Doctor’s Wife Dies Days After Giving Birth to Their Baby — And He Called the Code with Her in His Arms

In Buffalo, New York, Jared Wilson’s life took a tragic turn when his wife Caitlyn passed away just days after giving birth to their son Gabriel. The ordeal began with a complication during childbirth, where Gabriel’s umbilical cord became trapped. A swift emergency C-section saved the baby, but Caitlyn faced complications during her transition to general anesthesia.

Over the following days, Caitlyn’s health deteriorated despite appearing stable at first. She experienced issues related to aspiration, blood clots, sepsis, and organ damage. Despite exhaustive efforts from medical professionals, Caitlyn’s condition worsened.

On December 22, a second code was called, and Caitlyn could not be revived. This devastating loss left Jared to care for their two sons alone. Despite the heartache, he finds solace in the love they shared during their three and a half years together.

He also acknowledges the incredible care Caitlyn received from the medical staff. Though the loss is profound, their love endures, and Jared is determined to ensure their sons know their mother’s memory.
