Aiden's Story Begins


First ultrasound picture showing the omphalocele.
We found out on March 1, 2010 at 18 weeks gestation via ultrasound that our baby had an abdominal wall defect.  My OB doctor quickly referred us to Jackson, MS for further testing which included an amniocentesis, fetal MRI, and a fetal echocardiogram. The tests revealed that Aiden had a giant omphalocele that contained the liver, stomach, and some of his intestines.  The rest of the pregnancy involved frequent tests evaluations in Jackson. We are so thankful we were referred to University Medical Center in Jackson. All the doctors and nurses have been wonderful.
