My Appendix Burst While My Wife Was In Labor
Video Overview & Insights
Our youngest turns three today. Every year, my wife and I think back to just how crazy the days leading up to his birth were. My wife was 31 weeks into a high-risk pregnancy when the doctor told us we had to induce that day. 6 hours later, I was in emergency surgery two floors away.
