Hi everyone,
This is Kenny. Some of you have already heard that yesterday was a traumatic day for our family. We’ve been receiving lots of calls from friends who wanted to wish Erin well and who had questions about what happened so I decided to hijack Erin’s blog and let you all know what’s up.
Yesterday morning while I was downstairs I heard a scream from upstairs and ran up to our bathroom to find Erin hemorrhaging. She had Kole in her arms and handed him to me about 10 seconds before she fell on the floor and passed out. Her mom and I quickly called 911 and five minutes later about 10 paramedics were standing over Erin in our bathroom. They couldn’t stop the bleeding and Erin kept going in and out of consciousness so they ultimately threw her on a gurney and we headed to the same hospital that we had just left a week earlier when we had Kole — only this time to the emergency room.
Once we got to the emergency room the surgeon told us that she had already lost about half of the blood in her body and needed to go immediately into surgery or she would likely lose her life. As you can imagine, we were both extremely emotional learning the gravity of the situation. The doctor told us that he would try to do a simple D&C to stop the hemorrhaging but that given how quickly she was losing blood he might need to go directly to a hysterectomy if the D&C didn’t work. They then whisked her away to surgery.
After three long hours the doctor emerged from surgery and told me that the D&C hadn’t worked. They had determined that she was dangerously close to losing her life as a result of the hemorrhaging and had elected to perform the hysterectomy. The hysterectomy stopped the bleeding and, after giving her transfusions of an entire human body’s worth of blood, they had been able to stabilize her. That was the only news I needed to hear.
Erin is recovering in the hospital now. She’ll be here for the next several days and will be recovering at home for weeks after that. She can’t sit up yet and she is in a lot of pain but the worst is definitely behind her. She appreciates all of the thoughtful texts and emails she has received and all of the wonderful friends and family who always go out of their way to stand by her.
Experiences like these remind you never to take what you have — especially your health and the health of your family — for granted. The overwhelming sensation that has overcome us after having gone through the events of this weekend is complete and total gratitude.
We’re so grateful to our Heavenly Father for answering our prayers. We’re so grateful that Erin’s mom hadn’t left town yet (she was hours away from flying home) so she could be with our kids while I looked after Erin. We’re so grateful for the members of our Church and community who were so quick to reach out and offer to help. We’re so grateful that this hysterectomy didn’t happen until after we were able to have three healthy children. And I, for one, am extremely grateful that my beautiful wife is going to be around to grow old with me.
If I know my wife, she’ll be posting updates again as soon as the nurses unhook the 35 IVs and miscellaneous other tubes that would slow down her typing. She’s never been one to let a life threatening illness keep her away from a good blog post.
I have never commented before but am praying for your family and Erin’s recovery. I have enjoyed reading Erin’s blog as I have 2 daugthers of my own and feel like I can relate to so many things she writes about! God is a wonderful God and what a blessing to know that she was protected through all of this. Enjoy your precious family and the newest addition to your family ~
Like Allison, I read the blog all the time, but haven’t commented much. I feel like I know Erin through this blog and it’s just heartbreaking to hear that you all are going through this right now. I will be praying for her speedy recovery and for your whole family as you go though this ordeal.
Sending our love and prayers to you and your family at this time.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I wish Erin a quick and speedy recovery. Sending hugs and love from Wisconsin.
Like Allison and Sarah, I read Erin’s blog all the time. I thoroughly enjoy her views on life, children, decorating and so on. I am glad to know that she is doing better and I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. Kenny I will be praying for you also to give you strength and wisdom through this trying time. What a blessing that her mom is still there with you to help with the children. Please keep us updated.
I’m so glad to hear Erin is through the worst. I can only imagine the scare this put you all through. We’ll be saying lots of prayers for your family and I hope Erin starts feeling better soon. Love you guya!!!
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I can’t even imagine what you’ve all gone through, but like you said we are so blessed to have the gospel in our lives. I pray that Erin has a speedy recovery and you can all be happy at home together soon.
prayers.
Please know that I am praying for you guys during Erin’s recovery. I am so thankful that all the scary stuff is behind you. Thanks for taking time to post an update for all of us.
That was not what I was expecting to read. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I hope the recovery goes as well as possible. Love you guys. Joe and Bobbidee
Sending prayers from Ohio!
Oh wow, not exactly the post I was expecting for a Monday morning. Erin and Kenny, I will be keeping you all in my prayers. Erin, I hope you recover very soon. I’m glad to hear that your friends and church community are stepping up to take care of you all. I love reading about your family and praise God that everything looks like it will be on the mend.
Hugs to you all.
PS So glad that Erin’s mom was still in town. What timing!
Hugs again.
Wow how scary!! So glad that they were able to control it in time… 3 kids is PERFECT!!! Sending love from Utah… Get better Erin!
I only recently started reading Erin’s blog a month or so ago and it quickly became one of the blogs I check regularly. I just had my first child, a little boy, 9 1/2 weeks ago and I enjoyed reading about all the preparations for Kole’s arrival. Erin’s perspective is one that I really relate to and reading her blog is a bright spot in my day. I am so sorry that you all had to go through such a scary and traumatic event, but grateful that everyone is okay on the other side of it. I will be keeping your family in my prayers and wish Erin a very speedy recovery.
Love you guys. I’m here for anything.
I am a total stranger who checks in on your family on a, nearly, daily basis. I’m praying for a full and quick recovery for Erin so she can get back to what she loves most – caring for her three beautiful children.
Oh my word! I’ve been following your blog for a few months but never commented. So glad you are okay! Praying for you and your family! How absolutely scary! Thankful for the Lord protecting and keeping you. Get well soon!
So glad Erin is recovering…we will keep your family in our thoughts & prayers. Thanks for the reminder of how fragile life is & to not take the little things for granted. Take care & squeeze those adorable kiddos for me!
Thanks for the update….you all will be in our prayers!!
Erin is such a bright spot in my life – and so many others. Hope you’ll be back to blogging soon Erin. Love to you and your family – I’ll be praying for your quick recovery.
Just want you to know I am thinking about you guys! I love you and hope you get back to your self quickly. You are in our thoughts and prayers!
Erin, I am so glad you are ok. I can’t even imagine what this weekend has been like for you and your family. It is crazy how life can change so quickly. I will be thinking and sending my prayers your way.
Well now I am in tears. I am so sorry that all of this happened but I am also so relieved to hear that Erin will be okay. We will definitely keep your family in our prayers.
Oh!! I logged in today thinking I’d see some cute updates of Cole and see the amazing Erin up and looking cute in her photos like always….but to read this. I am in shock. I’m so, so sorry! I am very glad to read that she’s going to be okay. Sending prayers from south Orange County, CA.
Oh. my. gosh. I had NO IDEA that this had happened. I just started crying when I read this post. First of all, I am SO GLAD Erin is ok, and recovering well. Secondly, talk about going from the highest high, to the lowest low in a matter of a few weeks. I cannot even imagine.
Glad you are surrounded by so many loving people that are helping out. Here is a little more love from UT… GE well Erin, we will be praying for you! Hugs :0)
read the blog all the time but never commented, But my prays and thoughts are with Erin and the rest of you. I do hope she makes a speedy recovery as that beautiful little boy and two beautiful little girls need there mummy home with them. What an horrendous thing to happen at such a special time. I will be think of you all.
I love you sis…did I tell you that on the phone before we got disconnected? I love you so much and I could never in a million years imagine going through life and raising kids without you. It still surprises me we are even old enough and mature enough to HAVE kids, let alone be dealing with life-threatening situations. I depend on you for everything, just knowing you are there and only a phone call away. Apparently you are willing to do anything to have mom and I stay with you and do your dirty work; Kenny and I decided I should come at the end of next week to help with the girls, the baby, the housework, but probably not the cooking. Pizza on Aunt Carly! I’m calling you every 5 minutes today until the nurse asks me to stop. I love you.
Oh my heck Erin! I’m so so glad everything went okay. That is so scary and I know that Heavenly Father was watching out for you. Please stay down and get better soon. I’m praying for you!
Hi. You don’t know me, but I’m a loyal reader of your blog. I was so upset to hear what happened to you, Erin. I’m praying for you and wishing you (and your family) well. Take care!
OH my goodness! God is so good. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Love Erin’s blog, and I’m so thankful I stopped in today so I can join the prayer chain.
Blessings to you Kenny!
Oh my, I am just in shock. I am so relieved to hear that all is okay. I am sure that it’s going to take some time to recover, but that’s just so scary. I will be thinking of her and praying for her to have a quick recovery.
I’ve been so worried and thinking of you guys since we heard about Erin. I know how scary hemorrhage’s can be and I’ve just been sick! Erin, I’m so glad that they were able to save you. I hope you have a quick and healthy recovery. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your precious family. Love you lots.
I’m so glad your ok. I will call you soon and see what I can do to help. I have a bit of experience in the is area as you probably know! Take care of yourself and I will pray for a fast recovery!
Kenny, Erin and Family,
I could not imagine going through something like this. Thank goodness you and Erin’s mom were there, what a blessing. Tell Erin we are praying for her and hope she is feeling well soon. Kenny, you and Erin were and are so great together, good thing the lord knows that too. much love from our family to yours.
Oh Erin! I know I don’t personally know you, and I’ve only commented a couple times, but I admire you and can tell what an amazing woman you are! I’m so glad that you are now recovering. My husband and I can relate to this experience, as I had pretty much the same thing happen to me after I had my first baby… only the D&C actually stopped my bleeding. Know that I am thinking of you, and you are in my prayers.
Erin,
I hope you getting feeling better. I am sorry this has happened to you – It happened to me after my first baby was born – although they were able to stop my bleeding after the DC. Take care of yourself and your family.
I had no idea! I’m so sorry! Thank you Kenny for letting us know! You’re all in my prayers for sure! I can’t imagine the stress and emotions you’ve gone through this weekend! So glad the doctors were able to help her, and I hope the recovery is smooth! Take care!!!
Kenny thanks for the post. I cannot stop thinking of you and Erin. On Saturday when we found out, I was just sick to hear what you are having to go through. We love you guys so much and we are praying for Erin’s quick recovery and that you have all the love and care that you need. Sure wish we lived closer so we could help out! We miss you and can’t wait to see you soon. Xoxoxo.
How can I help you? Wow! Soooo thankful that you are okay. what a scare for all of you!! Kenny, thanks for the post and update. God bless and hugs.
Thank you for posting Kenny or I would have had no idea! So sorry you guys, how scary! I can’t even imagine. So glad Bonnie is still there to take care of the girls and so, so, so, thankful Erin is ok. I’ll be praying for you girl! Love you so much!!!
i’m praying for a safe recovery and good health for erin and your family! your post made me cry…as a new mom myself, i can’t imagine going through that terrible and scary ordeal but my thoughts are with you! big hugs to erin!
Erin & Kenny,
So glad to hear Erin is doing okay. It must have been a very scary experience. I hope your girls are dealing with it okay as well. Life truly is a miracle and a blessing. And thankfully you got to bring three beautiful ones into this world. We’ll be praying for a speedy recovery for Erin.
I live in England, am a church member and will be praying for you all. Keep the faith, all will be well and work together for thy good. x
Oh Erin…I am numb…literally!! I can not believe that this has happened to you. How thankful I am that your Kenny and your mom were there, and the the EMT’s were so speedily there, and that you live in a city where there was a great hospital. Wow, life is so fragile. It is amazing the things that we sometimes are faced with to realize how fast it can be changed. I am SO GRATEFUL that everything was okay. I am SO GRATEFUL that you are here. I am SO GRATEFUL for you, and for the happy positive person you are….for the inspiration you are to all of us, both in S.C., UT, and in the blogging world!!
My prayers are with you, with Kenny, and with your darling kids. I wish you the best, and hope you have a good recovery.
Love you!!!
I don’t know you or your family personally, but I have been a fan of Erin’s blog since discovering it. Erin seems like the most geniune person in the world and although I don’t know her, I admire how important her family is to her. Her blog is a cheery and positive place. I am so sorry to hear about Erin’s hemorraging. I seriously have tears in my eyes! I can’t imagine how scary this has been for all of you. Just wanted to let you know that Erin and her family are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope she makes a quick recovery. ((HUGS))
Erin, I am so glad you are ok and recovering. I am so sorry to hear about your tramatic experience. Thank goodness you’re ok, I can’t imagine how weak you are right now. Take care of yourself and don’t try to over do it too soon. You and your darling fam are in my thoughts and prayers. Love ya, angie
I also enjoy reading your family blog. I will be praying for your family and Erin as she continues to recover. I look forward to her updates soon.
Hi Erin–I am so glad that you are alright! I can’t imagine how scary that must have been and I am happy that your mom was there for you too. Love you cuz!
Hi, I am a YW from your ward…shortly to enter Relief Society. I found your blog from some other ward members’ blogs and I love your hilarious posts. I was so shocked and saddened to see this…what a terrible, terrible thing to have to go through for all of you! I will be sending prayers your way. If there is anything else you need please let me or my family (the Thomasons) know!!
scary! you guys are in our thoughts & prayers. PLEASE let us know how we can help you. take care!!!
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Such a scary situation!!! Thanks for keeping us updated.
Oh my sweet little Erin…I am so sorry this happened to you! I’m sure your mom has told you that I, too, hemmoraged two weeks after I had Gretchen and it was the scariest experience I have ever encountered. Life is so crazy, one minute you’re happy and enjoying that beautiful baby, and the next you are clinging to life! I’m so thankful you had your mom and Kenny close by to get medical assistance quickly! I’m so thankful for prayer and for miracles! I’m so thankful you are doing better and that you have three beautiful children to go home to! I wish I lived close to you so I could make you some yummy meals and help my friend, Bonnie take care of you those darling kids! Please know that we are all thinking of you and praying for you, sweet heart! Please tell your mom to keep in touch so I will know how you are doing! Love you Erin and Kenny!
My heart and prayers go out to both of you! I hemorrhaged when my second child was 11 days old. What a scary experience! My outcome was much less severe, but I remember the fear and uncertainty. It came absolutely out of nowhere and in the end, the doctor’s determined that my uterus just stopped contracting for some unknown reason and couldn’t do it’s job of clotting the blood.
Erin, I am SO, SO sorry that you had to have a hysterectomy. I know that you and Kenny were probably done after Kole anyway, but it’s different having that decision made for you instead of making it for yourself. As you mourn, please know that so many of us mourn with you and our hearts and ears are open if you want to talk about it.
I don’t fully comprehend the nature of God, but of one thing I have a sure testimony. Whatever events God allows or causes to happen, those things are designed to mold us into the exhalted beings He knows we are capable of becoming. Take comfort in the Spirit and know that God has great things in store for your family.
Erin you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that you have a speedy recovery and that you are able to return home to your sweet family soon!
Just to let you know that I am thinking of you all.I look forward to hearing you are recovered and back with your family.
Carol (New Zealand)

I was so shocked to hear this happened to Erin. I am thinking of her and your sweet little family and praying for her quick recovery. Bonnie, I’m thinking of you too and so glad that you were there to help Erin, and help with her little ones. I wish you were closer so I could help you! Please know I am thinking of all of you and keeping you in my prayers.
I’m sick to hear this news! But glad Erin is ok! I’ll be praying for your speedy recovery!

What a scary scary thing to have to go through. I am so glad to hear that Erin is now doing okay, and that her Mom is still there to help. I have yet to meet Erin, but I just love her even though we’ve never met. I wish I could come help in some way. Please know you are all in my prayers. <3

Found this blog after the first of the year when reading things about Project Life and been stalking it ever since :) I too have a naturally curly, bright eyed Addison (2 years old) and when I saw your Addison I have been keeping up with your blog ever since. I am SOO sorry to hear this happened and SOO relieved that you are going to be okay. I can’t even imagine. Makes me realize how much I take for granted! Here’s hoping you a speedy recovery and a very healthy future for you all!

Many prayers for you and your family at this time
i am new to your blog. i received a tweet asking for prayers from jessica turner, so i followed it to see how specifically i could pray for this momma.
having been thru a similar situation, altho not as emergent, i am praying, Father God, that you will lift up this young family, that you would hold this momma close for healing. for physical healing, emotional healing and spiritual healing. You alone know the reason for this road. Father, we ask that the hormones be kind, to both Erin and her sweet family, and that she knows she is not alone. That You are with her and that she is among friends who have been there at such a tender age. Thank you heavenly Father for allowing her more time with her family. In your Sons name we pray, Amen.
I saw a link somewhere recommending I pray for this sweet family and I can not tell you how broken hearted I was after reading this post. I will continue to pray things improve for Erin and that your whole family remains happy and healthy.
love you guys! So great to get to see you Erin, and you know I will be vouching for how you still look beautiful in a hospital gown!
What a blessing that you have 3 healthy children. You are in my prayers and I hope you have a speedy recovery!
What in the world Erin!! I miss 2 days of checking your blog and look what I missed!! I’m the 91st person to comment, I should have been the first!!
I am just dying right now Kenny. Oh man, I wish I were there to see her. Please, please give her a hug for me and tell her NOT to do anything like that ever again. I SO need my best friend. Love you both

Kenny and Erin,
I don’t know if you will even read all of these comments, but I just wanted to let you know I was shocked to hear of Erin’s life threatening experience.

Thank you again, Kenny, for letting everyone know about what’s going on. In case you hadn’t already noticed, prayer requests for Erin and your entire family have gone viral on Facebook and Twitter. I’m pretty sure the entire country is praying for you guys right now. Love from Wisconsin!
I found your blog a few months ago and read it a few times a week to peek in. I had checked today to see if maybe you had changed your banner yet…OMG! I am so sorry for all of you! I went through the same thing after my 2nd and the d and c fixed it. I am so sorry that you are going through such an emotional experience after such a joyous momement in your lives! Good thoughts and prayers, prayers, prayers for you and all your babies. I wish you the speediest recovery to get back to where you belong…snuggling with those babies!
Like so many others here, I’m coming out of lurkdom to post my get well wishes to Erin. I will say a prayer for her quick recovery and I am so glad that she is on the mend.
Yet another complete LURKER who found you through Project Life. My heart just fell when I read Kenny’s post yesterday and wanted you to know that I am praying for ALL of you for a speedy and full-on recovery! God bless you and hang in there while recovering AND having a new guy in the house. Prayers continuing to go up!
From the looks of all of the comments I am not the only lurker (thank goodness), but I think your mom may have been my kindergarten teacher?
I check on your blog probably once a week-you make me laugh, you inspire me, and make me want to have splashes of red all throughout my house!
I hope you are recovering well-my prayers are with you and your beautiful family!
Erin, I don’t know you nor do I have my own blog, but enjoy reading yours!! It is so positive and puts me in a good mood. I checked this morning for updates and read Kenny’s note. Wow!! I know you will recover quickly and be back to normal in no time!!Thank God for Moms and good husbands. Rest my blogger friend. My prayers are with you.
I’m so sorry that this happened to you. Please know that I’m praying for you & your family. I really enjoy reading your blog and I’m looking forward to many more posts. I know you don’t know me but if I can help with anything please let me know as I will be very happy to do so.
Love & prayers from Tempe, AZ
Erin I am so glad you are okay!!! You know I am almost as slow as my internet, so I just heard. You and your fam are in our prayers. Congrats on your beautiful little boy!! Talk to you soon!!
Erin,
You and your family are in our prayers.
Bless you all! I had the same experience after having my twin girls but was lucky enough to only need a D&C to stop the bleeding. I will keep you all in my prayers.
I have never read this blog before (it was linked from another blog), but I am glad I clicked. I can tell the peace you all have just by this post and glad to hear that God is taking care of you all. I pray Erin has a smooth and fast recovery.
Kenny & Erin, What a beautiful family – Kole is so sweet. I am glad Erin is doing better. I wish we lived closer so we could help. Please know we love you and are praying for you.
I just came over from a recommendation at Clover Lane. I have never been here before, but as a mother of three beauties, I can not imagine what your wife (and your whole family) is going through. I have thoroughly enjoyed perusing Erin’s archives and look forward to hearing from her upon her return.
God is good. All the time.
Your family will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers.
XO*Tricia
I just started reading your Blog and have never commented. However, I wanted to let you and your family know that you are in my prayers. I am so glad to know you are recovery at home with your family around you. I appreciate your beautiful Blog layouts and all that you share.
Been thinking about you guys. You have been in our prayers. I just cried when Bonnie called and told me what you all have been through. I am so glad that Erin is recovering. I wish I could be there to help.
Oh man! Kenny is just as hilarious as you are! I love that you both are able to always look on the sunny side of things. I am so glad, as I am sure hundreds of others are, that you are still alive to inspire and enlighten through your amazing posts! What a scare. Crazy.
Erin, Last week, I too, had a hysterectomy and am worried about the lack of hormones and what to take if any? I have also heard about a lot of women who gain weight afterwards (obviously not you) and am concerned about that. If you don’t mind sharing I would love to hear what you decided hormone wise (I am in my thirties and it seems like everyone else I know in this situation are at least 50). If you would rather not, I understand. Just wondering what your thoughts are now that you are a couple years out. (super cute birthday boy, by the way, and I had a late talker too…now I wonder when he will stop talking -wink, wink) Thanks for sharing your world with us!
Hi Crewmom! I’m totally find discussing this with you! Email me when you get a minute and I can explain my situation. :) Thanks!
