My tragic birth story
I want to start off with our birth announcement. Zaylianna Jordan Nicole Medaris was born at 11:43am on September 11th, 2016. She weighed 6 pounds 1 oz. Shes absolutely perfect and the most precious little girl we've ever laid eyes on. When you have a child its the most incredible day of your life, that day you've anticipated since you saw those 2 pink lines. Everything that first day was nothing but pure bliss, joy, and happiness. We had the missing piece to our hearts, finally. That next morning was not okay. Someone knocks on my room door and a woman walks in saying shes the hospital social worker. She informs me that upon admission I was drug screened, I said yes I know it was clean I don't do drugs.. She said yes your screen was clean, but we also tested your baby and I said okay and I don't do drugs, she then says my daughter tested positive for cocaine. I instantly said that's impossible, and yelled I DONT DO DRUGS, I've never done cocaine in my life. I demanded to be retested and my baby be retested. We were both retested and both clean aside from my retest I was positive for opiates that they gave me while there. She tells me that she still has to call child protective services. I lost it. I haven't cried this much in my life. Ever. I demanded blood and hair drug tests also they said they can't do those. They sent the remainder of the positive screen sample out to another lab who then sent it to a third party lab to be extensively tested further, those results will take 2-5 days. We also have to wait for her meconium screen to come back which will be about the same time. That night I was laying down snuggling my sweet baby girl and a woman from cps, 2 police officers, a hospital security guard, and a nurse from the hospital come in my room and tell us that they are detaining our baby. My 1 day old child. She was ripped from us just as fast as she was born. Because she was only a day old and not released from the hospital yet she was going to be detained to the nursery where we were able to stay with her fully supervised by a nurse until she was discharged. That day was the worst day of my life. I had to put my baby in a car seat and 2 cps workers walked out with my baby. I walked into the hospital pregnant and walked out without my baby. I feel like my baby died I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack. I feel empty, alone, angry,bitter, hatred. I wouldn't wish this feeling or experience upon anyone. We have called news stations and the ACLU to get our story out to get our baby home. Were planning to sue the hospital for this after we get our baby back home. We've contacted a lawyer to help us get our baby home next week when we have court but she requires a hefty deposit before she can take our case. I decided to open up and tell our story. We have court next week on Wednesday at 8:30 am in logansport Indiana, we welcome any and all supporters to come be by our side. You can find and follow my story on Facebook I have a group called justice for zaylianna. I'd love for supporters to follow our page.
