Elizabeth Robbins & Laura Elizabeth Robbins

On Sunday, November 6th, Elizabeth Robbins went to Mercy Hospital in St. Louis to give birth to her first baby girl. After 5 boys, she was so excited to have a girl.

Tragically, Elizabeth Robbins experienced Amniotic Fluid Embolism, collapsed into her husband’s arms and lost consciousness. Her body then went into Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation, and the bleeding never stopped. Every drop of blood from the Pierce County Blood Bank was used, and some from Seattle too, in attempts to save her. Over 70 medical personnel worked seven hours to bring her back, but she slipped beyond the veil.

Baby Laura Elizabeth was delivered via emergency c-section and rushed to Children's Hospital in Seattle, where they have placed her in neonatal therapeutic hypothermia to help her body recover from the trauma and reduce the likelihood of long-term brain injuries.

We are praying for Baby Laura and her family through this incredibly difficult and tragic time.

Everyone who knows Elizabeth knows she was a force of nature. Matt and Laura need our help. One way you can help is with medical expenses and support for Laura. Please consider contributing to her gogetfunding.

Thank you so much for your generosity.
