At 39 weeks pregnant, James suffered a brain aneurysm rupture and collapsed in her home, per People. She was found unconscious by her husband. This led to severe bleeding and the emergency c-section.
After her daughter Knoxly Rose was born, the baby was placed in James’ arms while she was in her coma before spending the next 12 days in the NICU. Afterward, Knoxly was able to go home, while James remained hospitalized.
While she was in the coma, James underwent five different brain surgeries, alongside the c-section. Now, according to the family’s post, “doctors have been pleased upon her latest tests, numbers, and evaluations, noting that Jackie is performing above expectations at this stage of her recovery and is progressing more with every passing day.”
