-Knami Was Born

On April 21st, 2020 (during covid 19) Autumn unexceptionally became a mother to a beautiful baby girl, which came with many challenges, especially for a first time mother during a pandemic. On the day of April 21st of 2020 , Autumn was working from home when she started having breathing and vision issues and unfortuatly shortly after the unexpected sysmtems lead to her having a seizer. Knami’s father was home at the time THANKFULLY, he was able to call 911 and get some emergency assistance on the scene. The only thing Autumn remembered is not being able to see due to her blurry vision, not being able to breathe and fighting back because she was scared and on the verge of feeling mentally incapacitated. At a later date she realized during her hesitancy it was a breathing tube being put in the back of my throat and the only thing she recalled was the exteme discomfort and Knami’s father telling me its ok and to let go and so she did, as she put her faith into a higher power.

Shortly after the breathing tube was installed at the hospital Autumn was put into a medically induced coma and an emergency c-section took place took place all unbeknownst to her. Upon awaking the following day she realized it was 5am and that she was being held alone a hospital in a secured wing due to covid 19 and being told that I had to get an emergency c-section due to the seizures. Immediately as she realized the feeling of being alone was overwritten with a deeper anxiety and fear, that even upon receiving best case scenario news the feeling with in couldn't just be quelled and washed away upon learning that her child was in NICU being kept alive inside of an incubator. In a panicked state of confusion and wanting to seek clarification she needed to speak to someone she actually knew because there was no was this was her reality, so so grabbed the hospital phone and started dialing away trying to string together what exactly was happening.

While out of conscience her daughter, Knami, was born April 21st, 2020 at 1 pound and 9 ounces and so did their story unbeknownst to both of them. Every single  day she made it her goal to go see Knami in the NICU but covid restrictions only complicated an already overwhelming separation anxiety that autumn was facing. Nevertheless each day Knami had her mother by her said each day and now she wants to help others alike that also may be facing uphill battles.
