On Friday June 16th, 2017 at 29 weeks and 6 days pregnant, Steph was involved in a pretty terrible car accident. She was taken to the Trauma Center at ThedaClark hospital in Neenah with broken bones, fractured ribs, lacerations and internal bleeding. Upon arrival at the hospital, the baby's heart rate was good, but after a full body cat scan, began to destabilize and Steph was rushed into emergency surgery for the internal bleeding and it resulted in an unexpected c-section. Baby Whipp arrived at 8:30am weighing 3 pounds 3.5 ounces and measuring 15 inches long. Mom spent some time in the ICU recovering and Baby will remain in the NICU until his expected due date of August 27th, 2017.
