Update on NC

Update #2***
I just talked to Sam. Tarrah is still groggy, but she is holding their no-name baby boy. She is being given blood/fluid since her blood pressure is still low.
The reason for the bleeding was a tear in her uterus. It was partially stuck to her bowels, so she began bleeding into her abdominal cavity. Unfortunately, they had to take out her uterus and cervix (hysterectomy). For any of you who know Tarrah, this will be a really tough time for her. Keep her in your prayers. We just are so thankful that God allowed this pregnancy to go to term, and the baby is so healthy. May He bless all of you.


Update****
Tarrah has come out of surgery, and is in a recovery room sleeping. The doctors were able to stop the bleeding. Keep praying for them. I'm sure she'll blog when she's ready, but she will be in the hospital for a few days. If she gives me the go-ahead, I'll give you more information soon.


A beautiful baby boy was born this morning. He has blond hair and blue eyes, and looks like his dad. He came out at 8lbs 10oz.
Tarrah was losing blood after the birth, so had to have emergency surgery. We don't know the outcome yet, but will keep you updated.
Please pray for Sam's strength and Tarrah's recovery.

Sally,
We are some of Sam and Tarrsh's friends from Vermont. Please keep your blog updated so we can know what is going on. I am praying for all of them and am so excited about the new addition. Does he have a name yet?

Hi Sally,
I am Tarrah's friend from Washington. Just know that we are praying for them. I am glad you posted an update. I heard she went into surgery, but had not heard an update, so thank you.

How is the family holding up? Again I am praying.
