35-year-old Leah Jay Ramsey lives in Texas. Taking to Instagram, the influencer revealed that she lost her baby girl months after having surgery herself.
"Thank you to everyone who has messaged me, shared kind words, support, love, prayers, blessings, and even your own stories. I appreciate every single message and the effort it took to send it," she began. "We were so hopeful that Rowe would survive and that somehow we would get our happy ending."
Influencer Loses Daughter
"She was with me through everything this year threw at us," the influencer continued. "Through the infections, surgeries, hospital stays, fear, and uncertainty. She felt like my little sidekick, my hidden strength, and the reason I kept going."
She said that when she gave birth she knew something was wrong.
"There is nothing that can prepare you for giving birth and having the room completely silent," she wrote. "She was the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. We are absolutely devastated and trying to find our way through a heartbreak we never imagined."
The influence is thankful for the support and prayers during this difficult time.
"I'm sorry if I haven't replied to your messages. Please know I have read them and they mean more than I can put into words," she shared. "Thank you for loving our little girl, Rowe." She also addressed her late daughter as well. "You made it through infections and multiple surgeries, even when the odds were against you. But it just wasn't your time," she wrote. "We are absolutely devastated. Rest peacefully."
The influencer had open-heart surgery in February after doctors discovered an infection in her mitral valve. The event was serious but ultimately the influencer survived the surgery. Sadly, she suffered another tragedy months later. Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family during this difficult time.
