Today we will hear from Ebony Ford for Part 1 of her story. Ebony is many things. A daughter, a gospel artist’s wife, a  a former paramedic & medical biller. I imagine when she was planning her life, she never saw herself being a Preeclampsia/HELLP survivor, a NICU mom, and now the owner of Miracle Mamas, LLC. Tune in to hear more about how, when her regular OB was out of the office and a dismission of her symptoms led to a life threatening condition, an arduous NICU journey, and long term recovery for her daughter.
