Olympian Bode Miller’s Wife Morgan Beck Shares Ultrasound Of New Baby Boy With ‘Angel’ Of His Dead Sister

The 19-month-old daughter of Olympic skier Bode Miller and his wife Morgan Beck Miller died in June this year after drowning in a pool.

Paramedics performed CPR on Emmy before she was rushed to a hospital but they were unable to revive the toddler.

“Our baby girl, Emmy, passed away yesterday,” the couple wrote on Instagram in June.

“Never in a million years did we think we would experience a pain like this. Her love, her light, her spirit will never be forgotten.”

Months after the tragic incident, Today reported that Morgan shared an ultrasound image of her new son, which was taken only five days after their daughter passed away.

Morgan was pregnant when the incident happened. The baby boy was born on Oct. 5 exactly a month before what would have been his sister Emmy’s second birthday.

Morgan said that the photo, which she shared on Instagram, shows her boy and the “angel” of his dead sister who was protecting him.

She said that five days after losing her daughter, she reluctantly had an ultrasound tech check on her unborn baby. She added that she actually declined the tech’s offer of a 3D image, but the tech still took one saying that he had the perfect angle.

Morgan quickly noticed something when she looked at the ultrasound image of her child.

“He looked so much like my other babies, just like Bode with that sweet nose and those full lips,” she wrote on Instagram. “But as quickly as I saw this new baby, my eyes moved to the angel lying to the right of his face, holding him, arms around his neck. Almost as if to say, ‘It’s okay. I’m here.”

She said that she is holding onto the picture as a clear sign that her new son knows his sister, and that Emmy is still with them.

Following the death of their daughter, Bode and Morgan have embarked on a mission to raise awareness about the dangers of drowning. They hope that sharing their story can help prevent the tragedy they experienced from happening to somebody else.

Figures from the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that nearly 10 people die every day from unintentional drowning.

Pool safety expert Allyson Perez told Today that parents should get their babies in the water as early as 3 months. They will not learn to swim when they are this young but Perez said that this will build the foundation and skills that can make children confident in the water.
