Chloe’s journey into motherhood took a frightening turn when she was diagnosed with severe preeclampsia late in her pregnancy. At 35 weeks, her swelling and dangerously high blood pressure led Blake to rush her to the hospital, where doctors were shocked she hadn’t been sent sooner. Chloe endured over 24 hours of early labor with slow progress, and as her blood pressure continued to rise, the medical team prepared for an emergency c-section to protect her life. Miraculously, just before surgery, Chloe was able to deliver baby Stella Sue naturally in one push. Stella was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck twice, but thanks to the quick actions of the doctors, she received the oxygen she needed right away. Weighing only 4 lbs 9 oz, Stella is now in the NICU, fighting to get stronger every day. Chloe, meanwhile, faces a future managing hypertension for the rest of her life. Both she and Blake need more time off work to care for their newborn and navigate this challenging time. The financial strain of medical bills, lost income, and everyday expenses is overwhelming, and they could use all the support they can get right now. Any help will go directly toward easing their burden as they focus on Chloe’s recovery and Stella’s growth. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference for this family as they face these unexpected challenges together. Any support would mean the world to us.
