A new father is reportedly struggling to live his life after his energy drink consumption left him with a hole in his skull after he was involved in accident.

AOL reports a woman named Brianna posted her and her husband Austin's story in a since-deleted Facebook post, detailing the family's battle.

While Brianna was nine months pregnant with their first child, she received a phone call that Austin had an accident and was in the hospital.

Austin had suffered a brain hemorrhage.

Doctors were able to eliminate alcohol or drugs as the cause of the hemorrhage, and later confirmed it was Austin's excessive consumption of energy drinks that led to his condition.

Briana says Austin's energy drink habit came from working long hours and commuting.

While it is not explained in Brianna's post, by looking at the photos of the couple together, it appears that part of Austin's skull was removed during his multiple surgeries.

Brianna gave birth to their son while Austin was still in the hospital. Austin woke up for the first time since his accident on the day of his son's birth.

"I had planned on Austin being a part of this huge moment," Brianna said. "Being by my side. Holding my hand. Being there to cut the cord. Being there to welcome our son into the world. It didn't feel right... But a beautiful miracle happened." 

Austin was finally able to see his son two months after his birth and has returned home.
