The Given Family
The longest week and wait ever
The longest week and wait ever
For the first 39 weeks of her pregnancy, all signs pointed to a “normal” birth for Emilie Given and her son, Edward Jack (EJ). But, in mid-August of 2016, she spiked a 103-degree fever, and all that she had thought would be true for her suddenly became much different.
Emilie had developed a bacterial infection, which led to a series of emergency medical interventions: A C-section, a newborn with an undetectable heartbeat, maternal sepsis, emergency surgery, and failing lungs, liver, and kidneys.
24 hours after he was born, Emilie met her son on FaceTime. Seven days after her emergency C-section, she held him in her arms. For the first time.
Emilie struggled to bond with EJ. She suffered terrifying nightmares from her time in the hospital and was diagnosed with post-partum depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. She had access to medication, therapy, and family support groups not all mothers do. She wants all mothers to know what it feels like to heal with strong support. The March of Dimes makes that possible.
