Thomas

The doula was in a waiting area. I was obviously preoccupied with Theo and luckily things were progressing well with him. At this point, things start to slow down. It's a few hours later and I'm talking to Kristen's mom on the phone. Everything happened so quick and it happened in the afternoon that no one had really been able to come up and see us.

They're just kind of getting updates from over the phone. And I said something to the effect of, Kristen is still in surgery. And Her mom, who happens to be a nurse, was like, what do you mean she's still in surgery? I was like, yeah, you know, just assume that they'll come get me when she's out, that no one's came to get me yet. She's like, Thomas, that is not normal. That is not right.

This has been three hours. Something is wrong. You need to go find out. That was a big turning point, realizing that not only has my son been put in grave peril, but also my wife. It was actually not long after that, that I did get called down and I did get to meet Dr. Fuller for the first time. I had been in her office and obviously she had taken care of Kristen.

She was the one that drove Kristen to the hospital and subsequently operated on her as well. But this would be the first time that I would meet Dr. Fuller and it's now probably eight something at night. So it's been over three hours since Theo was born.

She was very calm and basically just explained that Kristen had not woken up. They believed that she may have had some seizures, but at this point she was still out, which was not normal. So they were transferring her now to neurological ICU to be monitored. I got to actually walk from the OR with her on a stretcher and a team of doctors and nurses around her.

And we walked through the maze of this big hospital up to a neurological ICU. I remember her hands kind of tremoring a little bit and her eyelids trembling a little bit. I was told that she had been having seizures on and off at this point, three, four hours after Theo was born. I remember them moving her from the stretcher to an actual hospital bed. She was just completely out.

The doctor had me come over and speak to her. And I took her hand. And I remember Dr. Fuller saying, Kristen, your honey's here. I said, Kristen, I'm here. This is Tommy. I'm here with you. At that point, she did kind of start to open her eyes. And some of the doctors at first were like, she's just having seizure and voluntary action.
