Orange County beauty influencer Jackie Miller James is awake and reunited with her baby nearly a month after being placed in a medically-induced coma while being treated for an aneurysm, her family said.
The 35-year-old's husband, Austin, found the mom-to-be at their home and took her to the hospital, where she underwent an emergency C-section and brain surgeries at the same time.
"If Jackie and the baby arrived a few minutes later at the hospital, we likely would have lost both of them. James’ sisters, Natalie and Nicelle, said on the fundraising page. "But instead, Jackie is continuing to fight for her life each day and we are optimistic she can beat the odds by surrounding her with the right specialists and methods of therapy."
Miller James’ newborn daughter was kept in the NICU for 12 days following the "traumatic events of her birth," before finally meeting her mother, who remained in a coma. "Jackie’s husband and family have not left her side since the incident," Miller James’ sisters said. "They are navigating taking care of a newborn in the ICU while fighting to keep Jackie alive."
"While the road will be long, we are committed to bringing Jackie home to her daughter and husband," her sisters added.
