By @TobyChilliShow Jan 11, 2021 One Reston family is helping families stay connected with their little ones during a very stressful time. Alison Stern was rushed into emergency cesarean surgery after her baby’s heartbeat started to drop. As she recovered from the C-section in Reston, Virginia, Alison couldn’t hold her newborn in Washington, D.C, over 25 miles away. Though she could see him with a special camera in the neonatal intensive care unit room. It was five days before Alison was able to hold Emerson for the first time. It was another two weeks before he was transferred to the Reston Hospital Center.
