Meghan’s Story

Site created on September 20, 2018

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.


Meghan went into labor on 9/5/18. She gave birth to a beautiful little girl, Teagan Mae! 6lbs 2.4oz 19.25 inches and cute as anything. She was born via emergency c-section. Meghan then began to have major complications and is in ICU at University of Maryland. I will be updating this page to keep family and close friends updated the best we can. If you have any questions please reach out! And again thank you for continued prayers, we appreciate all of you!

Journal entry by Heather Schafer

Went for surgery at 8am. Meghan is stable after surgery but still open. Pancreas overall looks ok, right looks better than the left. Whatever the pancreas was putting out is still being found internal and they need to get all that “gunk” out in order to close her because that will continue to spread if any is left behind which is causing tissue to die. Spleen was removed to due to repetitive bleeding and overall didn’t look good so it was removed. Some of the gunk was on and affected a section of Meghan’s colon. Surgery will be set for Friday instead of tomorrow to let Meghan rest and the doctors said they need a whole 24 hours to notice a change if there is one. Surgery is to recheck the colon if that is worse they will have to remove part of it. For the rest of the night doctors want Meghan to get much needed rest.
