This is from one of my best girlfriend who is an RN at MoBap. Pass this along…..we need prayers for this mom!
Of course it especially gets me since I am a triplet (2 girls and one boy).
Thanks!

Hi girls...
Hard to believe but I have been in this nursing career of mine for 10 years now....crazy how time flies....and even crazier when a scenario that you encounter somehow just stops you in your tracks and makes you want to live your ULTIMATE best life!! Yesterday an overhead Code Blue was called (very common to me...not as adrenaline rushing as it used to be....unless I'm in on the action) until the location is announced as Labor and Delivery. There was a 38 year old woman who delivered triplets. Waited and tried and finally resorted to in vitro fertilization and carried her babies to 32 weeks. Not at all unusual that she delivered early...and as a matter of fact 2 baby girls and 1 baby boy were born to her 6/15/09....the 3 of them are doing GREAT!! This poor woman in her immediate post op period while her MD was closing her up developed an extremely rare condition called an Amniotic Fluid Embolism. This is so rare (approx 1 in 20,000 live births). She had a seizure and went into full blown cardiac arrest. This new mom of 3 now lies in Intensive Care at MoBap fighting for her life like nooone I have ever seen. She has every medical technology available somehow at work on her at the highest possible levels and she is barely hanging on. 2 RN's for this 1 patient....something else I have never seen....1 on 1 care is common but 2 to 1 Never. I don't believe this has anything to do with the fact that I am pregnant....This case presentation would have GOTTEN me nomatter what. I am just asking you guys to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PRAY for this woman to LIVE!! She never got to hold those babies...just a glimpse of each one held up over a curtain was all. These babies need a Mommy....this husband needs a wife and a mom to these babies....and this woman deserves to know what it's like to LOVE only like a MOM can. This has been ALL consuming to me...I cannot stop thinking about the magnitude of how tragic this is. I was not the RN assigned to take care of this woman...but was in the room several times to help....I have never felt so emotionally overwhelmed in a patient room and I have been in alot of them!! I know I could count on you girls for your support and prayers for this woman I will call DG!! I think telling the story has been therapeutic for me as well!! I just cannot grasp it!! THANKS GIRLS...YOUR THE BEST!! LOVE YOU ALL!!
Amy
