Gennesse’s Story
Saturday March 19th Gennesse was sitting at her kitchen table making her grocery list. When she started hurting in her tummy. Gessy was 30 weeks and 5 days along in her pregnancy. She decided she would go to the bathroom to make sure she wasn’t bleeding. As she left the bathroom her pain intensified. She barely made it to her recliner as Trey came running out to see if she was okay. Which she responded no I’m not okay! The pain got so horrific she was screaming. Trey called an ambulance and they transported her to Davis hospital where her OB doctor and team worked to get her stable. They Life Flighted her to the big IMC hospital where her specialist was. Because of what happened when she had Briya we were already on high alert because we were told that she had placenta accrete. If the placenta by chance had torn she would have bled out and died in 10 minutes. I will never ever forget as Light Flight was moving her to the bed to take her she was screaming because the pain was horrific. It was unbearable to hear. I had to plug my ears and bury my head as I sobbed because there was nothing I could do! Once she was on Life Flight we grabbed her husband and drove him to the IMC. My son Gessy’s nephew left work and waited at the helicopter pad for her to land. We got there right behind them. After that it was a complete tornado and nightmare of events that happened. As we waited while they were working on her and the baby I just didn’t think I was going to make it. They pulled my parents, Trey’s parent’s and me into an ICU room to tell us that Marcy didn’t make it and that they didn’t know with mom if she was going too. They were working on her and we had to wait for 4 hours to hear if she was okay and alive. They brought out baby Marcy in to hold and as they handed her to Trey the pain and agony was more than I could bare! I couldn’t stop asking why? Why? did God take her other little girl as well. I was mad and couldn’t not even wrap my head around this and then the waiting to see if my sister would live is a day I NEVER want to relive. Then her doctor Dr Hammod came in and detailed the extent of Gessy’s trauma to her body. I couldn’t stop crying because I was so scared and our mom and I kept saying, “What are we going to do!” The extent of Gessy’s trauma was that she didn’t have placenta accrete which if it had been that she would have died. If Life Flight had not gotten her there when they did she would have died. If the medical team had not been highly trained and had not worked aggressively on her she would have died. She did die and they brought her back. The medical team worked on her it seemed like forever to get her stable enough to go in and get the baby. Her blood pressure leaving Davis Hospital was 50/28 she was bleeding internally and fast. She lost 6 pints of blood and we only have 7. She crashed on the table and the team brought her back. When they were finally able to get to opening her, her abdomen was filled with blood and the baby was just lying there. Her uterus had split in half. No wonder my poor sister was screaming out in horrific pain. They worked to try and save the Uterus but could not stop the bleeding and decided to save Gennesse they had to do a hysterectomy. I sat in the room adjacent to the ICU room with my parents, Treys parents and Chris, Nick, Kyla and Ethan waiting. When they brought Marcy May in my heart hurt so bad watching her daddy hold his second daughter that had passed and just sobbing. It truly was unbearable!! I was mad, but once I held that sweet baby angel and looking at her beautiful perfect body. I knew Heavenly Father took her because she was to special to have to live in this evil evil world and that our Heavenly Father and family needed her on the other side to help us as a family get back to our Father in Heaven to be a family forever! When I was able to see Gessy she little color in her face, but still looked not good. They did blood draws all night to make sure sHe was not bleeding internally. We left at this time because I thought I was either going to pass out or throw up. The following morning as I walked in and saw my sister had color in her checks and was going to do okay. I fell apart again. Throughout the day she became more alert. Mom, her and I talked to her and she shared many spiritual experiences and tender Mercy’s. We cried we giggled a bit thanks to her hubby and mine. As I talked with Trey I was told they would not get the life insurance they got with Briya because Marcy died before they could get her out besides that Trey would not get his maternity leave to take care of Gessy and Charles. I couldn’t believe it and didn’t know how they were going to pay to bury their baby, pay hospital, ambulance , life Flight and the IMC hospital bills. I decided I needed to set up a Go Fund Me for them to see if anyway we could eliminate part of their burdens so Gessy could heal and they could bury their daughter next to their other daughter. I didn’t know how Trey was going to be able to be with her for 6 weeks. She is not able to do anything but heal. Her body had been to death and back literally. I pray that as I share Gessy and Treys story that we will be able to help them financially and be a support physically for them during this time of anguish for them. They will need us! We Love you Gennesse, Trey, Charles, Briya and Marcy. I know with every fiber of my being that I will see them again!
