My Husband And His Energy Drink Addiction

Brianna and Austin were so excited to meet their new baby boy. 

But one morning, Austin’s mum phoned with life changing news.“Austin had an accident” she told the worrier mum to be.

After a long drive to the hospital, Brianna learned that Austin had had a brain hemorrhage.

 But the reason behind the sudden horror was just as unexpected.

Austin had been drinking energy drinks ever since he’d started picking up over time and had to commute more regularly.

Brianna learned that Austin had had a brain hemorrhage. But the reason behind the sudden horror was just as unexpected.

It became a regular habit and soon, Austin was drinking them excessively. Doctors say they’re ultimately what caused Austin’s brain hemorrhage.

Brianna said Austin had to have a lot of brain surgery to save his life, everyone was terrified. 

Following this were strokes, seizures, swelling, and more things we weren’t prepared for.

“Then the time had come for me to deliver our baby”.

“I’m not going to lie to anyone, it was so hard. I had planned on Austin being a part of this huge moment. Being by my side. Holding my hand. Being there to cut the cord. Being there to welcome our son into the world. It didn’t feel right”.

“But a beautiful miracle happened as I delivered our son. Austin woke up”.

Austin was still too weak to see his son and was in and out of consciousness.

Brianna said ” At a little over 2 months old, our son finally met his dad. A day I wasn’t sure I would ever see. That was the day that my heart gained some of its happiness back.

Some time after that he could finally come home to me. Our life isn’t normal. There are doctors visits and hospital trips — so many that I lose count”.

“But we are here. Fighting”.
