Welcome to The Mama Sisterhood - I'm Heather Evans. When my twins were born at 24 weeks gestation, I began to think about the uniqueness of each of our motherhood journeys. I also began to understand the importance of education and support from other moms, no matter how different our lives may be. Each episode will highlight one mother's journey and the lessons she has learned on this crazy path we call life. I'm so happy to have you here. Welcome to the Mama Sisterhood!

Episode 84 - Brie's Story (Part 1) - When a Pregnancy Complications Leads to Sepsis, Four Amputations, and a Fight For Her Life

Get ready, Mama Sisterhood family, for one of the most incredible episodes I've ever recorded. Seriously, today's interview made me laugh, cry, and just sit stunned again and again, taking in the strength of this amazing mama. Today's guest, Brie, was in her second trimester when she began to feel sick and felt she likely had the flu. Instead of the flu, though, Brie had strep A which quickly led to sepsis, a c-section at 27 weeks, and the need to be intubated and placed on a ventilator. Brie's odds were not good and her family was prepared for the worst, but she fought.


The medicine that saved her life, though, came at a cost - it diverted blood flow toward her heart and lungs... but that meant it was diverted away from her arms and legs which led to amputation of all four limbs.


Part 1 of Brie's story today shares from pregnancy throughout her hospital stay. I can't even do her story justice by summarizing it in show notes so just believe me when I say, you HAVE to hear this story.
