Late Thursday night/Friday morning October 17th, Ruth awoke scared her water had broken. It was much worse. Matt dialed 911, Mom fainted. The paramedics found over 2000 cc's of blood trailing from the bed to the bathrooom. An ambulance took Ruth to the nearest hospital.

Mom (Ruth) suffered a placental abruption, and 2/3 of her placenta tore from the womb. She lost 35-50% of her blood at home and on the ambulance ride to the hospital. Dr. S removed our child through emergency c-section and then removed the placenta which showed signs of placenta acretta. Ruth was in surgery/recovery for over 4 hours.

Ruth had 4 units of blood and IV antibiotics through October 18th.

John is ahead of the curve for a 30-week old preemie. He now breathes without assistance of any kind and is in an open crib regulating his own temperature.
