Shannon Everett is 22 years old, she has two children, but she herself is sure that she is only 13.
The fact that a woman is still alive is a miracle. Shannon was put in the hospital in advance: the fetus was growing slower than it should, and the doctors wanted to watch the last weeks of pregnancy. But when the woman arrived at the hospital, it turned out that labor had already begun. The contractions intensified slowly, there was no opening in any way. But in the end, Shannon ended up in the delivery room.
“Push!” – commanded the midwife. The woman in labor turned her head to the groom. “I love you,” she said. Then she said the same words to my mother. And she lost consciousness.
The entire staff of the department rushed to the delivery room. While the obstetricians were removing the baby, who had not yet had time to be born, resuscitators tried to revive Shannon. Nothing worked. The young woman started bleeding heavily. And then her heart stopped. The doctors did not give up trying to save Shannon. But they managed to turn her heart on only after a long 68 minutes.
Shannon never opened her eyes. For two whole weeks she lay in an artificial coma. The girl’s mother and groom no longer knew whether to hope for a miracle. But one day her voice rang out in the room: Shannon was singing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” The relatives did not have time to rejoice that their beloved was with them again, as another shock awaited them. It turned out that Shannon is sure: she is 13 years old, she goes to school. Her whole life fell out of the memory of a young mother.
“It was very difficult for her to establish contact with her newborn son. She didn’t remember that she had given birth to him. And she generally refused to believe that she had children, ”he said. the groom of the unhappy woman.
The eldest daughter Shannon managed to remember a little – thanks to the video that the father of her children brought to the hospital.
… A mother of two children went home in a wheelchair. She cannot walk on her own. In addition, cardiac arrest greatly affected her vision – Shannon is able to distinguish only outlines of objects. But her mother and fiancé hope that they will be able to return the girl to a full life.
“When she was in intensive care, I told Ion, her fiancé, that I would not think badly of him if he left her. After all, it is very difficult to raise children and take care of a disabled wife. But he told me he was not going anywhere. He loves her, “Shannon’s mom said.
Now a young mother is slowly trying to regain control over her own body. Something is already working out: she can move her arms, she can even eat a little. But there is still a long way to go. Which she will surely pass – thanks to her loved ones.
