For those who didn't get the whole story of what happened, here is a clear short explanation:
I went into labor Thursday around 10:45 pm. Everything looked fine all that night. By 7:30 am i was dilated to 9 and Sierra was almost here. Then the nurse noticed that they lost the reading of her heart monitor. They wasted no time in getting my into operating room and got her out in 45 seconds. My uterus had ruptured. The placenta was torn from my uterus and her life line was cut off. We don't know how long she was without oxygen. They think maybe less than 20 mins. They had to resuscitate her. She was transported to Loma Linda Children's hospital where they have this recently new cooling procedure to help minimize blood flow damage to the brain for 72 hrs.
As of today Tuesday June 9th she is off the cooling procedure and she has been gradually warmed up to her normal temp without the brain reacting negatively and no seizures as a result. Praise God. For those who have been praying, we can't thank you enough. We feel the prayers, love, and concern and are tremendously appreciative and thankful.

Thanks for sharing and keeping us updated. Rob and I have not stopped praying for you guys. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do. She is beautiful!!!!! And I know she is in incredible hands at Loma Linda. We have seen their amazing care and love first hand and in the 11 days we stayed, witnessed numerous miracles.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you did this, Lilly. I was just thinking of something like this that would be good not only for your own journaling but to let others know Sierra's progress and how to best pray for her. We are believing in a miracle! For with God all things are possible.
ReplyDeleteJim and I have been and will continue to pray for Sierra Rose and for you two, Ryan and Lily. "HE is able...more than able...to accomplish what concerns me today." Thank you, Jesus. We love you.
ReplyDeleteDear Ryan and Lilly and Sierra Rose, We continue to pray expecting God's touch and strength for you!
