explained that she most likely wouldn't live past the first month let alone the first year.
I named her Sierra Cheyenne before she was taken from me. Once I came to from the anesthesia I got to hold this 2 lb. 12.1 oz. fuzzy haired littl girl! She was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen!!! Her fingers were so tiny I couldn't believe there could be a human so tiny!!!
Sadly, my baby girl passed away 6 hours and 5 minutes after birth. She will remain in God's memory and in my heart until the resurrection!
Mommy loves you so much Sierra Cheyenne!!! I will hold you and hug you and kiss you again!!
