A man wrote a book that he gave to his wife, who lost her memory while she was giving birth to a baby, detailing each step they had taken together during a 10-year relationship.

In the report published in The Independent newspaper, writer Sabrina Barr said that seven years ago, Camry and her husband Steve Corto had a son they called Gavin.

Jessica Smith, Camry's occupational therapist, explained that the latter suffered a stroke during childbirth, resulting in the loss of both short and long-term memories.

The writer said that the husband decided to write a book published by himself documenting their lives together in order to tell her the story of their first meeting, and included some distinctive memories such as the most beautiful positions of their readiness for the wedding, and the birth of their son.

The book, "But I Know I Love You," was released in memory of their marriage last month.

Pre-eclampsia
During the Good Morning America program, Steve explained that Camry had no complications during her pregnancy until the third trimester, when she began to vomit a lot. One day, when Camry was 33 weeks pregnant, she was taken to hospital after a swollen throat and difficulty breathing.

The writer reported that as soon as she entered the emergency room, Camry had a severe seizure. After the birth of the baby by caesarean section, doctors admitted that Camry suffered from pre-diagnosed pre-eclampsia.

Pre-eclampsia is a health condition that combines high blood pressure and proteinuria during pregnancy.

The WHO explained that although the majority of pre-eclampsia cases are not severe and may not have any impact on pregnancy, they may lead to serious symptoms such as severe headaches, nausea, heartburn and blurred vision. In addition, this condition can worsen to cause the mother seizures that may pose a risk to her and her child's life.

The author explained that when the pre-eclampsia situation actually developed into eclampsia, Camry went into a coma.

Steve said that when Camry woke up from her coma, "there was something unusual. She had no clue about her identity or having a child. She didn't know who I was and who her parents were."

She left the hospital after 30 days, but could not remember how to do simple tasks such as brushing her teeth or wearing her clothes. For the first few months after Gavin's birth, Camry stayed at her parents' home, while Steve looked after the baby in their home.

One day, when the couple were sitting together at Camry's parents' house, she told her husband, Steve, "I don't know who you are but I know I love you," which inspired the title of his recent book. Steve admitted that this sentence remained stuck in his mind and that it was a source of strength.

According to the writer, Camry regained her character with the help of her professional treatment and is writing down memories as a way to remember. Camry said the book helped her remember the details of her relationship with her husband and everything she had missed.
