Soon after a 38-year-old Wisconsin mom underwent an emergency C-section, she died of COVID-19, her family says.
It was gut-wrenching, her ex-husband, David Henderson, told WDJT. Adrienne Chandler had three children with Henderson prior to giving birth to her fourth baby with boyfriend Ryan Emperley.
We had our problems living together since we divorced earlier this year but both of our undying love for our children was absolute, Henderson shared to Facebook on Dec. 1. I never in a million years expected to be telling our kids yesterday that their mother died and I cant imagine a pain like that in my life.
I expected to be jointly raising these kids long into adulthood and both of us using our life experiences to guide them along this crazy ride of life we have.
Chandler and Emperleys newborn baby, Roman, is doing well, according to WISN, and Emperley hopes Roman will grow up to be like his mother.
She has a beautiful soul and my heart will always belong to her, Emperley told WDJT. She had a smile that would light a room and bring the absolute joy to everyones life.

Never mind. Article says she was not.

After all, she had likely just found out that she was pregnant right before healthy young people were approved to get the vax. I hadnt seen any testing on pregnant women in April/May of this year. Im not sure I have still. The vaccines still arent approved for toddlers, let alone newborns.
I have a close friend that had a baby this year and I know he and his wife took pause with it. Both highly educated, both hard-core liberals that are in no way anti-vax. Their Dr recommended she get the vax and possibly provide some level of immunity to their baby before it was born. They definitely weighed what they should do and I cant say as I blame them.
Note: I also am furious and sick to death of the willful refusal of anti-vaxxers, so point taken.
