In the post, Macaiyla explains that Tyler drove her to the emergency room after experiencing the “worst pain of [her] life” on June 17. Once there, doctors revealed the devastating news that the couple was going to lose their baby.
Macaiyla was going through an ectopic pregnancy and would need to undergo emergency surgery. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, most often in a fallopian tube.

Macaiyla’s rupture was so severe that she lost almost half of her blood, required two blood transfusions, and lost one of her fallopian tubes during surgery.
“This whole process has been extremely hard for the both of us,” Macaiyla shared.
My T has been my biggest supporter these last few difficult days. A superhero.I have never felt more close to someone than I do right now. He is one of the strongest people I know. I am so proud of him and every single thing he does. Please show some love to him whenever you can.
