Mom and newborn hug for first time after traumatic ICU event
- Helen Fitzgerald, 43, and her newborn baby Maeve were admitted to intensive care at Worcestershire Royal Hospital after both experienced breathing difficulties following the delivery.
- Helen has the rare condition myasthenia gravis, and during labor, some of her antibodies were transferred to Maeve, resulting in an extremely uncommon complication.
- Doctors intubated both Helen and Maeve and placed them on ventilators to save their lives, keeping them in separate ICUs and facilitating virtual contact.
- After several days, medical staff reunited them for their first skin-to-skin contact, which consultant pediatrician Dr. Paul Watson described as unprecedented in his experience.
- Helen was discharged from intensive care following a five-day period on mechanical ventilation and has shown a positive response to treatment, while Maeve no longer requires respiratory assistance and is anticipated to recover fully.
