My best friend's Brandon & Sabrina had their beautiful baby girl Thursday morning, but she came a little early and has a few complications.

Sabrina is extreemely diabetic. She lost a baby last year in her 14th week because her sugar levels went over 850. She spent many days in ICU on several different occasions. This pregnancy was a little different, but it did have several complications and stays in the hospital as well.

The baby's name is Jadin Nickole Hubble and she was born Aug. 9th and weighs 7lbs. 13 oz. She was born almost 4 weeks early and she has been having a lot of trouble breathing on her own. The delivery was a very very difficult one beceause Jadin became lodged at the shoulders and only one arm came out. They had to put the suction cup thing on her head as well as pull on her arm that was out but momma got too tired so two nurses jumped up on the bed with her and started pushing down on her stomache to help push Jadin out while the doctor and nurse pulled.

Jadin was finally born but her respratory rate is shallow and fast, like she's panting. Her head and arm is bruised and she's in an oxygen globe. (that's the space helmet on her head.

They said she wont get to come home unitl at least Wed. so I was hoping that I could get ya'll to pray for her and her momma. Momma was torn up really bad from the delivery, and she's extreemely bruised and hurting, Jadin needs the prayers so she'll get stronger and hear breathing will regulate. She also has an extra hole in her heart that they said may close up on it's own, or she may have to take medication for it.

I've got a couple of pictures that they took for me... only parents and grandparents get to see Jadin since she's in ICU. Sabrina and Brandon hasn't even gotten to hold her yet. She's being fed through a tube in her navel and those monitors help keep an eye on her statistics.

How very scary for them of course we know medical advancements have come so far and that should help alot but I still cant imagine the worry and fear they have. She is a beautiful baby and really ... I needed to see this thread right now really puts life back into perspective..

She will be in my thoughts
 
That is just heart wrenching, I will keep baby Jadin in my prayers as well as her family!
 
Aww this is just soo sad. I will be praying for baby Jadin and her family too.. Makes me sad to see such a lil baby with all those monitors and things.

: praying coming you all way.What a cutie pie.

I pray her and her mother have a quick recovery.
 
Thank you all so much for the good thoughts and prayers...they are working!!!

They started to wean her off of the oxygen yesterday. They were having some trouble with the navel feeding so they had to take that out and start an IV in her arm. I'm not really sure why.

Sabrina got to go see her 3 times yesterday. She still hasn't gotten to hold her because of the monitors and all the other things hooked up to her, but she has touched her leg and baby Jadin started crying when they were leaving to go back to their room.

The doctors say she will be in the hospital until at least Wednesday. I will get to take new photos of her once she's out of the hospital and will post them here.

OH...almost forgot. They said she went through several wet diapers because her body was getting rid of the fliuids that were built up around her heart and head/face....so a lot of the swelling has gone away now. They had to prop her on a sponge because she would not lay on the left side of her head because it's all bruiused and swolled from the suction thing they put on her.

Please keep the prayers and good thoughts coming...they are greatly appreciated. :bgrin

Thank you all SOOO much. Jadin is doing SO much better today. I got to go see her through the nursery glass and she is beautiful. I have new photos I'm going to post, I hope it's ok.

The update is that they discovered after an x-ray that they actually fractured her arm/shoulder when they were pulling her out... they're going to put a brace, possibly a small cast on it later.

They did an ultrasound on her head today because of the bruising. They wanted to make sure there was no bleeding in her head from the suction/pressure and it all checked out fine also.

She has to go to Little Rock on Friday to see a heart specialist beacuse of the hole in her heart. It's possible that they will have to do surgery to repair the hole, but I believe with enough prayer and positive thoughts that they're going to tell her parents that the hole will not be a problem at all.

So far she still gets to come home Wed. and they started bottle feeding her today. She was jaundiced but they had her under ultraviolet lamps and now she's pulled right up out of that too.

I have some of THE cutest pictures of her...

Again...thank you all so very much. When we got home from seeing her yesterday her momma and daddy asked us to pray with them again before we left and they cried so hard it just broke my heart and made me start crying again too.
