Man returns from walk, hears strange noise upstairs—finds pregnant wife on floor unresponsive

Mom Whose Heart Has Stopped Successfully Recovers And Gives Birth To Her Baby

This North Carolina couple received the shock of their lifetimes. After taking the dog out for a walk, the husband heard some strange noises upstairs. He went to investigate and found something extremely disturbing.

The morning of July 2 was a seemingly ordinary North Carolina morning for Chris Severt. After returning from a morning walk with his dog, “[I] came back in, sat down in the chair and heard a weird noise coming from upstairs,” Chris said, as reported by azfamily. He hurried up the stairs and opened the bedroom door to find his wife, Mindy McLain Severt, unconscious on the floor. She was grasping her chest, and Chris could see she was not breathing.

He immediately started performing CPR. There was little time to spare; the fate of his future family was lying on the ground—Mindy was 18 weeks pregnant. Unable to revive Mindy, Chris called 911. Minutes later, emergency medical technicians (EMTs) arrived with an automated external defibrillator.

The technicians stabilized Mindy’s pulse just enough for a life-flight to CMC’s Sanger Heart Clinic in Charlotte, NC.

Doctors soon discovered Mindy had QT syndrome—a condition where the heart pauses much longer than usual. To fix Mindy’s terrifying ailment, she required two open-heart surgeries. First, doctors inserted a temporary pacemaker, and the second operation replaced the temporary pacemaker with a permanent one.

Mindy’s life was saved thanks to the valiant efforts of the heart clinic staff, but the fate of their first, unborn child was uncertain. All the doctors could say was the baby had a heartbeat and managed to survive the harrowing ordeal.

“It was honestly the greatest feeling you could ever imagine,” Chris said in reaction to the birth of his healthy, firstborn baby boy. It appears this couple received the best Christmas present any expectant parent could ask for—a happy and healthy family.
