Hi everyone! As most of you know, Emily and Chris welcomed their sweet baby girl, Ellie, into the world on July 15. Emily had an unplanned C-section due to unexplained pain and discomfort but it was successful overall. Ellie had to spend a week in the NICU but is home now, happy and healthy as could be. Emily continued to experience extreme pain and discomfort while recovering in the postpartum unit. As her symptoms worsened she was rushed into emergency surgery on July 18. It was discovered that her bowel was necrotic and strangulated. Emily proceeded to have 3 more surgeries the following few days. She spent 12 days in the ICU until her situation was stable enough to transition to a regular floor, this past Saturday (July 30). Emily will remain admitted for another week or two to monitor her wound management and regain strength to return home. The Freeman’s have a lengthy recovery road ahead of them including home health, home therapy, and TPN maintenance.

All this to say, that the Freeman family could truly use your help. Countless people have reached out asking what they can do for our family and in addition to prayers, the Freeman’s would greatly appreciate some financial support. The funds would help with medical bills and raising a newborn as Emily recovers from this life altering event. Thank you so much in advance! What a mighty God we serve!
