HI, THIS IS MY SON, JASON'S STORY. 3 YEARS AGO I WAS PREGNANT WITH MY THIRD BABY, JASON. I WAS STARTING MY 32ND WEEK, WHEN HE ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED MOVING INSIDE OF ME. AFTER A DAY OF NO MOVEMENT, I CALLED THE DOCTOR AND I FELT THAT I NEEDED TO BE SEEN THAT NIGHT. SOMETHING TOLD ME THAT SOMETHING WAS HORRIBLY WRONG. MY HUSBAND AND I PACKED UP MY 2 BOYS AND RACED TO THE HOSPITAL. THEY PUT ME ON THE FETAL MONITOR AND FOUND A VERY WEAK HEARTBEAT. AFTER DOING A BIOPHYSICAL PROFILE THEY FOUND THAT THE BABY'S SMALL INTESTINES WERE MALROTATED AND LEAKING POISONESS FLUID INTO HIS STOMACH. THEY RUSHED ME TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL TO PERFORM A C-SECTION AND THEN IMMEDIATELY PERFORMED SURGERY ON THE BABY. THE DOCTORS CAME IN MY ROOM AT ABOUT 3:00AM TO TELL ME THAT THE BABY WAS IN THE NICU BUT HANGING ON BY A THREAD. HE WAS ON LIFE SUPPORT AND TPN.  THEY TOLD ME THEY NEEDED TO TAKE OUT A HUGE PORTION A SMALL INTESTINE AND THAT THEY WEREN'T SURE IF HE WOULD EVEN MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT. WHEN I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO SEE HIM, HE WAS HOOKED UP TO SO MANY THINGS I COULD BARELY SEE HIS FACE. AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS HE WAS ABLE TO WEAN OFF OF LIFE SUPPORT AND WAS BREATHING ON HIS OWN. HE HAD AN ILEOSTOMY AND WAS ON IV FEEDING, TPN. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO HOLD MY SON. THE DOCTORS WERE AMAZED AND HOW WELL HE WAS DOING AND TOLD US THAT ONCE HE REACHED 5 POUNDS, THEY WOULD TRY TO RECONNECT THE SMALL INTESTINES. AFTER 2 MONTHS IN THE NICU, HE WAS FINALLY READY FOR A RES SECTION. MIRACULOUSLY HE CAME HOME WITH US 1 WEEK AFTER THAT SURGERY. THE DOCTORS SAID THAT 80% OF HIS SMALL INTESTINES WERE REMOVED. I TRIED BREAST FEEDING BUT HE COULDN'T ABSORB THAT AND AFTER ABOUT 1 WEEK HOME WE HAD A HUGE SET BACK. JASON'S LIVER WAS NOT FUNCTION DUE TO THE TPN. AFTER A LARGE BATTERY OF TESTS TO MAKE SURE HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY OTHER INBORN PROBLEMS WITH HIS LIVER, THEY SENT HOME WITH MEDICATION FOR HIS LIVER CALLED URSODIAL. HE WAS ALSO ABLE TO HAVE A FORMULA CALLED PREGESTIMIL. HE WAS THEN STARTING TO ABSORB BETTER AND ABLE TO THRIVE.  AT THIS POINT IN TIME WE ARE EXTREMELY BLESSED WITH A SEEMINGLY HEALTHY 3 YEAR OLD WHO JUST NEEDS TO BE ON A FAT FREE DIET. HE IS PRESENTLY TAKING THE ENTERAL FORMULA OF PEDIASURE, ORALLY. HE IS SEEN BY A PEDIATRIC GASTROINTEROLOGIST TWICE A YEAR. BLOOD DRAWS ARE DONE AT THAT TIME AND ARE A BIG ORDEAL SINCE HE HAS NO SURFACE VEINS LEFT TO DRAW FROM. THIS IS REALLY NOTHING COMPARED TO EVERYTHING ELSE HE HAD TO ENDURE.  NOW THAT I TOLD HIS WHOLE STORY FACT BY FACT I GUESS I DON'T EVEN NEED TO SHARE THE EMOTIONAL END OF IT BECAUSE YOU'VE PROBABLY BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TALK TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS TO SHARE THEIR STORY AND OFFER MY SUPPORT. I AM ACTUALLY STILL GOING THROUGH POST TRAUMATIC STRESS, BUT HOPEFULLY TALKING OR TYPING TO OTHER PEOPLE WILL HELP ME. Debbie Thompson mom of Jason age 3
