LEBANON — After a two-month battle with COVID-19, 20-year-old Macenzee Keller of Manchester was able to meet her 2-month old son, Zack, for the first time at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center on Feb 3.

Days after being diagnosed with COVID-19 and shortly before her due date, Keller was rushed to Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, where she was put on a ventilator and her baby was born via Caesarean section on Nov. 28, 2021. Unconscious and critically ill, Keller was transferred to DHMC before she was able to meet her baby.
