(organs outside the body requiring surgery.) My son's was
at least the intestine. Sometimes it's due to a chromosome disorder.
My Amniocentesis proved it was the chromosome disorder called Trisomy-18.
If babies live out of the womb with this they rarely go beyond a year.
My baby was supposed to be due November 23, 2001 but instead my membranes
ruptured unexpectedly with no contractions on August 21, 2001.
They allowed me to try and carry him to get him older as long as
there was no infection. But he died the same day and they induced labor
the next. I dressed him, took pictures, got his footprints
and a lock of his hair. He had daddy's mouth and feet.
He had mommy's nose and our hair color is the same so he had
our hair color. I'll miss my precious baby boy until we meet again and
I get to meet our Father who's taking care of him now.
