Samantha and Christian Ponder’s infant daughter is recovering after a “series of terrifying and sudden events” required that she have emergency surgery. Price Ponder, whose birth had been announced July 21, was taken last week to Mount Sinai Hospital where a surgery took place in the middle of the night. “Thanks to the incredible surgical team at the Mount Sinai Hospital and their skill and decisiveness, our precious girl made it. They treated her like their own, and answered all our blubbering fearful questions. Her recovery in the NICU was nothing short of miraculous for a tiny body that had just undergone such trauma. I cannot thank the women who cared for her day and night enough.”
