“She’s home. 🤍” Cori captioned a touching Instagram post of herself snuggling her daughter in bed. She also expressed her gratitude for the outpouring of support she had received, saying: “Thank you for every prayer, every message, every ounce of love. God heard them all.”
However, just weeks later, Cori’s heartbreaking message on Instagram Stories revealed how quickly their world had changed.
“20 days later? Dawg I’m sick,” she wrote.
The Difficult Start to Codi's Life
Cori had announced the birth of Codi with an emotional Instagram post on February 28, 2025. At just six months old, Codi was born prematurely at 25 weeks, and her journey to life was filled with both challenges and hope.
“The princess arrived at 6 months,” Broadus wrote, sharing a photo of her newborn’s tiny foot.
She openly expressed the emotional toll the premature birth had taken on her, revealing how much she had struggled with feelings of guilt and self-blame.
“I’ve cried and cried, I’ve compared and compared, blaming myself because I wasn’t able to give her all that she needed. But no matter what God always shows me that He got me!”
Cori continued: “Baby girl came at 25 weeks today and she’s the best!! Thank You God for getting me this far.”
Pregnancy Complications and Health Struggles
Cori had been open about the complications during her pregnancy.
She shared in her Instagram Stories that she was diagnosed with a severe condition known as HELLP Syndrome, which affects the blood system and liver and can be life-threatening if untreated.
Additionally, Cori revealed that her pre-existing lupus diagnosis made her pregnancy high-risk. Despite these challenges, Cori was determined to give her daughter the best chance at life.
In an interview with E! News, Cori explained how her autoimmune condition made her pregnancy even more difficult, but her love and dedication to her baby kept her going.
