I came to the emergency room Tuesday, December 10th with a whopping 197/123 preeclampsia due to high blood pressure. My organs were shutting down and I was being poked left and right by a million needles. I was surrounded by nurses and doctors when the baby’s heart rate stopped at 30 weeks old. All I remember was being rushed to the operating room for an emergency c-section to deliver her ASAP.

I was in no shape or form to take on life’s curveball. To be honest, I still haven’t had a chance to really digest what has happened these past few days. It’s been hard for me to find my voice and put all my emotions into words. I have been hospitalized for a week now while specialists draw blood, take ultrasounds, EKGs, and see how well I respond to different medication.

I am being discharged today with thyroid and blood pressure medication. My legs are so swollen I can barely walk and all I can think about it going back to work. “Taking it easy” has never been a part of my vocabulary but now I have no choice but to let my body slowly recover. I am feeling overwhelmed about the next chapter but raising a newborn alone will not be easy. I am starting a baby fund for Alexia Arielle Lucas Huguet by putting my pride aside and asking for help. Every penny counts at this point while I’m indisposed and figuring out my next move. My overnight family really appreciates all the love in this time of need, especially hugs. The fact that she and I are alive is a miracle it itself. ✨✨

Thank You with Love ,
