212: Steve's wife forgot it all
What Was That Like - True Stories. Real People.
A Journey of Love Through Adversity
This chapter explores a touching journey of commitment as one partner proposes amidst health challenges. It highlights personal stories of resilience and the transformative power of love during difficult times.
If you’re a parent, you know that the birth of your first
child is an incredible experience. For Steve and Camre, it didn’t happen at all
the way they expected it to.
Steve got the call at work that Camre was at the hospital
and had already delivered the baby. He dropped everything and drove there
frantically, and he was confused because the baby wasn’t due for another 7
weeks.
He ran into the hospital, and the first thing he saw was his
newborn son, Gavin. He quickly scrubbed up and held him for the first time.
What Steve didn’t know was that, at that moment, Camre was
being put into a medically induced coma in order to save her life. He also
didn’t know that when she would come out of that coma, she would have no memory
of anything. She would not recognize Steve, and she wouldn’t even know she had
just had their baby.
This is a Flashback episode. Steve originally told this
story on the podcast about 5 years ago, so at the end of today’s episode we’ll
get to hear from modern-day Steve, and he’ll tell us what’s happened since
then.
