remember the delivery at all. “It’s like I just woke up and everyone told me I had three new babies,” she said. “I didn’t feel like I had given birth.”
To help her piece together what had happened, Marisa’s family documented her time in the hospital through photos and videos. “Seeing those images helped me understand just how serious things were and slowly come to terms with the fact that I survived something so traumatic,” she added.
Her recovery was far from easy. Marisa had to relearn basic motor skills, including how to walk, all while adjusting to life with newborn triplets. But she and her family found moments of joy in the chaos — especially when their baby girls were finally discharged from the NICU and welcomed home.
Nurses from both the ICU and NICU celebrated the family’s incredible resilience and strength, marveling at how far they had come after nearly losing everything.
Looking back, Marisa remains deeply grateful. “There’s no doubt in my mind — if I hadn’t been at that hospital, surrounded by those doctors and nurses, I wouldn’t be here today.”
