Baby Breklyn's Birth Story and Death 10 Hours Later Due to Infection

Mom Corchele describes getting pregnant with her fiance Mark and having an uneventful pregnancy with her daughter Breklyn. However, at 39 weeks, Corchele remembers feeling terrible and having a fever. When they go into the hospital, she tells how Breklyn was in distress, so they did an emergency C-section. They gave her ketamine, because the epidural/nerve block wasn't taking effect quickly enough.
Breklyn was born, but had to be revived and kept on life support, since Corchele was sedated. Once Corchele awoke, she and Mark made the heartbreaking decision to take Breklyn off of life support. She passed away 10 hours later. The doctors concluded later that she like died due to an infection call chorioamnionitis that was missed during Corchele's intake at the hospital.

12 years ago my daughter passed away at 13 days old. I got severe pre e at 28 weeks, delivered her. She was 1 lb 11 oz, as she was growth restricted. Until that moment everything was fine. Then both of our lives were at risk. We delivered her, and she fought so hard for 13 days. But it was just too much for her tiny body. I hate that I am one of the many moms who have lost a baby. But I love talking about her.

[@citrineandclover9743]

I am so, so very sorry to hear of the loss of your precious daughter. I lost my nephew that was born at 21 weeks, his twin was able to stay in her mother's womb until 25 weeks and she just turned 5 years old. Every time I look at her, I wonder what her twin brother would be like. It's so heartbreaking to lose a baby, and although I haven't been a mother in this situation, the heartbreak my sister went through losing her only son was the hardest thing. The pain was palpable. Talk about your baby girl often. She is still with you, every single day. It's good for the heart and soul to tell her story. You're in a place of love and caring. I sincerely hope you are doing okay mentally and emotionally and I'm glad you can talk about your sweet daughter ❤️ 🕊 Hugs to you sweetie

[@alabamajenny8751]

I want to say first to nurses out there, those of you here, I want to thank you for your hands. Those hands that don’t even know our names. To those who have gripped our hands so tightly when we were in the trenches of fear, in pain, or just anxious. Your hands, some cool and soothing, others warm and reassuring, all of your hands given so willingly to us to get through the moment. I say thank you. Thank you from each of us. If I had names of all the nurses, the ones who gave me their hands, I would name you personally and hug your necks. You may have not even realized it. But those moments when you needed that woman to woman bond, as it were, meant everything. Life is so fleeting. Thank you so much for being the angels you are.

[@brega6286]

Thank you Alabama ! As an RN (now retired) I have felt the fear,anguish and confusion of many. It was my privilege to have been there to give any comfort possible. For me, being a nurse was a calling. Many battles to not just fall into being a robot due to economic rules etc. was more of a struggle than the work I knew was important and best for my patients. And thank you for your "hugs".

[@carolpearson6348]

Three months ago my daughter-in-law gave birth after a lengthy labor. We are in Utah and my grandson is probably one of the babies that was saved by the actions you took following the loss of your sweet baby. Mom wanted a natural birth, but baby wasn't in the correct position so a C-section became necessary. Baby was also close to 10 pounds. There are so many parallels. Even though he was large, he ended up spending a week in the NICU but the difference is that they were able to bring him home. I hope it brings you comfort to know Breklyn's death has made a difference.

[@Skzsnumber1fan]

Breklyn was a beautiful little baby girl, and you are such a strong, brave momma for sharing your story so candidly. As a former NICU nurse, I applaud you for the action you and her dad took to ensure the safety of other babies in Utah. Both of my babies were preemies and in the NICU themselves and that was scary enough. I can’t even imagine what you and your husband went through. ❤️

[@christineroussin1177]

I have never shared this with many people. I was 5 mos pregnant in 1977. Thanksgiving Day I went into labor. My mom contacted her OB/GYN with the situation as my Dr was in Massachusetts. I ended up delivering our baby on the toilet. My sister took me to my room to put clean dry clothes on. At that time my mom & husband removed the baby from the toilet & put it in a cup, paper bag & wrapped it in a blanket. Once I got to the hospital the baby & I were put into an ER room. I knew the baby was there. A nurse came in, asked how I was then stated oh they haven't prepared the baby, at that time she removed the baby and gave me the only memory I have of that baby was the sound as it thunk into the stainless steel bowl. (I never saw the baby I was only told what my husband & mom chose to tell me.) I told the Dr about it & I heard him send her to a conference room but the damage was done. The hospital took responsibility of disposal of the body-my husband never told me how that was handled. There was no funeral. The week after we returned to MA I went to my Dr, it was at that time that I found out the baby became a boy. My Dr didn't want to tell me the sex because she said I would want to name "it" etc. She left the room, leaving my file so I went through it, that is when I found "male child lost through spontaneous abortion". I did name him Michael. His dad & I never really discussed any of this. In June of 1978 I delivered a full term baby girl. (I lost her 6 yrs later due to a car accident) God has taken care of me through losing both of my children which I'm blessed. My advice to anyone who loses a child talk about them and don't let others not talk about them. They are children you lost and will always be your children.

I'm sorry I couldn't edit so that year Michael was born was 1976.

I'm pretty sure Breklyn saved my baby boy. I had 2 small leaks at 35 weeks and went to L&D to get checked. There was barely any water coming out. I'm sure the old tests Utah hospitals used wouldn't have picked it up. They started me on pitocin that day because I had no contractions. He had pneumonia after he was born and spent 2 weeks in the NICU. If that test came out negative, I know he wouldn't be here. He's now a happy, healthy 3 year old. Thank you, Breklyn. ❤

I truly got a "What would Jesus do" feeling about the outcome of Breklyn's story. Her life and loss has been used to save other babies, instead of monetary gain. No legal settlement could bring Breklyn back. She has a wonderful legacy thanks to the selflessness and godliness of this family. ✝️💜

Your story brought some long needed healing to me as my baby girl Tammy died in a crash I was also involved in and my injuries prevented me from being involved in her farewell in any way. No goodbye, no holding , nothing. I see how it could have been. Much of that happened but without me. Makes me have a deeper thankfulness to all those who took care of of Tammy’s Celebration of Life. God gave me a dream a few weeks later where I was able to hug her and say goodbye. And One night in my deepest pain God’s voice gently spoke through me and said simply, Sandra, Tammy is with me now. Comfort from heaven in our pain.❤️🙏

What a beautiful baby girl & such a beautiful name. Very special. It was 24 years ago that I had a complete abruption where the placenta completely tears away from the uterus. I was 7 1/2 months . It took almost 2 hrs to get from where I lived to a hospital & an emergency c section. I wasn't supposed to survive the surgery.I lost 2/3 of my blood. My little girl Emily lived for 9 days before we had to let her go. I brought her into the world & I was privileged to hold her as she went to God. It was one of the most painful days of my life. I think of her multiple times a day when I see my palms that are permanently red from what happened to us. They may only be with us for a short time, but they always take a piece of us with them.

I lost my son at 12 days old. He was born November 29th, 2020. He passed away December 11th, 2020. His name was Oakley Jonah, and he was the sweetest little tiny 6lb 11oz baby, so quiet and so curious. He passed in his sleep one Tuesday night around 4am. His cause of death was SIDS unfortunately. We will always hold our short and sweet memories of him so close to our hearts. He is remembered by both mommy and daddy, both of his brothers Waylen and Leland, and his sister Adalie. Now he is about to have another brother hand picked by him, from God Baby Wylder Silas. God wanted him home up in Heaven with him bc he was too special and perfect for this world. Infant loss is so not talked about enough, and many people don't know what parents really go through, so this channel is great for people to listen to I really enjoyed it. It gives parents a place to come and tell their story. That is so great!

My mother had 2 stillbirths. As children ourselves at the time we had been aware our pregnant mother had gone to the city , by ambulance (6hrs) and come home without bringing back a baby. We’ve never discussed it with Mum (92y) but probably should. There is now a memorial garden at the city’s largest cemetery to all the stillbirths that are buried in a mass grave. In those days, 1960s, most stillbirths weren’t treated as they are now. There was no photos, no funeral , no outward grieving. I’ve always felt the loss of not having the 2 could have been siblings. Mum did eventually have a pregnancy which culminated in the birth of my dear young brother.

But they embraced forgiveness and became a force for good and allowed their daughter to bless and save many other lives.

[@ginacable5376]

What a brave lady and beautiful baby.

[@Colby_914]

So sad! My heart breaks for you all. I lost my first baby, Jacob, when he was 5 1/2 months old to SIDS. It was the first funeral I went to. Sending healing vibes and much peace.

[@lisaedwards931]

So sorry for the loss of your beautiful baby girl she is gorgeous 🙏🏼💖🌸

[@StillAPartofUs]

Thank you so much

[@buglove515]

I have an 8yr old daughter, Brecklyn Grace. I just started watching, I just rarely hear of other Breklyns/Brecklyns ❤ so I love her name.

[@StillAPartofUs]

It is a beautiful name. Thank you for sharing.

[@corchelesmith8998]

AHHH! I LOVE this! I love hearing of other little girls with the same name. It's such a unique name!

[@brilliantbutblue]

Thankyou Corchele for sharing beautiful Breklyn May with us, and for all the babies alive today that Breklyn May lives on through the changes implemented in her honour you truly are a wonderful person🙏 I too have experienced ketamine when needing intubation in ICU and l can relate that it is exactly as you described and l never ever want to experience that again, it is frightening as it's all going on around you, working on your body but you cannot speak, move or respond, l am so sorry they used this and robbed you of precious moments with your baby Girl. 💞

[@StillAPartofUs]

Thank you. The work that they have done in changing the intake process at the hospitals is a wonderful legacy they have done for their little Breklyn. In regard to ketamine, that does sound so horrifying. When she and you speak of knowing what is happening around you, but not being able to do anything about it sounds like true terror.

[@corchelesmith8998]

Goodness you had to experience ketamine too? I would not want anyone else to experience it.

[@gailcaldwell1512]

I’m so sorry for this family. Having lost more than one child, I understand the grief that goes with this. It is hard to pick up and move on. If it were not for our faith in GOD I can’t even imagine how we’d have gotten through it all. And even though it’s been a few years since my last loss, the loss is still there.

[@thelighthousefjcproduction5597]

I’m sorry for your loss She’s beautiful God Bless y’all.

[@mfrances3374]

Thank you for sharing your journey with the world. I'm so sorry for your loss, but am so happy that this lead to Utah changing the law. May she rest in eternal peace.

So much respect for her parents ❤

[@StillAPartofUs]

It was such a beautiful tribute to their daughter and the legacy that they are building in her name is so amazing.

[@runningraven]

What an adorable little baby. I'm very sorry! 🥺

[@angie14124]

Wow! That was heart moving to say the least. I’ve always believed we are all sent to earth to serve a purpose, especially when , like in your case, it’s little babies. I used to ask god how he could be so cruel, taking babies away from their families, leaving parents heartbroken, grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings. but now I know those babies ALWAYS have a purpose. In my heart, I think little ( or not so 😁) Breklyn was given to you so she could go on to save many many babies lives. What a wonderful job she did too! 💕. I also believe god chose you as her mommy and daddy because he knew that once he called her back home, you knew exactly what needed to be done to help these other babies live.. words cannot describe the admiration I have for you both for the way you decided to take her off life- support so she didn’t feel any more pain. That’s why she was sent to you, because god knew you would send her back pain free. I have one Angel baby myself, and three angel Grandbabies, none of them made it to a gestational age of any intervention being offered, so we sadly lost them. I know they had a purpose, but I think I’m looking too hard to see it. ☹ But one day? X God bless you and your family, you’re in my prayers xox

[@joancottam6956]

My daughter is becoming a Doula she’s a nurse as well. Your daughter was beautiful and still is beautiful angel I had eight pregnancies and I have four children and my oldest son was killed tragically in a hunting accident. There’s no time limit on grief my son left me 16 years ago, but it feels like yesterday.

[@I_AM_ME_777]

This made me so sad!! My heart is so broken for her! I couldn’t imagine this type of pain, such a beautiful baby omg 😭😭

[@desert_moon]

I'm so very sorry for your loss!!! ❤ I had chorioamnionitis and endometritis in 1990 with my 3rd baby, caused by group b strep/gbs. I had apparently been been screened in late pregnancy for gbs and was positive for it but never got IV antibiotics for it in labor. (It was a fairly new thing to test for at the time.) I developed a fever right after the birth (labor was 3hrs) but it wasn't until the next day that I was actually diagnosed. I was in the hospital for 1 week on 2 IV antibiotics and she was in the hospital for 2wks on 2 IV antibiotics. I've never felt so sick in my life!

[@StillAPartofUs]

That sounds so horrible.

[@girlgeekFL]

I lost a boy at 22 weeks 18 years ago to a GB strep infection. So heartbreaking when I hear of others who have endured the same.

[@horselady4375]

I am so really sorry for your loss.you will be with her paradise .sending my heartfelt love

That little girl is better than an angel. She is with the Lord. Will always be with you.

[@TanyaJo]

What a beautiful little girl. Ty for sharing I will make sure about testing with daughter

[@janicescott6569]

You are very brave. I know it helps you to talk about your experience and to make known and dignify this most precious baby girls life. I’m sure this helps immensely for ones who have lost a baby in death. So thankful you have your new addition. May Jehovah God bless your family always.💐

[@kerrymain1623]

My heart goes out to this beautiful family and may I say little Breklyn looked so absolutely gorgeous I'm not criticising them but I'd want pics of my sleeping babe but before signs of her gaining her angel wings were visible I wouldn't be able to look at pics of my baby if she didn't look like she was sleeping well that's how I think I would want them too look but then again I not been in that position so maybe I'd want every possible pic to be taken and I want to say your one very amazing true mother and I'm super sorry for your loss there's no words that can ease the pain of your babe getting her wings or words of comfort that you haven't heard already million times already that u wished you hadn't heard I experienced loss many times it never gets easier we just learn to live life differently to how we had hoped planned maybe even prayed for you may not know me but I promise I feel your pain and I will be thinking of you and your family if you don't mind I will say a prayer for you again so sorry my love x

[@StillAPartofUs]

Thank you for those kind words. Some parents have those feeling where they would want to remember their child a certain way, and some parents want all the photos they can have because this will be the only time they will have with the child.

[@corchelesmith8998]

I wanted any and all pictures I could get. And I'm so thankful for each of them.

[@janiceavila3616]

Bless this mama. She is so sweet for saying she doesn’t blame anyone & things happen the way they are suppose to. BUT the hospital should’ve checked to see if her water broke. It was negligent, especially with a fever. I’m glad she has made peace with it but it’s wrong.

[@liigachka3]

So sorry for your loss, Breklyn was such a beautiful little girl with the face of an angel. 🤩💖 Those cheep strip tests are no good. I don't live in USA but I think the same or same kind of tests are used in our hospitals too, because I have bad experience with them too.13th of September this year I had a gush of waters and since I was exactly 41 weeks pregnant that day, I went to hospital and told them my waters had broke. The midwife checked me with a test strip that looked a lot like cheep ovulation test strips and she told me the test was negative and I must go home since I don't have any contractions. She told me that I'm not in labour. So we went home. My husband was a little grumpy because he excused himself from his work only for us to get sent home by a midwife because apparently I wasn't in labour. I was sure though that my waters had gone because that gush of waters was maybe like about 500 ml of waters and I was sure it wasn't pee because being 41 weeks pregnant every time I went number 1 there was just a little tiny bit of pee... so I was just really confused why it didn't show on the test strip. Luckily for us I went in labour the next day and had a speedy 3 hours 16 minutes delivery. Thank God for that, because if it would have gone on for longer I don't know if our baby would be born healthy. I guess it's needless to say I didn't have any waters leeking or gushing after that initial gush on 13th. And of course the hospital staff didn't acknowledge I went in labour the previous day or that my waters broke that same day I came to hospital the first time, it was all like - congratulations, you had a speedy 3 h delivery! 🤔

[@tammyherrin9536]

My daughter had a similar situation with her first baby. She had been experiencing labor pains for about a week and had been to the hospital twice and they sent her home both times. The morning she woke up with water trickling down her leg she called the hospital and they told her about filling a pad within an hour and that if she didn’t not to come in. She called me and told me the situation and I insisted that she go in and be checked! Fortunately the test did show that she was in labor and martie was born healthy. If she had not went in I’m afraid of what could have been. Her second child she waited to go in almost to the point that she was giving birth because they had sent her home telling her she wasn’t having contractions together close enough. By the time she went in it was almost too late for an epidural. These intake ppl need to listen to the patient. No one knows your body better than you!!! Her dr was angry when she heard they had sent her home! She told her she should have been admitted hours ago and she had a talk with some ppl at the hospital that day. She also told my daughter to go by her pain level and NOT by timing the contractions!!! My grandson was born with a heart defect and has had two open heart surgeries in his first year of life. We are very fortunate and blessed to have not suffered losses during these times. I admire breklyns parents for not suing or bringing legal charges against the hospital. I couldn’t have been as merciful. Peace and blessings to your family always.
