WASHINGTON - A woman in New York has met for the first time the baby she gave birth to in early April while she was on a ventilator in an artificial coma because she had a serious form of Covid-19.
"We really did not know if she was going to survive at all," said Benjamin Schwartz, head of obstetrics and gynecology at Southside Hospital in Bay Shore.But she finally turned a corner and was released from hospital in a wheelchair to the applause of dozens of health care workers on Wednesday .Soriano was eight months pregnant when she became infected, around the same time as her husband, who had a less serious case and was able to remain at home.
"The mother knew that that was happening, but then got really bad right before the section was performed and ended up on a ventilator, and not being awake to the birth of a child," said Schwartz.He was transferred to a children's hospital in New York, where he was picked up by his father on Tuesday.
