MuddyDaisy: Is your baby okay?

Right now, I'm a bit terrified but loving this child in my womb, not fearing for the worst. It's difficult to know how to think, going through this.

My son was born with a the worst case they have ever seen (per ALL the doctors). His scar is very visable and is very bad. He had 6 surgeries by 3 months. His sutures continued to rip thru the skin and at one point completly reopened and his intestines began to spill out, thankfully a Dr was in the room and covered the area. That was 19 years ago and he has just graduated from high school. With his intestines was one of his testicles. He is very healthy! We are blessed!
