A new mom, whose life hung in the balance after a critical heart condition forced her to deliver early, saw her vital signs improve when her newborn was placed in her arms. Both she and her baby fought for their lives, overcoming their tribulation together.

Veronica Williams of Covington, Kentucky, learned that she and her husband, Sean, were expecting a baby in August of 2021. Veronica had no signs of heart disease during her pregnancy, and the shortness of breath and swelling she did experience “seemed like normal pregnancy symptoms.”
