Katya Gordon: "The first thing I wrote was a testament," an interview 2017

- Katya, congratulations, now you have two heroes - the elder Dania and little Leon!"Thanks, but he's not Leon anymore." I still came to the conclusion that this name is not suitable for my son, plus his father was against it. And we decided to name the younger Seraphim in honor of Seraphim of Sarov, one of my favorite saints.A photo: Anastasia Nekrasova-The whole pregnancy you led an active lifestyle, even to move to a new apartment had time, and then suddenly reported that they nearly died during childbirth. How could this happen?- Now I understand that I was a crazy woman. It is necessary to think of putting on so much: a pregnant woman worked, changed an apartment - bought a new one and sold the old one, started to make repairs, because she wanted to bring her son to the ready-made housing. It's good that the designer's girlfriend helped. Of course, it was stupid to combine everything at once. I moved before the birth, dreams come true, but what it cost me! Remembering this time, I realize that everything was at such insane speeds and logically ended with an "accident". I was put on February 27, but the last month of pregnancy is unpredictable. She planned that the son would be born in the hospital, which she had chosen in advance. But the water suddenly went away at the time I was driving. I decided not to wait for an ambulance and went to the nearest 3rd hospital. There it turned out that I had a serious problem with blood vessels, there was an aneurysm and I urgently need to operate. "" That is, the doctors overlooked? "- Doctors are not to blame for anything. During previous examinations an aneurysm was not visible on ultrasound. By the way, the fact that I was in this maternity hospital is some kind of divine coincidence, because in the place where I was going to, I would not have had the whole spectrum of resuscitation services. It would have been harder to save there. Later it was found out that with such a diagnosis as I have, it is necessary to lie constantly in the last months, because at any moment an aneurysm could burst. The child would be drowned, and I would die from the loss of blood. Therefore, strangely enough, in this story I was really lucky. In the middle of the night all the specialists were raised from the bed, performed an operation, poured me four liters of blood, and I survived.

The son immediately behaved like a man

A doctor came to my mother and said that death was possible. All the people I loved were just worse than me. I was somewhere far away, I saw "tunnels", met dead friends. I got an experience that I did not expect at all. "Remember how they came to themselves, saw their son for the first time?""The nurse asked me when I gave birth,answered that yesterday, she said: "Well, then, on the 22nd." I corrected her that on the 19th. I did not immediately realize that I was not alone for a day. So, in a normal state, I came on February 23 and saw my son at the same time. I was lucky with him, he was born hyper-healthy and very calm. All the nurses adored him, because unlike other children he did not cry, but somehow from the very beginning he behaved like a man. Due to the fact that she was on medicines, she could not feed him. But we talked every day: I somehow docked to it or brought it. In fact, in the maternity hospital the people cheered, laughed, laughed and did not understand why my relatives of such a green color come to me. My loved ones for a long time believed that Katya was a tank. And then for the first time they realized that this, it turns out, is not so. And now I'm drowning in care and love.Photo: personal archive of Ekaterina Gordon – Did the eldest son Dania know what was happening to his mother?- He was with my parents at that time.They always take him away for the weekend. Dania knew that I had gone to get my younger brother. He, however, asked for the older one right away. Naturally, they didn’t tell him anything. Dania was just waiting for his mother to return. His parents came with him, looked at me from the street below, and I looked at them from the window. To be honest, I only realized what had really happened when I was discharged. I got into the car, felt that I had no strength, everything was spinning. And then it suddenly dawned on me that it turned out that I could have died, it was a terrible operation, and I would be recovering for a long time.
