Emmy’s Story

Site created on September 20, 2021

Welcome to our CaringBridge website! Mommy Megan’s water broke on 9/19/2021 and our first baby, Emerson Joann (Emmy Jo), arrived into the world on 9/22/2021 at 28 weeks, 6 days gestation. She spent 114 days at Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis. We are home and navigating appointments and therapies while we continue to search for answers. Thanks for reading our updates! We love that you’re here and appreciate your support more than you know!

Journal entry by Megan Schneider

Well, Emmy has tested positive for RSV and her Mayo procedure scheduled for tomorrow has been cancelled. Thanks for all the well wishes, messages, and prayers! We felt the love surround us. We hope this illness is mild and are hopeful the next go around with the procedure is healthy and successful. Although disappointed, we are so grateful she started showing symptoms before we made the trek to Mayo. For now, we will enjoy rainy day snuggles. And you can enjoy her little smirk in the photo attached from earlier this week. 

Shoutout to the absolutely wonderful staff that got us in for a respiratory panel within an hour yesterday. Compassionate customer service goes a long way. Thank you Essentia Health!
