A friend of mine recently gave birth to her 2nd child - a baby girl. Her first child - a baby boy - died 2 short hours after he was born. We were both due the same month when I was pregnant with Gabby. The reason for his death was a thyroid issue that they had no idea was affecting him in utero. It's been a very sad 19 months. The doctors were very careful this time around and her daughter, Addison, was born perfectly healthy this past Friday. She is absolutely beautiful! Today she is 4 days old and her blood pressure has gone up, her thyroid levels have elevated and she is steadily losing weight. The doctors think it's just her body reacting to the thyroid antibodies that were passed to her in the womb. They admitted her to the NICU this morning and are hoping that it's something that can be controlled with medication at this point and that things will level out. This has got to be very scary for my friend, her husband and their family. I have been praying my heart out ever since finding out she was pregnant again and I haven't stopped. If you pray, please say a prayer for little Addison today.
