At nearly two weeks overdue, Kaitlyn (Kate) McAllorum welcomed her and fiancé Jordans' precious son Hunter @555pm January 27th 2025 in Fort Saint John via C-Section after being induced and progression of labour “was taking too long” according to one doctor. Unfortunately, due to the ill preparedness, the surgery went south quickly. While in prenatal care Kaitlyn advocated for herself and made every effort to inform every care provider of her rare blood condition that caused issues with clotting. A plan was in place to give a medication that worked in the past to control her bleeding, at a particular time in labour and/or prior to any surgery that may be required. This plan also included having extra blood and platelets on hand. The question was brought up many times as Kate was curious if she should plan to have her child at another more capable facility in case of complications, the doctors ensured her that they were capable of caring for her and any complications that may arise. This medication was not given ahead of the C-section and things immediately took a drastic turn for Kate, as she suffered severe blood loss complications, which led to an astounding amount of blood transfusions and draining the blood banks of surrounding areas. Kate was in critical condition and now required a second emergency surgery to locate and stop the blood loss. The intervention implemented to stop the blood loss with surgery #2 came with much uncertainty being only a temporary measure and with no blood left available in surrounding banks for Kate, her family was faced with the news that no one wants to hear, and to prepare for the loss of our beloved new momma and family member. During this time her heart stopped twice, luckily the doctors were able to revive her. What ensued in the hours following was agonizing and can only describe as utter chaos. With ever changing stability, and her body clearly exhausted fighting to its limits, momma and her care team hung on for hours in limbo. To our surprise and with immense relief the FSJ staff were able to source more blood, plasma and another surgeon rushed over from the neighbouring town, Dawson Creek, and arrived with mere minutes to save her life. This enabled them to proceed into emergency surgery #3, a hysterectomy for Kaitlyn at 32. After this while her life was spared, she remained on life support, in severely critical condition. One doctor along with her family advocated with a stern position and great discernment and calculation, Kate must be sent to a larger center and was airlifted to ICU in Vancouver as that is the best option for her recovery. Above all odds as of Jan 29th Kaitlyn was extubated and awake smiling and FaceTiming her son shortly after, but as you can understand requires extensive support to navigate her recovery after excessive trauma. We are not 100% what lies ahead for our family in terms of keeping momma safe and well but we are certain we would love to relieve as much of the financial burden of at least the flight travel expenses Jordan and his support have taken on to be by Kaitlyns side in ICU and return home behind her to reunite with their son once safe to do so. Our heartfelt gratitude is extended to all who have offered support by any means, god bless.
