Mom, 'Miracle' Baby Doing Well 1 Year After Pregnant COVID Scare

DAYTON, OH — An Ohio mom who was in such bad shape with the coronavirus she does not remember giving birth a year ago, is doing well now. So is her baby Jamison, who turns a year old on Friday.

"I never thought I would be back here," Megan Sites told WXIX this week, recalling the fear she felt a year ago when hospitalized in Dayton while pregnant and with the virus.

“I’m going to be by myself, and I’m going to die alone... That was my biggest fear, that I wasn’t going to have anyone with me,” she told the Cincinnati-based news channel.

The pregnant woman was put on a ventilator, and flown to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center for life support treatment. Sites' husband was told she only had a 40 percent chance of survival. Doctors had to deliver Jamison early to save his life.

A year later, Sites and Jamison are living a more normal, healthy life.

“I could be sitting here mourning the loss of my baby this week, but instead I’m trying to get him to stop eating my phone,” Sites said.

"I don’t know if he’ll ever fully understand the severity of the situation and everything, the magnitude... like how much of a miracle he is out of it all.”
