Matthew Okula shared the emotional final moments with his wife, Hailey Okula, who passed away shortly after childbirth due to amniotic fluid embolism. They had been trying to conceive for two years, and just before her cardiac arrest, they shared a moment of laughter over the baby's size. Tragically, this rare complication, which severely impacts blood flow, claimed Hailey's life as she was eager to become a mother. Matthew expressed the profound loss he feels, remembering her loyalty and love.
"A minute later, the doctor lets me know that they're doing CPR on her. I'm making the decision, 'Am I going to the ICU to be with my wife or am I staying with my newborn little baby?'"
"She wanted to be a mom so incredibly bad," Matthew Okula told Fox 11.
"Words cannot convey the depth of the loss I feel... She was my everything."
