I was in a coma for 2 weeks after giving birth to my 4th child.
I had the flu, pneumonia, gestational diabetes, and an amniotic embolism.
I was on:
A feeding tube, oxygen, ELS, Dialysis, and ECMO. I am fully recovered, minus vocal cord damage and tons of scars.
Ask me anything.

How are you dealing with or supporting yourself with the emotions of what happened?
Do you play the lotto?
What was it like when you woke up? Were you aware that a lot of time had passed?
What do you remember when you were in ICU?
What did your family take away from what the doctor said at the family meetings?
Did you survive?
Do you regret deciding to go through this 4th pregnancy?
Were you conscious while on lifesupport
What has being on life support taught you about B2B sales?
We’re there any indications before you got pregnant again that there might be such, or any, serious complications?
And how old were you when you got pregnant?
What country were you in? If its the US I have questions about how the insurance coverage of that worked
Do you think that the willing to come back and support your family and newborn gave you the strenght to survive?
My friend passed away from an AFE during labor. It happened in a split second. So glad to hear you made it through! Do you recall what happened when you had the embolism?
How the hell do you get all of those at once?! Glad you’re better but holy hell that’s some awful luck
How long ago was this? I noticed you replied to someone saying you’re getting divorced I’m just wondering if it was recent
Wow – what a battle you fought! Do you have a clear picture of how all of those conditions interacted together, if at all? Like, was the flu pretty much the straw that broke the camel’s back?
What visions did you have?
Fucking hell, you survived ECMO?
Nothing to ask but holy shit im glad you defied the odds!
I’m glad you’re able to tell God and your family and us about your trauma. Do you feel relief by talking about what you went through?
What was the unconscious time like? Was it just like blinking and waking up however long later? Or how much time did you feel like passed versus how much actually passed?
