Roy's grieving husband said that she had contracted the coronavirus back in July and was hospitalized days later.
She spent long weeks on a ventilator until her condition worsened on August 13, forcing doctors to perform the surgery while she was only 25 weeks pregnant.
“I believe that she saved his life. She held on long enough for him to be born,” he said.
