COVID-stricken mom reunites with baby 2 months after birth

A 20-year-old New Hampshire woman has reunited with her new baby after fighting for her life against COVID-19 for two months

CONCORD, N.H. -- After giving birth, most new moms can't wait to see their child.

For Macenzee Keller, it would take more than two months, as she fought for her life against COVID-19 while under sedation and breathing with the help of machines.

Mother and child were reunited on Feb. 3 when Keller's mom brought the healthy, 11-pound, 13-ounce baby boy named Zachery to her hospital bedside.

“It was very emotional because I was like, ‘Oh, I got to finally see my baby that I was waiting for so long to see,’” said Keller, who has since returned home to Manchester, New Hampshire.
