Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hello to our family and friends, Joe and I want to extend our thanks to everyone for the outpouring of love, kindness and friendship at this time of great need. Yesterday (1/29/04) labor was induced and our son, Devin ph Hutchison was delivered at 4:07pm. We are very proud that we were able to see him, hold him, and say goodbye to him over a period of 3 hours. He was beautiful even at 17 weeks. Fully developed, just very tiny. He had Joe's feet and hands and of course Joe's nose....it was a wonderful memory and we will never forget him. The hospital staff and my obstetrician were supreme and I thank God for them everyday. We now pray for healing and understanding. We did find out that the baby's umbilical chord was abnormal (clamped several times in different areas) and this may have cut off the oxygen supply and nutrients that were vital to his living and growth. Doctor has assured both Joe and I that this is very rare and it had nothing to do with anything we did, ate or didn' t do. He also stressed that this had absolutely NOTHING to do with my gastric bypass surgery. We are still very much in shock, but we are very happy to have the memories of Devin that we do. We know that he is not suffering and he is in a beautiful place. Thank You All, again, for ALL your outpouring support, love and friendship. All Our Love, Joe, Jackie and girls PS....we did tell the girls in the simplest terms, but of course, they don't quite understand. In time they will.
