Doctors were forced to deliver her baby boy a month early because his mother was losing her battle with COVID-19. “I do feel an emotional state that at first that I was robbed of that first you know, initial meeting and greeting,” said Thomas.Her son, Briggs was born healthy and already 5 weeks old by the time he finally got to meet his mother.The baby went home with his father, Bryan while Courtney began a long road to recovery that included therapy just to build up the strength to hold her newborn.
“When we get people to our rehab unit, we want to get them home as safe as we can as fast as we can that’s our biggest goal,” said Dr. Steven Avers, Medical City McKinney Physiatrist. “For her, the additional motivation of getting her back home to her baby.” “So I got to meet him, I think on November 4, and that was an amazing overwhelming feeling.
