Day Seven: Never Say Never (Part Two)I called the Doctors office, they scheduled a time for me to come in, and he told me I needed to go to a specialist as there appeared to be a problem. I was referred to a neonatal specialist. She ran the wand over my belly, telling us what image represented what “part” of our baby: head, heart, etc. When she concluded the scan she stated very matter of factly: “I’m sorry, your baby is going to die” We were in disbelief…"what?" "This fetus has polycystic kidneys and cannot survive, I’m sorry” and she recommended I make an appointment with Dr. George Tiller (1 of 3 clinicians nationwide to preform late-term abortions) and abort my pregnancy. I immediately had to go to the bathroom, I felt like I was going to vomit, as if I’d been punched in the gut. I don’t even remember leaving. Reflecting back on that experience I was probably in shock. After that appointment I began to research and read all I could about polycystic kidneys, and discovered that Lomalinda Hospital in San Diego did kidney transplants for the condition. This led me to seek another opinion and ultimately fly to Denver to see another specialist. -Anonymous To Be Continued... (Tomorrow)
