Updates Thus Far

Josh has been texting and posting Facebook updates since Kari was first admitted to the hospital. Those updates are compiled here:

Hospital update PART 1 for those who haven't heard: Yesterday around 5pm Kari Jackson fell hard on her belly. We rushed to the hospital for an emergency c-section. Our little girl, Margot June, was stillborn as a result of the fall. At 38 weeks, she weighed 7lbs 11ounces and measured 22 inches.
PART 2: Kari then went into critical condition with massive blood loss from the rupture to the placenta. After a blood transfusion and other blood sources, she is now stabilized for the most part and has turned a corner. We were able to spend 12 hours with our beautiful Margot before we said goodbye this morning at 3:30am. Thanks for all your support...
Hospital update: Kari's kidneys continue to worsen, which lends to her body swelling because of little to no urination. We are seeing a specialist in the next few hours and she will go over our options. Her blood levels are good and the overall pain in subsiding. We appreciate all the love and kindness that has been pouring in.
Kidney update: A chest x-ray determined there wasn't fluid building up in her lungs, so that probably means there won't be any dialysis for today. Her kidneys continue to fail, so we need those to recover. the specialist seemed optimistic with kari's age and health that her kidneys would recover. Our much needed inner circle is taking good care of us and stella. We are blessed beyond measure
Kari starts dialysis today because her kidneys are still down. The specialist said with her age and health it may only take 1-2 times before the kidney cells regenerate and it returns to normal. This is what we are hoping for. In the meantime, the dialysis will decrease the massive swelling and clean out her blood. Thanks for your continued support...
