COOPER SAID "I'M BUSTING OUT OF HERE"

I spent the night with Melody on Thursday night to give Clay a break. What a night it proved to be. Melody was in HARD labor all night, and nothing would work. None of the medicines would work--and she noticed some bleeding at about midnight. They put her back on the magnesium and it didn't budge the labor. Her contractions were non-stop, and peaking way on up there in strength. She was feeling these and not liking what she was feeling. I called Clay to tell him about them putting her back on the Mag and maybe he should come because she was having such active labor. Melody commented that she didn't see how her uterus could hold out with these contractions. Sure enough--at about 2:45 a.m., her water broke, and by the time the anesthesiologist arrived and checked her out, she was complete and really needing to push. She had been feeling like she needed to push since about midnight. They did not have time to do the epidural, and Cooper was born at 3:38, weighing in at 1 lb. 5 oz. He is in VERY CRITICAL condition, in the neo-natal ICU. Melody is doing well, healthwise. They have determined after the delivery that she had placental abruption where the placenta tries to detach from the uterine wall. Please continue to pray for Baby Cooper, Melody & Clay. Thank you.
