Amber Becker woke up to numbness on her left side 19 days after the birth of her youngest child in November 2019. Thinking she had slept wrong, Amber drove herself to CHI Lakeside Hospital’s Emergency Room. Within 24 hours, her health had quickly deteriorated. An MRI revealed demylentation in her brain causing the neurological problems. However, doctors were unable to pinpoint an exact diagnosis. Ten days later, she arrived at Madonna’s Omaha Campus, determined to get back to her life role as a devoted wife and mom. Amber’s care team customized a therapy plan to allow her to continue providing nourishment for her young son. A month later, Amber returned home to her family. Further tests revealed a rare form of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) that required immediate chemotherapy. Despite the diagnosis and treatment, Amber’s positive attitude never wavered and when able, she continued with outpatient therapy. Today she’s grateful to be back to full-time mom duties.
