Doctors performed an emergency c-section after an ultrasound showed Sophia’s daughter Charlotte suffered from a brain bleed. Charlotte’s extremely low platelet count confirmed that she suffered from a disease called Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia. Thanks to platelet donations, doctors carried out an emergency platelet transfusion to stop the bleeding and save Charlottes life.
