It is May 12th 2018 and I don't even know where to start.
Let's see... On Monday November 20th 2017, I went for my weekly scan and the neonatologist looked at Melody breathing in my belly for a long time. He then decided that it was time for her to come out because she was not breathing well. That was a shocker and I was not ready for that.
He sent me to Labor and Delivery and I had to call my husband to bring my hospital bag because we were about to have a baby.
My OB came (thank goodness), and at 6.24pm Melody was born via C-section.
I did not hear her cry. I inquired about her, and a few seconds? minutes? after, I heard a very faint cry and she was intubated.
The next morning, she was transferred to Children's Hospital of Dallas for her back closure surgery, and everything went well.
On Wednesday morning, I asked to be discharged so I could go see my daughter in the NICU. We got there in the afternoon, and my husband realized that they had extubated her. She was doing great.
A few hours later, the machines started beeping and her 02 levels went down drastically, and she turned blue.
That was the beginning of the problems.
