It’s our turn. Induction planned!

When we went weekly control yesterday, Dr. Yanik informed us about a planned induction on Monday, July 3. This date is 37w+6d of gestation. That was very surprising for us. Because we were not expecting an early delivery. Everything was going normal. Dr. Yanik said that some reasons for this decision were convenience of NICU and being upon reguest by administrator of NICU because of his near vacation. We know that they had only one High Frequency Oscillation Ventilator and no ECMO (which is just nowhere in Turkey!) And dr. said one more baby has been diagnosed, coming from Konya (another big Anatolian city). The baby’s dad is a chemistry professor at Konya Selcuk University.

We have only 11 days! Getting more stressed. Yesterday evening we bought Medela breast pump. We want to have everything ready in the beginning for these tough days. Any idea or extreme reminder for us do you have? Please keep up your prayers for us and other families fighting CDH.

Love,
Aytekin.

Prayers are with you two and Baby Mert. Kylie was also going to be a planned delivery, but she chose to come a little earlier than the planned date. Take care and rest up. I know this is a hard time for you all but Baby Mert has so many people thinking and praying for him.

Lauren also forgot to tell you to take lots of hand lotion. Hospital soap and antibacterial gel can be awfully hard on your hands. Mine were red and chapped the whole time. Seriously, go in there thinking he will survive and never let go of hope. Our prayers are with you.

Aytekin and Emel,
I agree with Lauren to take plenty of photos especially on the day he is born because Emel will not remember much because of all the painkillers. One of my big regrets is that I didnt take many photos and they are all I have now. Also trust your instincts, stay positive and never lose hope because our babies are stronger than we think and most of the time even the doctors cannot predict the baby's outcome. Make sure you both get plenty of rest and look after yourselves especially in the early days because Mert will need you to both be strong and it is easy to become overwhelmed and exhausted.

I have little Mert in my thoughts and prayers.

Love Jenny

Lots of positive restful thoughts to you--positive for Mert's arrival and fight and restful for now--sleep, relax, enjoy the outdoors, those things will not be plentiful once your hospital journey begins! I have great hope for baby Mert. Lots of love to you!
