Looking at all these unusual conditions around her, she decided to give birth at home. This was rather a bold decision. However, she was going to give birth naturally, and the family thought this choice would help to take off the burden from the health care system. Therefore when she went into labor, McCoy was experiencing a “shoulder dystocia,” a condition that usually occurs in 2-3% childbirths. However, she was able to push the baby out with the help of her family members.
Her husband, Kyle Bosworth, describes it as a “miracle,” seeing his child back having pulse after a long time of 45 minutes. But their child McCoy went form the absence of oxygen for a long time and eventually could not recover from his brain injury. Therefore after fighting for 72 hours on a ventilator, he couldn’t make it alive. Even after all the strict protocols of the hospital, they allowed the whole family to say goodbye. Kara is heartbroken from this loss and is somehow trying to get over from the loss of her child. Her family and her own daughter are giving her will to go through this.
