Great news. Now don’t get off track. Sign him up for private hitting lessons now.

Thanks for all the kind words, prayers, and support.
I’m happy to share that the first test results have come in, and the little man is fine. Still waiting on a few other results for some minor stuff, but the take away is that he is probably a week or two younger than we thought and going to be just fine.
Thanks for the update. I know you are all very relieved. Prayers answered.

Ultimately we chose to do a medically induced abortion
Incredibly difficult decision to make that I myself and wife had to make as well. Heart beat wasn’t there and baby had stopped growing after week 9. They said they could try for a heartbeat again the following week but something was DEFINITELY wrong with the baby as it was a week behind developmentally. We said “if you do find a heartbeat somehow next week what are our options then” and they said carry it to term is the only option other than if the mothers life is in danger. We chose the D&C and while it was a hard decision then, we thought it was best for us. People who think it’s all just “not wanting a kid” haven’t been put in these situations. And we all hear about the .1% of cases where the child grows up okay, but no one talks about the 99% of the cases that the child struggles with life. I can see both sides of the debate, but I know you’re going through some rough times. Good luck and there is no wrong decision, just what is best for you and your wife.

Did your child do ABA therapy?

Great news

We found out at our 20 week appointment that there was an issue with my wife’s cervix and our twins could be born any minute. Our doctor told us to go home and just have the babies and that they wouldn’t make it.
We found a doctor to an emergency surgery on my wife for a better chance for the kids. They were born at 23 weeks and my daughter weighed 0 pounds 14 ounces.
My son passed after a week in NiCU. My daughter spent 6 months in the NiCU with many complications. We were told she wouldn’t be able to walk, talk normal, and have many disabilities. She is now 3 years old and you would never know the stuff she went through. She runs everywhere and does gymnastics.
Don’t let them tell you there isn’t hope.

I don't know you, but I'm praying for you. My wife and I were in a similar but different situation with our second child. Sonogram showed that her kidneys weren't functioning right at 12 weeks. We wouldn't know until 16 weeks what was going on. Those 4 weeks of not knowing anything whether she'd be okay, or even still alive was the roughest time of my life. Brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it 10 years later. Don't be afraid to be selfish for you or the mother during this time. If you need to take time off, do it. If you need to talk to someone, do it.

Outstanding news, that’s what I was hoping was the case.

Currently have my son in the NICU. He had fetal growth restriction due to absent end diastolic flow (bad placenta) with a possibility for issues. He was measuring in the 2% when my wife was admitted at 26 weeks. She developed HELLP syndrome overnight at 29 weeks and had to be put under for an emergency C section. First week was ROUGH with so many issues now he’s growing like a weed (Born 6/29 at 2 pounds) and now is almost 4 pounds with a couple more road bumps to overcome.
I say this to say take it day by day, don’t go over the what ifs because it will kill you. Not sure on your faith but the power of prayer is so real. Each small milestone is big and be there for your wife because there will be a time when she blames herself and she’s way more terrified than you. Be her rock and her support.
Please reach out if you just want to talk it can feel so lonely and you’re not alone. I will be praying for you, your wife, and baby.

I had HELLP and an abruptly placenta with my now 19 year old. I had similar issues with my 5 year old, who was a 30 weeker. The NICU is tough, and it never fully leaves you. They're the longest days of your life, but they do pass, and that homecoming day is the absolute best.
OP, prayers for you and your little family. As a special needs mom, I can 100% say they are worth it. And if I had to do it over again, I would choose them every time.

Hold up.
First of all that’s fantastic news and congrats. But secondly, all of this seems sort of…..avoidable. It seems like this could’ve been figured out long before the docs put y’all through all of this. Did they ever at any point mention that it could easily just be that the baby is slightly younger than estimated? Good Lord. I know some of this fox stuff isn’t easy, but it seems like that definitely should’ve been one of the explanations outside of all of the absolutely awful shite listed in the OP.
But either way, I’m really happy for y’all.

I don’t even know why I’m posting this here beyond hoping some of you have been in a similar scenario only to find the Drs were FOS.
I'm here typing to you...
I was 8 weeks early and full of all sorts of shite they told my mom they'd never bring me home. Hooked up to everything. Heart kept stopping. Lung development issues. Hemorrhages...my dad could put his thumb and middle finger around my chest and his fingers would touch the bed.
I'm 6'4" 235lbs and doing fine from anything birthing related.
Have some faith. They don't know everything. Hard to take measurements when a baby inst hitting the same milestones size wize as others for any number of reasons...
Keep up updated.

This is incredible news! I’m very happy for you brother. I wish all the best for you and your new family!

My sister has downs. I thought I loved life until I meet her. She has taught me what everything important in life is. Not a bigger LSU fan. She is still pissed we missed the extra point against Fla St. Good luck on the future.
