Jackie Miller James is on the road to recovery after a year full of health scares.
The family of the California-based influencer, 35, revealed in June that Jackie had suffered an aneurysm rupture one week before she was expected to deliver her and her husband Austin James‘ first child. “While her baby girl is now healthy and home from the NICU, Jackie will remain in the hospital for the foreseeable future,” they shared via Instagram at the time.
According to a GoFundMe page set up by her family, Jackie was transported to a hospital after being found unconscious by her husband. Upon arriving at the hospital, she simultaneously went under brain surgery and a C-section. Jackie was placed into a medically induced coma and subsequently underwent five other brain surgeries.
Her family announced via Instagram in July that Jackie woke up from the coma and was “transferred to one of the best neurological rehabilitation hospitals in the country.” They also noted that Jackie had been reunited with her baby girl “and spends a great deal of each day with her entire family while in the hospital.”
