“We got the call that a pregnant lady in Shaktoolik was having some medical complications,” National Guard Capt. Erin Phillips said. “The weather, the winds, and the nighttime did not affect us in that situation.”
SHAKTOOLIK, Alaska - The morning of Christmas Eve started in shambles for Kristin Jessie.
“As soon as I got up, a bunch of blood started gushing out,” Jessie said. “So it turns out that my water broke at that time too.” Military personnel from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson arrived in Shaktoolik at around 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. The Air Guard jumped into action and immediately went to the local clinic and started administering care. Jessie was given a unit of blood before being packed up and placed on a helicopter.
