Woman Gives Birth to Special Baby - Doctors are Shocked After DNA Test
Karen felt that her labor was starting, so her husband, Frank, immediately drove her to the hospital. After 48 hours of labor, the moment had finally arrived. As soon as the baby was born, it was whisked away. Karen was told that they needed to conduct some tests to check the baby's condition. After a few hours, the doctor returned.
"I'm sorry."
The doctor's pale face had now turned red, and he found it difficult to look Karen or her husband in the eye. Finally, they would find out if the newborn was alright, but all the doctor could say was, "I'm sorry..."
The doctor explained to the parents that they needed to conduct further tests. Karen couldn't contain herself anymore; she desperately wanted to hold her baby in her arms. The doctor explained that it was too risky at that moment and he needed to find some answers first.
Karen's Plea
Karen begged to see her baby. In that moment, the doctor couldn't fulfill her wish. He couldn't even answer the simplest questions, which visibly angered Frank. Frank warned the doctor that no one would stop him from seeing his baby.
Frank went to the newborn station and looked around. The doctor hadn't expected this and now had to restrain Frank with a security team. Frank eventually calmed down but was asked to leave the hospital. Karen had to stay there.
Karen was questioned
Karen was taken to another room. She asked where her husband had gone, as he had been sent home. Karen had to stay longer; they needed more information to successfully help the child.
Karen was asked questions about her pregnancy, which she found strange at first. What did all of this have to do with her baby's condition? The nurse explained that it was important to be able to treat the baby. Karen had no idea it was that serious.
Is Frank the father?
Karen was asked if she was sure that Frank was the father. Karen was shocked. How could they question this? Of course, Frank was the father. The nurse felt that Karen was hiding something from her. Karen hadn't told the whole story.
Karen began to cry as she was under pressure and had just given birth. Her pregnancy had been tough. She really didn't want to talk about it at that moment - would it put her child in danger?
Not wanting to share her story
The nurse explained to Karen that she didn't have to share her story. She assured her that she also didn't have to be afraid. Everything they discussed would remain between them. This helped Karen to open up a little.
Karen struggled to put everything into words. She had led a wild lifestyle before meeting Frank. She had drunk a lot and had often been out partying, but Frank had shown her a quieter life. Suddenly, she became pregnant.
Pregnancy
During pregnancy, she had often felt abdominal cramps that she couldn't explain. The doctors had reassured her that everything was fine. Karen thought it was normal. Had the doctors overlooked something?
When the nurse examined the tests that the doctors had ordered, she noticed something peculiar. Some parts of the information were missing, as if they had been removed from the file. They needed to urgently clarify the matter.
Karen still hadn't seen her baby
Karen still hadn't realized what was really happening. The nurse had called the doctor back into the room and now asked about the missing test results. Whoever had conducted the tests had been fired two weeks ago - was this a clue?
The doctor continued to assure Karen that the baby was doing well so far. They just needed to determine if it could be taken out of the premature baby unit without any problems. The child was a special case in the hospital. Karen was told that it should stay in the hospital overnight.
Karen Spends the Night
Karen decided that it was best to stay as close as possible to her baby and cooperate with the doctors. Karen had something else planned that she had never spoken to anyone about before.
Naturally, Karen's door was not locked, and she decided to leave her room and search for her baby. She couldn't bear to be separated from him any longer. She felt like a part of her was missing.
Sneaking around
Karen knew where the station with the newborn babies was, and when the nurses finished their last round, she slipped away. Finally, she would get some answers. Adrenaline rushed through her veins. She was almost there.
Karen had to be careful not to be caught by the night shift staff. She was wearing hospital attire, and anyone would recognize her as a patient. Then she saw the room with the babies. There was only one problem - the door was locked.
Karen needed a key card
Karen quickly realized that she needed a key card to enter the room. She had an idea of how to gain access, but she had to be extremely cautious. She was weak, and if someone caught her, she wouldn't be able to run away.
Her only way to obtain a key card was the room with the hospital's surveillance equipment. The room was unoccupied unless there was suspicious behavior or incidents. Miraculously, a key card was sitting right in the middle of the table, and now it was time for Karen to meet her baby.
The baby room
Karen returned to the room with the newborns. She used the key card to open the door, sighing with relief as a green light illuminated. The door swung open, and now she just had to find her own baby. This was difficult because she hadn't met her baby yet.
She walked through the room, looking around. None of the babies seemed to be hers. Then she saw the entrance to a special room. They must be in there. She approached the room and opened the door, which was not locked this time.
Recognizing her baby
As Karen got closer and recognized her baby, she burst into tears. Then a loud sob escaped her, she didn't care if anyone heard. She couldn't control her emotions anymore. Then she heard footsteps approaching.
A doctor and three nurses entered the room, recognizing Karen, who was collapsed next to her baby. Karen was shocked, but the nurses sat down next to her on the floor. The doctor sighed.
Calming Karen down
They didn't want Karen to see her newborn child in this state - the doctors were still searching for answers. The baby was alive, but there were still many explanations they didn't have answers to.
Karen demanded answers. She wanted to know why her child looked the way they did. The doctor had no answer, which only confused her more. The doctor explained that the test results would arrive the next morning. Karen didn't want to believe it.
The doctors sent her back to bed
The doctor tried to send Karen back to her room; she desperately needed some sleep. They gave her a mild sedative and locked the door this time, assuming she would try to escape again in the morning.
Despite the sleep aid, Karen couldn't close her eyes. She thought about her child, who had not been born healthy at all. Her thoughts kept spinning in circles, and all she wished for was for the next morning to come.
Doctors Provide Test Results
Karen's doctor had a concerned look on his face as he entered her room the next day. He also asked Frank to come back to the hospital. He tried to prepare both of them for the news.
Frank, unable to contain his temper, immediately erupted, "What have you done to our child?" The doctor waited until Frank finished his rant and then began explaining.
Karen was certain
Frank was no longer sure if it was even his child and wanted to leave the hospital. Karen took his hand and assured him that it was their offspring. Then she turned to the doctor and requested a DNA test, to which the doctor agreed.
Frank had a DNA sample taken, which confused him a bit, but he agreed nonetheless. The hospital wanted to test not only his DNA but also look for possible answers for the baby.
A few hours later
The doctor informed Karen and Frank that they would have to wait a few hours for the test results. Karen decided to send Frank outside, as he was still angry and couldn't control himself. Then a team of doctors entered the room.
Their doctor held a sealed envelope in his hands, containing the DNA results. The room was filled with nervous tension. What if it turned out that Frank wasn't the father? The envelope was opened.
Frank sweated nervously
The doctors turned to Frank. He began to sweat as it became serious. He read the results very carefully. He had expected a different answer, as the entire medical team had a concerned look.
Karen just wanted to hold her child. This time the doctors agreed, and Karen and Frank were taken to the room with the newborn babies. When Frank saw the child for the first time, he was speechless and responded with many questions.
Without answers
The doctor assured the parents that they were doing everything they could to find answers. Multiple doctors were working on the case, and the child and its unusual DNA were being examined. Ultimately, the doctors decided to take a skin sample from the baby to perform further tests.
Karen couldn't believe what was happening. Suddenly, she had the thought that the child might not be hers. She sat down on the floor and burst into tears. Frank tried to console her, but nothing seemed to help.
Going home
Eventually, Frank and Karen were sent home without their child. Another sleepless night followed because the next day they would find out what was wrong with the baby. The waiting felt eternal.
Both of them waited with their phones in hand. Every minute, the phone could ring and bring good or bad news. Karen stared at the kitchen clock, and the minutes dragged on like molasses. Suddenly, it rang.
Answers
Karen answered, pressed the phone to her ear, and held her breath. Her doctor explained the tests they had conducted. Now that the results were back, they would have to come to the hospital to receive them. Karen and Frank rushed to the car.
On the way to the hospital, Karen trembled with nerves. They hardly spoke because neither of them knew what to expect. The short drive to the hospital felt like hours. Finally, they arrived.
A healthy baby
They entered the doctor's consultation room and took a seat. The nurse immediately brought them their baby. The baby seemed completely healthy. Could the doctor confirm this as well?
The doctor explained that the baby had a particularly rare hair condition. It was not a debilitating disease and would improve over time. Karen and Frank were relieved. It had been confirmed that it was Frank's child, and everything turned out much less severe than expected.
