Amy Childs was 35 weeks pregnant with twins when she was diagnosed with babesiosis – a tick-borne disease not as common as Lyme but extremely serious and potentially life-threatening. She was rushed to UConn Health where a multidisciplinary team including maternal-fetal, infectious disease, and hematology experts were waiting for her. After needing more than 100 transfusions of blood products, Amy recovered and is extremely grateful to the care providers who worked around-the-clock to save her life and the lives of her twin boys.
