Kayleigh Summers is an LSW that works in a school in Pennsylvania. Daxton, who lives with her husband, 18-month-old son Callahan, and dog, recounted her the account of her giving birth.

I had a couple high ssus (xt-related), I was two days beyond my due date, and the baby seemed to be large. After two days of labor, I was 10 centimeters dilated and ready to us. I informed my nurse something t, and then I rapidly realized that something was wrong with my heart. I was referred to as us in the operating room, and Callahan was delivered during a -st while CPR was performed on me.

My kid was born while I was pregnant. They delivered Cal, who, happily, fared well after a little delay. On the contrary, I did not. I was unconscious for around seven minutes until I was resuscitated, after which I coded again. After doing CPR for many minutes, they were able to resuscitate me.

Then, I started to quickly sigh. I suffered from Dsst Ittu Cut (DIC), a condition characterized by profuse ss. I was leaking blood. I need 143 units of the product (the average human body holds 8-12 units). My heart and lungs were no longer able to oxygenate my blood, therefore ECMO (a sort of life support) was administered. I was required to have a stt and three more sus within the following five days. I was on a ventilator for five days and in intensive care for two weeks. On day 5, after gradually regaining consciousness, I was able to greet my darling son. I was released on day fourteen. Thank goodness. I saved. I created it

I was granted a second shot in this life, allowing me to see the maturation of my son. When I got home, I was a mere shadow of my former self. My body had just had an experience of which I had no recollection. I slept 14 to 16 hours every day. In addition, I was s with Psttu Dss.

The same week I was released from the hospital, I started weekly t. Even though I was still on a high from “escaping death,” I knew as a therapist that I would need a great deal of therapeutic help. I sought for a therapist with expertise in prenatal mental health. When counseling alone was insufficient, I elected to begin taking t.

I believe ɪɴɪtɪᴀtɪɴɢ tʜᴇʀᴀᴘʏ so early on and being open to a trial of medication helped me climb out of the darkness sooner than I would have on my own. Writing and sharing with others about my journey has also helped me process my ɢʀɪᴇꜰ.
