Born Dead

My Mom came home from work today on time; which was odd as she said she come in early and we'd Girls Night Out at an arts festival.
Needless to say we didn't go. But it took about an hour to ascertain the reason why. She said she had a bad day at work and didn't feel like going out. Why? .....

She was called to check on a woman in labor, well, more than likely, see to the child, (she's a pediatrician). The hear monitor looks good and lil'miss Mama is told to push. The baby comes out with no vitals, pale and with skin already peeling.

Turns out the lil'miss Mama to be had removed the baby's heart monitor sometime last night, so it was the mothers' the doctors kept seeing.

Did I mention lil'miss Mama is 16?

Why baby continue having (or trying) babies, is beyond me. Who takes a heart monitor OFF? How can you refuse to think at such a level?

Lilmiss Mama was in so much shock she had to be sedated to sleep, and I'm sure it wont be much better for her tomorrow. To think that an action a small and ultimately frivolous as removing a piece of medical equipment cost someones life.........


-Prayers to those in Minnesota who were affected by the bridge that collapsed.

Awwh! Poor mlil'miss Mama and her baby.
Am sure she didnt mean to kill the baby.
Her action may have been careless but not frivolous(at least i dont think so).

have a great weekend dear.

That's so sad,only lil miss mama will know the reason why she removed the monitor.I seriously want to believe she didn't do it on purpose.
The Minnesota bridge incident is really scary to think about.
Have a lovely weekend

Hey! Crazy blog you've got here. You posted a comment on mine. It said "Something tells me I'll be back". Just wanted to know how you found it in the first place 'cos I only gave the link to two people. Haven't bothered to do much "advertising" :D. Anyway this is good stuff. Adios.
