A Wisconsin woman on the mend from a severe bout of COVID-19 embraced her infant daughter for the first time Thursday after she gave birth nearly three months ago.
Kelsey Townsend was diagnosed with the novel virus when she was nine months pregnant last October, according to a news release from UW Health. Hospital officials said the woman was placed in a medically induced coma, during which doctors delivered her daughter, Lucy, in a C-section on Nov. 4.
While the newborn baby went home to the family, Townsend’s condition deteriorated rapidly and she required 75 days on a ventilator and another machine to support her lungs, per the release.
