Through a Rough Patch

This is just an update for those of you who are unaware of the scare we had the week after August and Liam were born.

After what seemed to be a fairly quick road to recovery, Cortnie experienced major hemorrhaging that forced us to make an eleven o'clock at night trip to the Mercy Southwest E.R. A fairly serious situation had developed, with the threat of hysterectomy looming due to the seemingly unstoppable bleeding. However, through great effort, the doctors were finally able to stanch the bleeding via a D and C procedure without that harsh worst-case scenario happening.

The great nurses in the Maternal Care unit took care of Cortnie during her recovery from the procedure. We knew them all already and were thankful for their nurturing care.

Cortnie was determined to get back home and made great efforts to recover so that we could leave the next afternoon. She is currently recuperating at home and doing well.

Aren't these two boys worth it? ...

Thanks to all the friends and family that helped get us through this scary time--the emergency midnight baby sitting and delicious home-cooked meals have all been greatly appreciated!
