Diana Paola Angola was 21 weeks pregnant when she taken to the hospital and then admitted after catching COVID -19.
Her condition was critical, and she was placed into a coma for 21 days while doctors performed an emergency cesarean.
Diana’s baby was born 14 weeks premature and depended on the care and expertise of the medical staff around her as her mom was still very ill.
This was Diana’s second child, she also has an 8-year-old daughter who tested positive for Covid-19 but made a fast recovery.
After 21 days Diana came out of her coma to find she’d given birth to her gorgeous baby girl who was doing well despite her premature birth.
When it was time for Diana to leave the hospital, little did she know the surprise that was waiting for her.
Her partner Jefferson Riascos Echeverry surprised her with a waiting room full of nurses and doctors each holding a letter that collectively asked the question: “Will you Marry Me.”
The couple have been together for 13 years and after what Diana had been through he not only wanted to make her his wife but also do it in the most romantic way possible.
He had flowers and a beautiful ring to propose to Diana, who was still too weak to walk and had to use a wheelchair.
Diana accepted the proposal describing her partner as “a wonderful man” and said that she was taken by surprise because “we no longer thought of getting married.”
Overcome with emotion Diana thanked medical staff for taking such good care of her and her baby girl.
Jefferson said he was “grateful to God and the Virgin Mary” and was looking forward to the whole family being reunited again.
