On Wednesday July 17, 2024, Rylee was admitted into the hospital for lower abdominal pain and nausea. After further evaluation throughout the night, of her and baby, it was determined she had an appendicitis. The hospital staff in Polson determined that the best care for her and baby would be a transfer to a larger hospital due to the pregnancy and possible complications.
Later that day on July 18, Rylee was moved to Logan Health in Kalispell for further treatment. After many long hours a MRI was conducted and determined severe appendicitis and infection. Rylee and Marcus met with a group of surgeons ranging from general surgery to fraternal medicine, and OBGYN specialist surgeons to come up with the best course of action for surgery and baby.
Approximately at 10 PM that night Rylee went into surgery for appendicitis. Surgery concluded around midnight that night but the battle wasn’t over for Rylee and baby. During surgery Rylee and baby began to struggle and contractions started. Due to baby only being 30 weeks gestation this placed many surgeons and doctors on standby for the worst possible outcome. Doctors also noticed a small cut on the uterus that had to be fixed while the appendix was removed. Thankfully premature birth was avoided and surgery was successful for the appendectomy.
July 19, at around 1:30 am Rylee was moved from surgery to the baby ward for further evaluation and recovery. Rylee and baby both did phenomenal while in surgery and baby even took a nap in the belly while mom was under the blade. Rylee’s husband met with many medical professionals that said her recovery could be lengthy and the next 48 hours could be hectic.
Rylee was monitored non stop throughout the night due to continued contractions and low blood pressure. Nurses and doctors were on standby in case an emergency birth was needed or if baby wanted to see the world early.
After Rylee was able to wake up from anesthesia and a nights sleep the recovery and pain had just begun. Rylee struggled with severe pain from the large incision made and fighting off the infection from the appendicitis. Rylee had to receive a blood transfusion later on in the day to help with low blood pressure and blood loss from surgery.
July 20, Rylee still remains in the hospital but spirits are higher and her beautiful smile has re entered the room for family and friends. Rylee has proven to be a fighter and a warrior for her child and family. Rylee has a lengthy recovery in front of her and many appointments ahead. Rylee was moved to a high risk pregnancy, meaning that baby needs more monitoring and so does mom.
This has put financial strains on the Lindquist family. They both work full time jobs with one being a police officer. This small family isn’t asking for handouts or for pity. They have proven to be strong amongst the chaos.
As friends and family we ask you to support them with whatever amount you can. The money will go to covering the salary of Rylee being away from work which is not covered by work, medical, travel, and bills.
The family will continue to provide updates on recovery and the journey ahead.
