As Hurricane Milton neared Florida’s Gulf Coast, 22-year-old Kenzie Lewellen went into workers at 4 am on Wednesday in Port Charlotte. Lewellen and her partner, Dewey Bennett, faced the challenging task of getting to a clinic while bracing for the approaching storm, as reported by NBC News.
The wind had n’t but made landfall, but water was now seeping into their home when Lewellen’s cramps began. They were worried that flooded streets would prevent them from getting to the doctor in time because they knew they needed to act quickly at 39 months pregnant. Bennett, whose father had died after emergency services could n’t reach him during the storm, said,” I just did n’t want to go through what I had to go through with the last hurricane back in 2017″.
While contemplating removal to West Palm Beach, which was hit by nine hurricanes, they decided to stay put. When Lewellen’s cramps intensified after 4.5 hours of labour at house, they went to Sarasota Memorial Hospital in Venice. ” My dad was driving us, and it was really windy”, Lewellen said, adding that some cars were on the road due to the dangerous situations.
Once at the hospital, Lewellen’s mother was n’t allowed to stay with her due to hospital restrictions. ” I was very upset that my mum could n’t stay because she’s my best friend”, she said. Throughout the majority of the work, they managed to stay connected via FaceTime.
As the storms intensified, Lewellen watched from her doctor windows as strong gusts battered Sarasota. ” I was telling him,’ Oh, that trees looks like it’s going to travel out of the surface!'” she said. The trees later uprooted, heightening the stress of the day.
When physicians informed Lewellen that her child was in the wrong place and needed an incident C-section, issues developed. She was in serious pain until she was given anesthesia after receiving a failed spinal. ” I was really scared. If I did n’t have the doctors and nurses I had, it would’ve been a lot worse”, she said.
At 11.45 am, Dewey Lester Bennett IV was born, an 8-pound baby boy. Bennett said,” My cheeks hurt because I have n’t stopped smiling”.
Despite the surprise, Lewellen and Bennett were elated by their female’s comfortable appearance. Lewellen described it as” the most indescribable feeling” when they were holding their son for the first time. Reflecting on the birth, she added with a smile,” He is a miracle baby”.
