On Sunday, November 4th, while attending church to see my nephew confirmed and my cousins’ daughter baptized, during one of the prayers, I felt my entire body just drop - my water broke.”

“I calmly walked to the back of the church, told my sister-in-law, who followed me to the bathroom. I got as cleaned up as I could. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law drove me to the hospital because my husband, Keith, was still at work. We contacted him and he met us at the hospital.”

“When I arrived at the hospital, everyone was trying to get all the paperwork completed as quickly as possible. The anesthesiologist told me I would have to wait for six hours for delivery because I had eaten breakfast. The CRNP said there was no way I could wait that long …Colton's foot was in the canal.”

“Colton had difficulty breathing when he was born because of swallowing meconium, but with the quick action of the neonatal staff, they had him breathing on his own within minutes so he did not require a NICU stay.”
