33-week pregnant Angela Primachenko of the Vancouver, Washington, area started to feel ill late last month. Fearing the worst, she got tested for the coronavirus. Little did she know that not only would she test positive for the illness, but days later she would be placed under a medically induced coma. When she woke up she learned that she had already given birth to her baby girl.
… While still under her coma, her doctors discovered that her unborn baby, a girl, needed to be born six weeks early. They induced Primachenko on April 1, and the mom delivered her baby. Doctor’s tested Primachenko’s husband David, her 11-year-old Emily, and the newborn for the virus, but all three tested negative. Primachenko ended up naming her daughter Ava.
… Even though the mom was released from the hospital April 11, Ava remains in the NICU’s care. Doctors say that she will have to test negative to two more coronavirus tests before she is allowed to be in the NICU.
