This Pregnancy Broke All Records Which Even Doctors Did Not Believe Changed Medical Hist

At first, it seemed to be a normal ultrasound examination, but suddenly, the doctor noticed something very worrying. He didn’t want to believe the picture on the monitor; the pregnancy of the Perkins took a very dramatic turn. But what did the doctor see? Keep watching if you want to know the history of the Perkins.

For years, the couple, Lauren and David Perkins, had been trying to have a child. Unfortunately, without luck. After several failed attempts, they took a different path; they opted for artificial insemination, and Laura eventually became pregnant. Suddenly, the day of the first ultrasound was here, and the expected parents could hardly wait to see the heartbeat of their child for the first time. It was love at first sight.

When David first saw Lauren, he knew they were getting married. Their first date was a Baylor University football match in 2003. Even then, both were very much in love and became inseparable. Over time, their relationship resembled a fairy tale. They were best friends, gave each other support in difficult times, and worried about each other’s happiness. Finally, they married in 2007 and adopted a dog a few years later in 2010. They called her Maggie, and happiness seemed perfect…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

But Lauren and David longed for a child; they wanted a family to which they could give their full love and grow from it. However, since both were very adventurous and wanted to see the world, they decided to wait with family planning for the time being. They were sure they’d planned for the future. A few years later, Lauren and David were finally ready to start a family. They thought they had covered everything perfectly.

“My dream was always two children, preferably a boy and a girl. They should be about two to three years apart,” Lauren told Today magazine. Nevertheless, not everything went as planned. Similar to many families, Lauren later said, “I think God looked at us and said, ‘You have no idea what’s coming.’”

During these early days, the couple couldn’t wait to finally have a baby and initially tried it naturally. However, they had no idea what to expect. The Perkins waited in vain for a positive pregnancy test. When they wanted a baby all over the world, however, they had no luck. Eventually, they came to the conclusion that something could be wrong.

Although both knew that stress could only be a hindrance in the situation, there was nothing they could do about the excitement and nervousness that was slowly spreading within. Day and night, they wrecked their brains over their problem. Time passed, and it was soon months in which they could not have a child. They tried everything to finally get pregnant.

The couple paid attention to a healthier diet, took vitamins and supplements, with devastating results. Even after months, no pregnancy was recorded. They finally discussed whether they should tell their families. Since both Lauren and David themselves did not know exactly what was going on, they decided not to initiate their family for the time being. This would only mean extra pressure and make it difficult to have a baby.

Even if they didn’t want to make their problem public, their secret ate them up internally. Further unsuccessful attempts followed. In the end, they could not and did not want to keep it a secret anymore. They had to tell their family, if only to find comfort in them. Before that, however, they wanted to have exhausted every possibility and therefore waited.

So, for a total of 18 months, the couple tried to have a child, but success failed to materialize. Lauren and David felt more disappointed than ever. The disappointment and frustration now began to affect their relationship, and they burdened not only themselves but also family and friends. Starting a family of their own now seemed impossible, and they wondered if they would ever hear their own children’s laughter.

“What would life be like without children?” The couple was now incredibly desperate and knew neither in nor out. And so, they decided to seek help from a specialist. After countless attempts, the use of home remedies, and a change in diet, nothing happened. After more than a year, Lauren and David Perkins decided to visit a specialist in artificial insemination.

After long and extensive research, they finally found the specialist they trusted and made an appointment. When they then introduced themselves to this specialist, he carried out a variety of tests and informed them about possible subsequent treatments. However, all of this was very overwhelming for Lauren and David, and the high cost of such a procedure shook them. Therefore, they wanted to think about this problem alone and in peace and then make a decision.

However, they finally initiated friends and family into their secret and hoped for support. After months of futile attempts to get pregnant and consulting a doctor, they simply couldn’t keep their infertility a secret. After a long wait, the Perkins told their family about their complicated situation. Due to the intimate nature of the problem, they could understand it and did not resent the couple.

They began to consult on which treatment would be best. They wanted to take a little more time and thoroughly research the problem before moving on to any medical treatments and surgeries. It’s not surprising that both her loving parents support her in this difficult situation. David’s wife was suffering from depression, and he tried to help her by making her a delicious meal when he came home. When she was still sad, he talked to her for hours and made her feel better. This is the cornerstone of any functioning marriage.

Although it was not always easy at first, after struggling with infertility for a year, Lauren and David Perkins decided to join a mission trip in Nicaragua. A local priestess told them that God had big things planned for them. The couple decided to try again and disregard adoption for the time being. They would now also consider medical treatment or surgery if necessary. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

David and Laura Perkins were trying to get pregnant naturally and via IUI treatment. When the doctor placed the needle in Lauren’s hip, David almost fainted. Only when the doctor had finished the treatment did David breathe normally again. The chance that the IUI would work was just 25%.

So, they returned to the fertility clinic. After a few weeks, Lauren took a pregnancy test and found out she was pregnant. Lauren’s hormone levels were unusually high, which could indicate an error during pregnancy. It could also be a mole pregnancy in which a non-cancerous tumor spreads in the uterus. This was the case with Lauren. After subsequent examinations, they immediately arranged an ultrasound appointment.

After trying in vain for so long to finally have a child, Laura Perkins’ dream had come true. It was a huge surprise for the couple who never thought they’d be able to have more than one child at once. The couple tried to imagine what it would mean to raise six children at a time, but it seemed unimaginable. Despite all the concern, they couldn’t help but look forward to the six pieces.

The Perkins got scared, like most expected parents, when the doctor told them they were expecting their first set of triplets. Due to lack of space in the womb, the nutrient and blood supply for all babies cannot be guaranteed. They were presented with the possibility of aborting some fetuses in order to give the others a better chance of survival. However, this would not be something the couple would ever consider.

Despite all the risks, Lauren and David decided to keep the babies. The weight of her abdomen increasingly caused Lauren back lag and foot pain. Running long distances became more and more of a torment for her. Lauren and David Perkins were preparing for the birth of their six babies when they suddenly went into labor. It was a cesarean section, and the delivery went smoothly. They had three boys and three girls.

After a single pregnancy of 30 weeks, they weighed between 737 and 1332 grams. Despite the special circumstances, the birth went smoothly, Lauren reported. Lauren and David were able to hold their sextuplets for the first time four days after they were born. The baby girl Leia had to stay in the hospital for a few days because she’d been at the bottom of the womb. After four months, the sixlings were finally able to go home.

After five months, the whole family was united, even though Leia had to fight harder than her other siblings. She remained tough and persevered. The operation went well, and soon Leia was on her way home. The Perkins were overwhelmed by the support they received. Many also helped with the house preparations for the additional care of baby Leah.

The first Christmas for the Perkins’ pack of six tuplets was spent with their parents, Lauren and David. The six siblings were healthy, and all six siblings seemed to have a unique bond. Lauren decided to publish her experience as a mother of sixlings by opening a blog called “Perkins Six-Pack.” In it, she describes the special everyday life as a mom of six children.

Kenny and Bobby McCaughey welcomed seven sweet babies into their family on November 19, 1997. Today, the six pieces are seven years old, and the Perkins pack is happier than ever. The names of these angels are Nathan, Brandon, Natalie, Alexis, Kelsey, Joel, and Kenny Jr.

The Vicari family has been shaped in history by the birth of seven babies, and they made it into the headlines for various newspapers. They received thousands of letters from different parts of the world to show their support and love for them. Kenny and Bobby McCauley got a call from President Bill Clinton, one of the most iconic figures in the United States. The president congratulated the two and invited the whole family to stop by the White House.

Iowa decided to give the sevenlings full scholarships at state universities of their choice once they reached college. Gerber Products Company donated many packages containing baby food that they could hold for a year. Procter & Gamble donated access to a lifetime supply of diapers.

Kenny and Bobby McCauley already had their first child before they gave birth to the seven babies. They decided to find different ways to increase income in order to raise all their children. One way was to release an album full of lullabies, and another was to publish a book. Kathie Lee Gifford, along with other artists, decided to work in the Christian music industry to sing a few songs.

Kenny and Bobby McCauley’s former home had seven bedrooms and five bathrooms, totaling 5,500 square feet. Their old home was to be converted into a home that would provide protection and support for young girls who were experiencing an unplanned pregnancy. The couple now lived in a simpler three-bedroom house.

Kenny Jr. shared his experience with a large family when he turned 18. Kelsey decided to take a course on public relations that dealt with how to pass on information from an authoritative person to a specific audience. Thanks for reading.

6-Year-Old Boy Left In Coma After Being Sent Home From School With Headache

Published

Ellis Artist of Clayton, West Yorkshire was living a normal, 6-year-old life when everything went downhill.

One night, Ellis woke up in pain and screaming to his parents, 37-year-old Paul Artist and 34-year-old Sarah Girdwood.

His head and neck were in tremendous pain and he began to vomit profusely.

This all happened after a minor illness, which he seems to recover quickly from earlier that day.

Ellis’ parents rushed him to a nearby hospital, and a rash started to develop.

First, doctors thought it was meningitis, but antibiotics didn’t help and Ellis was mumbling and moaning in his sleep, unable to wake up…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Doctors then performed an MRI scan.

The resulting diagnosis was shocking and horrifying: acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, or ADEM.

This extremely rare condition causes brain swelling, and Ellis now has repeated seizures as a result.

ADEM is a little-understood disease that can begin from even a small infection.

It causes negative reactions to the white matter of the brain, which then affects the body’s immune system.

The result is a severe allergic reaction that involves attacking the immune system and the eroding of nerves’ protective layers.

This condition tends to affect different people in different ways, meaning it is usually impossible for doctors to provide an accurate prognosis – as is the case with Ellis.

75% of those who develop AEDM are able to recover fully, but the remainder may develop significant impairments and disabilities as a result. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

It is unsure whether Ellis will recover, how severe his condition is, or if he will have any long-term effects from it.

After the AEDM diagnosis, Ellis was placed in a medically-induced coma and rushed to the Leeds General Infirmary.

A week later, another scan revealed that the swelling was no longer just in Ellis’ brain – it was beginning to make its way down his spine.

He was also having mini-seizures due to the brain swelling. But it’s not all bad news – after a while of being on a ventilator, Ellis is able to breathe on his own again.

The Sick Children’s Trust has put up Ellis’ family, including his three brothers, the youngest of which still doesn’t know what is really happening to Ellis.

Ellis, meanwhile, is still in a coma with his parents by his bedside as he receives the 24/7 care that he needs.

It is still unknown whether Ellis will recover fully or not, but doctors are doing everything they can to provide information to his worried family.

It’s expected that Ellis will be at the hospital for at least a couple of months, and will then need constant care at home once he is able to leave.

In order to ease the financial strain, family and friends, as well as Ellis’ school Clayton St John CE Primary School, have been working hard to raise funds for the family.

Ellis is a strong, tough boy and everyone is rooting for him and hoping for his recovery.

A fundraiser for the family with a £5,000 target goal has been set up, and around 92% of funds have been raised at the time of writing.

If you’d like to donate to the cause, you can do so at their JustGiving page.

Did An Angel Save Girl From Dying In Hospital?

Losing a child can be a devastating event, no matter what age.It is, however, universally agreed upon that it is worse when the child is lost at such a young age.

Sadly, this sort of early death is expected for some families, due to the circumstances that their child is involved in.

Despite the advancement of modern medicine, there are still plenty of children who suffer from severe health problems from either a young age or even from birth. These children are often predicted to not survive very long.

In a way, their passing can be considered them finally having rest and relief from their life, which has been an uphill battle all the way…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Most of these children and their families, however, find themselves with plenty to live for.

They fight, they strive, and they try to use everything at their disposal to push forward and see another day.

Alas, this is a war, and sometimes, the inevitable happens.

In the case of North Carolinian Chelsea Banton, she wasn’t expected to see her third day.

A premature baby born five weeks early, Chelsea had a major problem – she had to deal with excessive fluids creating pressure against her brain.

The doctors gave her at most 36 hours to live.

However, the baby girl would defy all odds, and would live to grow up.

Her life, however, did not get any easier after that first major hurdle.

The girl would spend the following 14 years of her short life fighting against one health problem after another.

Infections, life-threatening viruses, fluid retention, shunt revisions, hydrocephalus – you named it, she suffered it at some point.

In the fall of 2008, Chelsea was struck by yet another round of advanced pneumonia, which had developed from a bad cold she caught. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

This latest bout of illness seemed to be the last one she could handle – the girl was forced to stay in the hospital for seven weeks, completely dependant on life support.

It was at this point that Colleen Banton, her mother, was forced to make a heartbreaking decision.

In the interest of not prolonging her daughter’s suffering, she opted to keep the ventilator off the next time her daughter was strong enough to breathe on her own.

It was essentially plugging the plug for the girl – by this point, Colleen had decided that should her daughter’s time had come, then there was no use in delaying the inevitable.

While praying with friends and family who had come out to support this mother, Colleen was suddenly called over to a nearby monitor by the pediatrician nurse.

There, her attention was directed to the bright light that had appeared in front of the door to the pediatrician unit.

Astonished, Colleen took a quick photo of it with her camera, then went to check this strange light in person.

Oddly enough, it wasn’t there physically.

A miracle occurred shortly thereafter – three days later, Chelsea was well enough to return home once again.

Colleen is convinced that the figure was an angel who helped her daughter.

Chelsea would then go on to live for another 7 more years before passing away in 2015, at the age of 21.

Her story is one for the ages!
