Teen mum left unable to walk after epidural was ‘stuck in her spine for days’
A TEENAGE mum has been left unable to walk after doctors apparently failed to remove an epidural from her spine for three days.
Selena Gray, 18, was given the injection in her back to stop her feeling any pain when she went into labour on June 25.
The teen decided to check out of Sacred Heart hosptial where she gave birth and admitted herself to the hospital opposite - where doctors refused to touch her.
However, doctors were finally able to remove the epidural later in the day, and Selena was finally able to return home to her new baby girl.
She's still recovering from her traumatising ordeal.
The lodged epidural caused her legs to go dumb and for a while, she was looking at a worst case scenario of paralysis.
Officials from both the Sacred Heart and Baptist Hospitals declined to comment.
