Jackie was found immediately by her husband, Austin, and was rushed to the emergency room and into an operation where they performed an emergency C-section and brain surgery simultaneously.

Jackie's family had confirmed in a June 8 Instagram post that she had "suffered an aneurysm rupture one week from her due date" in May and had been placed in a medically induced coma.

"The past few weeks have been incredibly heartbreaking, however the immense outpouring of love, support and generosity from family, friends, followers and strangers has been wildly touching and meaningful for Jackie's family."

The influencer remained in a medically-induced coma and underwent five separate brain procedures. Her baby girl remained in the NICU after 12 days due to the traumatic events of her birth. The picture at the top of this page was the first time Jackie, while in a coma, met her newborn baby.

In their latest update, the family said, "The doctors have been pleased upon her latest tests, numbers, and evaluations, noting that Jackie is performing above expectations at this stage of her recovery and is progressing more with every passing day.
