A Little Miracle - The Story of Ashlyn Melcher

- Ashlyn Melcher was born at Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children with a rare case of Hydrops Fetalis, excessive fluid in her body and lungs. Her parents, Jeff and Kristen, were airlifted from Maui to Oahu by Kapiolani's Critical Care Transport Team after learning their baby had a one percent chance of living. "As soon as Ashlyn was delivered they performed her first surgery right then and there in front of us in the delivery room," said Jeff Melcher.
Ashlyn was cared for in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for 99 days while undergoing a number of surgeries to help her survive. Following the Melcher family's return home, their daughter has grown up to be a very active and athletic young girl. Kapiolani's pediatric specialty care saved Ashlyn's life and her case has since been a breakthrough for other babies with similar cases at the hospital.
I am even more proud to say that this is my friend. I love you Ashlyn!
Glory to Almighty GOD now and forever🙌🙌 May GOD bless all the families that go through this and help all the babies go through this in JESUS Mighty name Amen and Amen!🙏❤

@@mrs.c5265 sorry I never replied. Sadly my baby girl Saoirse passed away in my arms after 12 hours of fighting
My friend.... you don't know the goosebumps and watery eyes I have. I'm so glad you both were optimistic of the situation. I'm glad things worked out as God plans. I thank you for sharing this with me. God Bless my brother
Wow!!! I am feeling hopeful for my baby after watching this. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
did your baby make it?
thank you for sharing, im currently undergoing the same thing in my pregnancy and it's so tough because there's always so much uncertainties and decisions to make, but yes will continue to trust God!
hey what's the update
My hydrops baby turned 2 yesterday. He was born at 24 weeks and 2 1/2 lbs with all the fluid build up.
How is he doing now? Health issues? I am currently going through the same thing w my pregnancy
@@brisagutierrez7425 I am going thru the same... The doctors advise me to terminate the pregnancy... I am so confused
@@brisagutierrez7425 Can u pliz tell me how yours went???
@@yellowrose9867 I’m 27 weeks pregnant, my baby is still full of fluid, grows are he grows. I decided to do what’s possible for him. His heart is still beating at a good rate, he moves ALOT! They also suggested termination but in my POV I feel that if he’s still trying, I will too! They are looking to try induce me @ 34 weeks, & started monitoring my pregnancy every week in case he needs to come out anytime before that. His chances are very low & this is all hard n scary, but I really do have faith & hope. I am so sorry to hear that you are also going through this. As a mother you will make the right decision & don’t feel guilty for choosing any decision. Meanwhile, keep your head up, try to maintain a positive mindset, babies feel our emotions & it helps a lot trying to keep yourself from depression.
@@brisagutierrez7425 Thank you so much for replying, I pray a miracle happens to both our babies and they survive...i am still thinking about it and inshaAllah I will make a good decision for both me and the baby, Thannx again
Wow!!!! I went though the same with my daughter
I'm crying rembering if my first baby girl lived she could be the same age as her now
I was just told my Twin A has this so there is hope she will be ok
can i ask you a question? does the ultrasound of your baby had a findings of thickened nuchal fold?
Umm ok
Glory to Almighty GOD now and forever🙌🙌 May GOD bless all the families that go through this and help all the babies go through this in JESUS Mighty name Amen and Amen!🙏❤
