⁠
The 35-year-old Dallas native was in her third trimester with baby Luna when high blood pressure and an excessive amount of fluid retention forced her to have an emergency delivery 7 weeks early!⁠
⁠
That was just the beginning... When she didn’t bounce back after safely delivering her daughter, it led to the discovery of blockages in all of her major coronary arteries. Doctors had to perform open-heart surgery to save her.⁠
