As some of you may know, I am an only child and as such, I have taken it upon myself to turn my friends and their families into my pseudo-siblings, parents, grandparents, etc. Well, Jamie, the bestie, is as close to a sister as I will ever have (she truly is considered a 2nd daughter by my parents) and her family really is my 2nd family. Because of her I have a pseudo-big sister (Katie), pseudo-little brother (Sean), 2 crazy pseudo-parents (Mama and Papa A) and 2 wonderful pseudo-grandparents (Mom-mom and Pop-pop).
Katie's water broke at 2 AM this morning and after getting to the hospital and realizing that the umbilical cord was showing, she was rushed into an emergency C-section. The placental tear that caused this was close to a vein and Baby Jake was losing blood. He was rushed to the pediatric ICU and from there transfered to the Children's Hospital. His father went with him, and doctor's are hoping to transfer Katie there some time this morning so the family can be together.
Jake is currently fighting for his life. So, please keep Baby Jake, Katie and the entire family in your thoughts and prayers this morning; they need it.

Erin, it's Katie Wagner.. I can't get them out of my mind and I KNOW he will make it! That family is so tough he has to have a part of that in him. I'm thankful too that they all are together, its much needed. Have you heard any other updates?
ReplyDeleteHey katie!
ReplyDeleteSo far I've heard that he's had 2 blood transfusions (Paul wasn't 100% on that, but he's had at least 1) and that the doctor's are worried. Katie was moved to the adjacent hospital and Jamie flew in this morning, so the whole family is together. I guess it's really just a wait and see game. The entire family is amazing at banding together and supporting each other, so I don't think Jake could ask for more love and strength; let's just hope he has that Atwell stubbornness like the rest of them!
I know he WILL have the stubborness that lies within them! Jamie texted me said he is ADORABLE and did some arm loving with him! That put a tear in my eye! Well let me know if you hear anything else I'll do the same. Take care!
ReplyDeleteYea, she said that he has Katie's nose and Seth's toes...I can only imagine how adorable he is!! I will make sure to let you know if I hear anything more, and same to you please. Between this and PMS I've basically been a basket case all day, so I say bring on the tears!
ReplyDeleteSending prayers your way! Babies are so tough- even the newest ones, it's really amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!! That is so scary, I will be praying and please keep us updated!
