At the onset of her pregnancy, Alma had to have a Thyroidectomy because she was experiencing acute heart failure with fluid in her lungs. She was pregnant with twins and one week after the surgery, her water bag ruptured. Alma managed to stay pregnant 5 weeks until her daughter’s placenta finally detached causing her to have an emergency C-Section. Alma gave birth to her second set of twins, Efrain and Elana. Alma’s husband, Joel is on active duty with the United States Airforce, stationed in Mississippi. Both babies are doing great, and the family is very grateful for all that RMHC-SLA has done to support them.
