Summary
Just eight months ago, Brie Bauer was 27-weeks pregnant with her third child when suddenly a life-threatening infection changed her life forever. After experiencing flu-like symptoms, Brie delivered a premature but healthy baby boy before spending the next 10 days in a coma where her body fought off streptococcal toxic shock syndrome from group A streptococcus.
With her strength and willpower tested, she made a brave choice that redefined her life in ways she never imagined: amputate her four limbs that didn’t receive enough blood and oxygen.
Today, Brie shares how she’s learning to embrace a “new normal” as she navigates life as a wife and mother of three. With unyielding spirit, she talks about the power of the support that surrounded her and how she continues to choose courage and joy every step of the way.
My friends, whether you’re facing challenges, or love someone who is, this conversation is a reminder that our lives are precious, priceless gifts and that there is an innate strength within each of us to tackle anything that comes our way.
