    I'm so glad this medical scare didn't turn into something worse. I'm glad you're on the path towards healing. I know what it's like to suddenly lose a mother at a fairly young age so this story was particularly touching to me. What a blessing that you're now a mother of 3. I remember when you had JUST moved to Namibia. It's amazing how time flies. Anyways it's always great getting a life update from you. Until next time wishing you a healthy life.

    The song in the last clip is so fitting. Praising Jesus, especially the part in the song that says “he carries all my burdens”. Thank you for sharing your experience, as someone who is not a parent yet but am in the planning stages this is type of information I would never have known about. We thank God that you are alive and on the road to recover. And welcome to the world little Ekandjo.

It's wonderful that you were proactive and had a responsive doctor who, by the grace of the Most High, averted what could have been a tragic loss. I thank the Most High YAH that both of you are doing well. I also enjoyed the singing by your husband and mother-in-law. Please share more in the future. YAH bless you all! 🙏🏾🤗🙏🏾

    Hat injection is very painful.
    I remember being hospitalised for blood clot in my lungs immediately I got the COVID vaccine.
    The doctors called it pulmonary embolism.
    Quick recovery.
    It makes me get worried especially when I feel my body acting funny.
    Much love from Kenya

    The godmother of Blaxit movement. You were one of the first, if not Thee first to do it. I’m so happy you and baby are well. I’m so happy you and all of your children and husband and in-laws are well. Praise God you had doctors that listened to you and believed you. I know you miss your family in America. I pray you get to see them soon. But when I tell you there’s absolutely nothing …I mean nothing here in Amerikkka for a hydrated, loved on, supported, Black woman (Black man and children). You are so blessed and I pray you have a long life with your husband, children and family in Africa. God bless and keep you. ❤ oh and somebody already said it, but I have to co-sign on the compression socks. Wear them even around the house. Athletes wear them to deal with fatigue not just anti Bloodclots. God bless.

    Hi Kaylan. I would just like to offer you some hope and tell you that you will be just fine. I also suffered multiple blood clots on my lungs and had heart failure right after my c-section in 2019 here in Windhoek. The worst part of all of it for me was that I could not breastfeed and that broke me more than my diagnoses. I am glad you and baby are both fine, and that you listened to your body. I too thought it was exhaustion and brushed it off and if it hadn't been for my doctor friend who convinced me to go to the emergency ward, I would have probably never went.

    • @AfroAmericaninAfrica

    Beautiful video Kaylin. I’ve been watching you for years and this is my first comment🙂. Baby is beautiful and strong. So happy you are ok. I’m a 🇨🇦 Nurse, don’t forget to wear compression stockings for long distances. Also, needles can be stored in a plastic container (ie. old jug) and taken back to pharmacy for disposal. Continued blessings to you and your family🙂🙂

    When you began describing the symptoms, I immediately thought it sounds like a pulmonary embolism. My grandfather died at 45 years old from a pulmonary embolism. His was due to being in a diabetic coma for a month a therefore not ambulating. His started as a DVT in the leg and traveled into the lung. I’m so happy you followed your gut. So many people do not. 🙏🏾
