Several years ago my sister found out she was pregnant, at the age of fifteen that wasn't necessarily a good thing; however she looked forward to being a mother and caring for her child. That pregnancy and the care my sister recieved at the hospital when in labor with her son has cause damage that has cast a cloud of sadness on our entire family; here's the story. At seven and a half months she was admitted to the hospital and put on bed rest; she was dialated to four centimeters already and the hospital was concerned the child would be born premature and have difficulties. My sister felt an intense pressure shortly after that, when she told the nurses they said "you just need to go to the bathroom". She got up to go and in the process of getting out of bed her water broke and my nephew was born, with her barely catching him before he hit the cold hospital floor. My sister was extremely upset with the hospital that allowed this to happen; she wasn't even admitted to the maternity ward and was in an unsanitary room with another patient who was ill. The results of improper care during the birth and the time right after resulted in my nephew being deaf in one ear and my sister has now dicovered, after trying the past five years to conceive, that both her falopian tubes are blocked completely. No hope other than surgery or invitro fertilization can help her have another child. The operation and the invitro are expensive, as I am sure most people know, we are working on saving money to help her and her fiance concieve, after they are married in June; they've been trying for five years and my sister got the "bomb" dropped on her earlier today that it will never be possible for her to conceive without assistance. We aren't asking for all the money, simply what ever people are able to help with; I can't think of anyone who I know who deserves to be a mother more than my sister. If you can't donate anything, please send your prayers. Thank you all and God bless.

  • Well hi to all who have read this..well this story is about me..i want to thank my family and everyone else for trying to help it is greatly appreciated. I just thought i would add alittle to this. Yes i have a 10 yr old son, but i didnt get to be mommy to him. We thought it was in his best interest to be under the care of my aunt since i was only 15 and had no help from the father. I have tryed to convince him to come with me but he is older and just is not feeling that. I completley understand his wishes. Just now after being told i cannot have more children makes me very sad to know i may never be able to be the mommy i so long to be..my husband and i pray every night some miracle is going to happen. We have faith that maybe with help we can make this possible.thank u everyone for any kind of help and support you can give us. It means more than anything.
