I had an Emergency C-Section

March 11, 2014

I had to have an emergency c-section at 9:51 after they couldn't find Addison's heart rate. She is in the nicu in critical condition and I am in the high risk unit. Prayers are greatly appreciated.

Catherine Doerr: As many prayers as you need!!!

Chelsea Yancey: What hospital are you guys at?

Deborah Paulukaitis: Prayers going up immediately. (She's at Gwinnett Medical. I'm assuming the Women's Pavilion.) Emily, yours and Addison's names are on the prayer roll at the Atlanta and Salt Lake Temples...

Jessica Snider: Praying for a quick recovery...as soon as they let you get up and walk around...walk!!' It will help you recover.

Chelsea Johnston: I am so sorry!! You and Addison are definitely in my prayers!

Tabitha Weiler Armstrong: Praying for both of you. Your sweet little one is in excellent hands--the NICU at Gwinnett Medical is among the very best there is, and the staff are amazing. Hopefully they'll wheel you down to see her soon. In the meantime, try not to worry about her. I know that's close to impossible, but she really and truly is being cared for by the very best nurses and doctors. I hope and pray your recovery is quick and smooth, as well. Hugs, sweet friend!

Lisa Cornish Kotter: How scary! I'm so sorry you had to go through the stress of an emergency C-section and not finding the heartbeat. I was so worried when they whipped David out of my arms in the delivery room and didn't update us for hours and hours. Then he had to spend a week on a ventilator while his lungs developed and then another week in the NICU learning to eat. It was hard on us emotionally and physically, but he got great care, as I'm sure Addison is getting. I feel so blessed to live in a time and place where such good medical care is available for mothers and babies. We will keep praying for you and Addison.
