The family of YouTube personality Grace Victory is updating her fans on her ongoing battle with the coronavirus.
According to the message posted to the British vlogger’s Instagram on Monday, Dec. 28, Grace tested positive for COVID-19 two weeks ago while in the third trimester of her pregnancy. Her worsening condition led doctors to induce labor on Dec. 24, even though she wasn’t due to give birth until February 2021.
“As you guys know, Grace gave birth on Christmas Eve to a beautiful baby boy, who is currently doing so well, he’s incredible,” the post stated. “We Love him so much. Grace developed Covid-19 two weeks ago and although her symptoms were mild at first, they worsened as the days went on. Which meant they had [to] deliver the baby as soon as possible, as she was just too unwell to carry on with the pregnancy.”
The 30-year-old YouTuber entered the ICU the day after giving birth and is currently in a medically induced coma.
“Grace was admitted into intensive care on Christmas Day due to issues with her breathing & therefore they had to make the decision of placing her into an Induced Coma, to give her body the rest it needs, in order to recover,” the post continued.
The message added, “She’s currently stable but please keep her in your thoughts & prayers.”
Her family shared their love for Grace and expressed their confidence “that she’ll come out of this stronger than ever. She has dedicated her whole career to healing people, we now ask that you pray, to heal her.”
Grace celebrated her two-year anniversary with boyfriend Lee on Nov. 11 by posting, “Two years of loving each other.” Lee shared her family’s message on his Instagram Story on Dec. 28, followed by a tender photo of the two of them.
