Nearly three months after Kelsey Townsend gave birth to her fourth child, the 32-year-old Wisconsin woman was finally face to face with her.
Lucy, now bright-eyed and alert, flashed her a smile.
“Hi. I love you. I love you so much. Yeah, I’ve missed you,” Kelsey Townsend told her.
Townsend was in a medically-induced coma with COVID-19 when she gave birth to Lucy via cesarean section on Nov. 4, not long after getting to SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital in Madison. She ended up spending 75 days on life and lung support. She finally met Lucy on Jan. 27 the day Kelsey was discharged from University Hospital in Madison.
