UPDATE: Mom Who Gave Birth in Coma While Fighting Coronavirus Holds Baby for the First Time

“Crying right now!!” Primachenko wrote on Instagram with a picture of her holding Ava in her arms for the very first time.

“Such a testimony to be able to hold my little Ava (the reason I’m wearing a mask is because everybody has to wear a mask now when visiting the NICU),” she wrote on Instagram. “Ava is doing amazing and gaining weight everyday like a champ! Another week or so and we will be able to take her HOME!!”

Her husband, David, and their 11-month-old daughter, Emily, did not test positive for COVID-19, so David has been able to hold Ava in the NICU.

Primachenko shared a video on Instagram of the sweet moment when Emily got to meet her little sister for the first time over the weekend.
