It is two steps forwards and one step back for Dunedin nurse Teresa Sevilla, who is still recovering after collapsing while heavily pregnant five months ago.
She is recovering in Wakari Hospital's Isis unit, where she has been for the past month, and preparing for what will hopefully be her last surgery.
Her progress has been slow but steady, and her husband, fellow nurse Heylon Sevilla, is hoping 2021 will be a much better year for his family than 2020.
Teresa was at work in Dunedin Hospital's intensive care unit on the night of August 3 when she collapsed.
She was 32 weeks pregnant at the time. A CT scan of her head showed a massive bleed.
