Indiana – Autumn Carver has been in hospital for several months now battling the deadly virus and she almost ready to finally return home, doctors confirmed.

According to the doctors, Carver is expected to return home before Christmas and she can finally focus on her family including her two daughters and newborn son, whom she held for the first time in October.
“We are going home soon. Between Zach and I and our daughters we will probably be fighting over who gets to hold him,” she said.
She was hospitalized in critical condition while she was pregnant and she gave birth while hospitalized in August. Since then, she under constant medical supervision and her condition is finally improving.
“I have to pinch myself throughout the day because it’s been a wild ride, as you know,” Zach Carver said. “We almost lost her multiple times. For her to be next to me, I don’t have the words. My heart is full. I’m super-happy, super-blessed. We thank God multiple times a day.”
“He’s always been amazing, so there was never a doubt in my mind, but he’s certainly knocked it out of the park,” Autumn said.
Carver’s condition worsened since giving birth and doctors at one point believed that she will need double lung transplant. However, her condition started improving when she was transferred to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago where she undergone daily physical, occupational and speech therapies.
Her condition improved day by day and doctors in Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago determined that she will not have to undergo double lung transplant.
“Life is short, hug the ones you love,” Autumn said. “Like, I’ve always said: be a good person, treat people the way you want to be treated because life is too short for anything else.”
If everything goes as planned, Carver will be home in the upcoming weeks and she will be able to spend Christmas with her family after months-long battle with the deadly virus in hospital.
