"Every Day Is One Day Closer" — Dr. Danielle Davis on Faith, Grief, and Motherhood After Loss
Dr. Danielle Davis shares the story of her son Lennon — a full-term, healthy pregnancy that turned into every parent's worst fear during labor. In this episode, she takes us through a home-to-hospital transfer, a birth that left Lennon without enough oxygen, a diagnosis of HIE, and the suspected medical negligence behind it. We also talk about the decision to say goodbye, secondary infertility, a high-risk pregnancy with her son Lincoln, and how Danielle turned her own fertility training into Kairos Fertility, a faith-based program for women trying to conceive after loss.
We talk about:
A PCOS diagnosis at 16 that she was told would keep her from conceiving naturally
A calm, complication-free pregnancy that turned into an emergency during labor
Lennon's HIE diagnosis, and the suspected medical negligence behind it
The decision to remove life support, and the hours spent saying goodbye
Requesting medical records months later, and what they revealed
A secondary infertility diagnosis, and using cycle charting to conceive Lincoln
Being followed at a high-risk placenta clinic throughout her pregnancy with Lincoln
Building Kairos Fertility, a faith-based fertility awareness program for women trying to conceive after loss
This episode is a reminder that grief and faith can hold each other, even when neither one has easy answers.
