Mom's Amnesia to Son's Death After Brain Injury

Katelynn Ordone is reflecting on a devastating moment. More than two months after her 2-year-old son Preston Ordone, known as "Okay Baby" on TikTok, died in a car crash involving her and husband Jaelan Ordone, the matriarch shared an update on her health.

"I don't have any memory of the accident," Katelynn said in a July 3 TikTok video. "I suffered a traumatic brain injury and lost a lot of my memory."

While she couldn't recall the events of the crash on her own, Katelynn has pieced together some details, saying she was able to find her phone in the immediate aftermath of the accident.

"I called 911, first. I was on the phone with them for five minutes," Katelynn shared. "The only reason I know that is because I saw it in my call logs, and then my parents have told me that I called them."

During her phone call with her mom and dad, Katelynn said she managed to drop a pin for them to find her location but was otherwise "very much in and out of it." There were moments where she could talk, moments where she was just groaning and moaning in pain, and moments of silence where she wasn't talking at all.

However, just before help arrived for her and Jaelan, Katelynn's dad said she had a moment that has since solidified her faith in God.

"All of a sudden, I recited the Lord's Prayer perfectly on the phone with him," Katelynn explained. "And just so y'all know, after [my dad] told me that, I had to look up the Lord's Prayer. I have heard of it. I recognize it when I hear it, but I did not still do not know it well enough to recite it perfectly."

Katelynn confessed that she still has a "long journey to go" when it comes to healing, but that moment has helped her cope with the grief of losing Preston, whose cause of death was determined to be "blunt force injuries due to a motor vehicle crash" with the manner listed as accidental.

"It just has given me hope, and I feel like that hope is only through God," she shared. "Without God, I wouldn't know that I get to see him again."

Katelynn added, "I'm not here to say that that has taken away all the pain that I felt—trust me, I felt every little bit of pain—but God has given me the strength to keep going."
