Katelynn Ordone is sharing an update on her health after her and husband Jaelan Ordone’s son, Preston, died in a car accident at age 2.

“I don’t have any memory of the accident. I don’t have any memory of 2-3 days after the accident. I don’t have much memory of being in the hospital until towards the end,” Katelynn said in a Thursday, July 3, TikTok. “I suffered a traumatic brain injury and lost a lot of my memory.”

Katelynn and Jaelan’s friends shared in April that Preston, known as “Okay Baby” online, died in a single-vehicle car accident. Both his parents sustained injuries, while his sister, Paisley, 7, was at school. Us Weekly confirmed in May that Preston died from “blunt force injuries due to a motor vehicle crash.” The St. Tammany Parish coroner’s office ruled his death as accidental.

While Katelynn doesn’t have memories of the incident, her father, Glen Norris, informed her of a call she made moments after the crash.

“The accident was awful and somehow I was able to get ahold of my phone,” she explained on Thursday. “I called 911 first. I was on the phone with them for five minutes. 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.”

Katelynn doesn’t recall sending her parents her location, but knows she told them to “get there” ASAP.

“I was on the phone with my mom for about five minutes,” Katelynn said. “She said she could just hear the pain in my voice. I was groaning in pain and she said she just couldn’t handle it anymore.”

Katelynn’s mom went on to try to find the family and handed the phone to Norris, who spoke with her for about 19 minutes.

“He could hear people asking me if I had kids, and I was saying, ‘I don’t know.’ I was just out of it,” she said. “There [were] moments that I could talk, there [were] moments that I was just groaning and moaning in pain and then there [were] moments of silence where I wasn’t talking at all.”

Katelynn claimed that she began speaking the Lord’s Prayer “perfectly” while on the phone, even though she did not know the words. She shared that learning of that moment and feeling God’s “presence” has guided her as she grieves her son.

“Without God, I wouldn’t know that Preston’s at perfect peace right now,” Katelynn said. “I get to be there with him one day again. So I just wanted to share that. I still have a long journey, a long ways to go. I feel like I truly, truly could not get through this without Him.”
