93: My Daughter Is Deaf, I’m Dying, and My World Is Falling Apart
In the aftermath of giving birth less than 24 hours earlier, I found myself on the verge of a crisis. Despite losing a significant amount of blood, my doctor chose not to proceed with a blood transfusion against the advice of the nurses. As I grappled with this decision, another blow hit – my newborn daughter failed not one, not two, but three hearing tests. The weight of potential deafness for her and the looming threat of my own mortality left me feeling like my world was unraveling. To add to the chaos, I was discharged from the hospital, left to navigate these overwhelming emotions on my own. Join me as I delve into this intense chapter of my postpartum experience and explore the resilience needed to overcome such challenging moments.
