Hi, my name is Nicole and my boyfriends name is Derek. I am 35 weeks pregnant and at 32 weeks we received some devastating news. Our unborn child Aiden has fluid in the ventricles in his brain. I was sent to Cincinatti Children's Hospital and had a fetal MRI done. The results of that weren't good either. Baby Aiden has a blood clot in the back of his head due to Thrombosis of the Fetal Torcular Herophili. It comes from one of the arteries in the brain growing to be to large and it begins to bleed due to it not being strong enough to hold all the blood. There are only 50 documented cases of this in other children. They can't to surgery to remove the fluid because If they remove the fluid then the blood clot could get bigger and vise versa. We have to travel to Cincinnati Children's two weeks before my due date and I am being induced at 39 weeks. We have no idea how long we will be staying in the hospital afterwards because they don't know the condition that Aiden will be in once he's born. The loss of Derek's income due to him being up there with me is going to be hard, plus the cost of finding somewhere to stay the whole time we are up there. We are not asking for ourselves, but for Aiden so he doesn't have to spend the first weeks or possibly months of his life alone. Thank you so much for reading and not only money but moral support and information will help so much! Every donation helps and we can't begin to thank you enough for everything. Thank you all so much!
