Kari Jackson slipped and fell Thursday night, March 24th at home (Los Angeles). Afterwards she rushed to the hospital, being 8.5 months pregnant, and had an emergency c-section. The baby, a girl they named Margot June, was stillborn. Kari was in ICU in critical condition as her blood was not clotting and she continued to bleed. After hours and hours of the doctors working on her, Kari's blood began to clot.
Since then, Kari's kidneys have stopped functioning and seem to not be improving with dialysis. The Doctors remain optimistic that with Kari's health and youth she can make a full recovery.
