Please Keep Her In You Prayers

So as most of you know little casey has a
big sister from another girl who's name is
tiffany. Well tiff and I over the years
and even more after little casey was born
have become really really close. We
relate with each other and we want our
children to grow up knowing each other
because reguardless our children are
brother and sister. Well we are like best
friends now anyway but on to the story at
hand.
Tiffany is 37 1/2 weeks pregnant she went
in last week and they noticed something
wrong in the babys abdomen. They told her
it was either her intestiens were enlarged
or something having to do with down
syndrome. I really don't know all the
details. Well they also told her that the
baby (its a girl they are naming her
.Amya. Sound familiar? That was one of
the names I had picked out for casey when
we thought he was a girl. Lol spelled
.Amiyah) anyway they told her that .Amya
had also stopped growing. She's estimated
to only be around 4.6 pounds. Well she
has to go in every other day for them to
monitor her and the baby. She went in
tuesday and was told that the baby was
very small and that it is her intestiens
that are inlarged. They also said its
possible that her intestiens are intagled
together. I'm not sure of the correct
name. She is most likely going to need
surgery as son as she is born but they
aren't sure and they won't really know
untill she is born and see what they are
dealing with. They are going to do her
csection on the 15 and I just ask that
yall keep baby amya and tiffany in yalls
prayers.
I'm taking off work to go and be there for
when she is born and the moment she is out
and we know something I will let you guys
now and i'll get pictures to ya'll also..
I will keep you guys updated also every
other day to let you know what her doctors
keep telling her. She goes in today so by
this afternoon i'll post again and let you
guys know something.
Thanks you guys so much. <3
.Jenn

Oh that sounds like that umm what's it
called....
Where the intestines don't move into the
abdomen...
It's actually more common than people
realise, but the treatment for it is quite
effective.
The intestines are suspended in a special
"bag" that keeps them warm and moist which
is stitched to babys belly then gravity
causes the intestines to gradually move in
to the abdomen as the baby grows.
They can't just be shoved in because the
abdomen is not big enought o begin
with...
***google***
gastroschisis - they use a silon chimney
to hold the intestines

My .Cousin had that and he is doing just
fine. His parents were/are .Chinese and
they already had a child. They came here
to give birth (in my aunts pic-u) and had
to leave him here since he had "issue"
they couldn't take him back to be adopted.
Anyway my aunt and uncle adopted him and
that health issue is fully resolved!!! He
dose have down syndrome but that was a
separate thing.

I have a friend who's daughter was born
with her liver on the wrong side and her
intestines were way too long. She's 3
days younger than trey and is fine. They
did major surgery on her when she was born
and had a hard time learning to roll and
sit because of the incision but today is
fine and almost walking (she's 19 months
old-so within the norm)
i will keep her in my prayers and i'm sure
amya will be fine!!!!!
Stay strong for your girl tiffany!!!
