Most moms will agree pregnancy and labor can be a scary time and all you want is to deliver a healthy baby, kicking and screaming.
But one mom was faced with the unthinkable when her baby boy was born with medical issues that left him on a ventilator.
Lisa Hough shared an image of her sweet baby grandson born to her daughter Chelsea and also shared the unthinkable tough decision that her daughter had been faced with.
The mom of three and nana of two said her grandson Karson had been born with many medical complications.
“The only way to describe what has happened is that this beautiful baby boy has suffered two very rare traumatic conditions that are completely unrelated to one another,” Nana Lisa shared on her Facebook page.
She added her newborn baby grandson had suffered a “hemorrhage in the left temporal lobe” and had also been diagnosed with a rare, genetic, metabolic disorder called Non-ketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH).
“His case is presented as severe and would cause him to be severely neurologically impaired – functioning at a 2-3 month old level at best for his lifetime,” Lisa wrote.
His mom, given all the information from the medical staff around her, made the incredibly tough decision to take him off life support.
Lisa wrote of the heartbreaking moment they had to say goodbye to their sweet little one.
“While we weren’t ready to say goodbye to Karson, we had come to terms with the inevitable. We were given 10 minutes after withdrawing intensive care and the ventilator and told he would not breath on his own and to expect his heart to stop within those 10 minutes.
But, according to Lisa, it seemed “God had other plans” and said she and her daughter witnessed a miracle.
“He immediately started breathing on his own once the ventilator was removed, heart rate and oxygen stabilized, and here we are 5 hours later with this miracle baby that we were told would never breath, swallow, have gag reflexes, or even survive. He is breathing unassisted.
“He is swallowing. He is surviving. He even has slightly opened his eyes a couple times today.”
She said his doctors had no explanation for what happened saying no medical or science data supports this little fighter surviving; the only explanation they have is that it’s a miracle.
“I’m not sure why I ever thought we were so underserving of a miracle…and I’m not sure how long we have with him, but we have him now. And now we will take,” Lisa wrote.
Finally, on March 1, she and her family were given the joyous news that their tiny bundle of joy would be coming home that week.
“Every day, I am brought to my knees, and just when I think God is done, I am quickly reminded that he isn’t….I have no words for my gratitude and I will praise Him for as long as I have air in my lungs for giving Karson his,” Lisa wrote.
From her very first post, commenters were fully supportive of the journey, celebrating the survival of Karson with more than 30,000 reactions to the post announcing the wonderful news that Karson survived and is thriving
Marlo Thomas’ Cosmetic Surgery Criticized: Discover Her Unfiltered Look Through AI
Marlo Thomas’ look has changed a lot since her “That Girl” days, and some fans think she ruined her beauty with plastic surgery. People say her nose was nicer before she had more work done on her face. AI-generated images also show how different Thomas might have looked as she aged without the cosmetic procedures.
Plastic surgery can be a hot topic, especially when it comes to celebrities. Marlo Thomas, who is thought to have had cosmetic procedures, is an actress, producer, and social activist.
At 86 years old, she has had a long acting career with roles in shows like “Ocean’s 8,” “The Real Blonde,” and “A Magical Christmas Village.” Fans who remember her natural beauty from her “That Girl” days find it hard to recognize her now due to the changes from plastic surgery over the years.
AI-generated photos suggest that Marlo Thomas would have aged differently and more naturally without plastic surgery. These images show how she might have looked with subtle wrinkles, her original nose shape, and a cute smile with naturally raised cheeks.
When photos of the actress’s facial changes from 1968 to 2024 were shared online, fans reacted with surprise and strong opinions about her plastic surgery.
One user commented, “She was much prettier when she was on *That Girl* before all the surgeries. Her nose looks terrible now.” Another person added, “She was so pretty. It’s a shame she ruined it with surgery.”
Another user noted that Thomas had gone too far with her surgeries, saying, “Way too much work done. She was BEAUTIFUL before the surgeries. Ugh.” Many agreed with this, commenting “I agree” and “So true.”
Other people wished Thomas had been more cautious with the cosmetic procedures. One user remarked, “Too many surgeries. But she is an amazing woman.” Another individual, who felt the surgeries ruined Thomas’ beauty, said, “She was so beautiful, but her surgery is a disaster.”
Thomas, who has spoken out about body image, reportedly had plastic surgery to change the shape of her nose. AI-generated images show how her nose might have looked as she aged naturally if she had never undergone the surgery.
Mindy Schneider, a television writer, shared in her memoir *Not a Happy Camper* that her mother wanted her to get a nose job from the same doctor who worked on Thomas.
Schneider remembered her mother saying that Thomas had her nose done by Dr. Silver on Madison Avenue. Her mom added, “He gives everyone that little upturned nose. Makes them all look like shiksas. You should go to someone else. Yours will look real. I’m getting some names.”
Thomas’ plastic surgery made her nose look less natural or real. This change is evident in how her nose appears now compared to how it might have looked as she aged naturally, according to AI-generated images.
Despite this, the actress believes that people should have the freedom to make their own choices about their bodies without facing judgments, comments, or criticisms from others.
