Final autopsy report

Dr. B said that we didn’t learn anything new from it. Again, that wasn’t the point of getting the autopsy done. I wanted it done so the doctor’s could possible find a way to prevent the bleeding in the future. Dr. B used a big word that starts with an N that means that he had dead tissue in his brain.  I’m assuming that it means it died before he did because…well…wouldn’t it all be dead after he passed? Anyway, I was going to google that word so I could sound smart on here. The first search result came up as how to perform infant autopsy.  Chris made me put the lap top away because he knows me and I totally would have clicked on the link.  My mom knows what the word is so hopefully she’ll make a comment on here so I can edit the post. :-) Thanks Stephanie and mom. The word is Necrosis

ETA: I forgot that she did say that there were no abnormalities with his chromosomes.  She did then say that since Aidan is such a cutie that we know all of our babies will be cute. :-)

I don’t know if I’ve said this before, but I love Dr. B! She is huge in my support system and it’s rare to find that in a doctor. She checked on me and wanted to find out how I’m doing emotionally. I have to see a specialist because of one of my test results came back positive and Dr. B said that she’ll give me a call with the results to explain how it may affect future pregnancies.
I love you Aidan Christopher!
