I got home just a little while ago and Jasmine had left a message for me. Its just so sad and heartbreaking I just want to cry. Kai was admitted to Sinai Hospital last evening, she has very high bilirubin levels, she mostly likely will need a liver transplant, also her spleen and pancreas have been affected. She is Peds. ICU and will be transfer either tomorrow or Monday to University Hospital in downtown Baltimore were the surgery will be done and that is were the specialist will be meeting them, I'm not sure were the specialist is coming from. Jasmine was told by many doctors that she could never carry a baby to full term, when she and Ryan found out they were going to have a baby, it was a the best news, Jasmine had a tough 9 months and was in labor for over 24 hours, Kai was born over 8 pounds and she is just a beautiful baby. Jasmine's doctor thought Kai had food allergies which was causing the elevated levels, so for 4 months this has been going on, Jasmine and her husband are trying to remain upbeat and are staying at the hospital, oh this is so sad. The worst thing is that her parents are snowed in, they live in up state Ohio and can't get out. They are hoping that they can get out next week and either fly or drive to Maryland to be with their daughter and granddaughter, and of course their son-in-law, Ryan. In the mean time I'll be checking in on Maggie, their lab, who I am sure is wondering were everyone is, Maggie is so good with Kai and keeps an eye on her 24/7, its like Kai is Maggie's baby. Please keep the little family in your prayers, they are such wonderful, kind people, its just not fair. I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks so much.
