A mother who gave birth while in a coma due to complications from COVID-19 is awake and has met her newborn son for the first time.
Name of the woman is Gillian McIntosh.
Gillian was given an emergency C-section and placed in an induced coma after arriving at a hospital in Abbotsford, B.C., with COVID-19 symptoms in November.
McIntosh's family says in a statement that she was eased out of sedation late last week and has been taken off the ventilator.
She was able to meet her son, named Travis Len, for the first time over the weekend.
