Some Lesser Known Facts About Jackie Miller James
- Jackie Miller James is an American social media influencer who is known for suffering from a brain aneurysm before her last week of pregnancy on 2 June 2023 and coming out of it on 3 July 2023.
- Before becoming a full-time influencer, Jackie spent six years working for a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. Additionally, she has prior experience as a backup dancer for various artists.
- On 2 June 2023, Jackie’s sisters revealed that Jackie was in her ninth month of pregnancy and was one week due to give birth when she suffered from a ruptured brain aneurysm which led to severe brain bleeding and injury. She was found unconscious in her home in California when her husband Austin took her to the hospital immediately. After reaching the hospital, the doctors performed an emergency C-section to deliver her daughter and also performed brain surgery. The child was taken to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) where she remained for 12 days. James was induced coma and underwent five separate brain procedures.
- According to the Cleveland Clinic, when a brain aneurysm bursts, about 25% of people pass away within a day, and around 50% die within three months due to complications. Among those who survive, about 66% suffer lasting brain damage. However, receiving appropriate medical care can lead to a complete recovery without significant disability.
- In the GoFundMe campaign, her sisters wrote,
