A MIRACLE BABY IS BORN
The Associated Press brings us good news today:
A brain-dead pregnant woman who has been kept on life support to give her fetus more time to develop gave birth to a baby girl Tuesday, the woman’s brother-in-law said.
There were no complications during delivery and the baby “is doing well,” Justin Torres wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. The baby, Susan Anne Catherine Torres, weighs one pound 13 ounces and is 13 1/2 inches long, he said. The infant was delivered via caesarean section, the hospital said.
Susan Torres, a 26-year-old researcher at the National Institutes of Health, lost consciousness from a stroke May 7 after aggressive melanoma spread to her brain. Her husband, Jason Torres, said doctors told him his wife’s brain functions had stopped.
Jason Torres quit his job to be by his wife’s side, and last month her fetus passed the 24th week of development _ the earliest point at which doctors felt the baby would have a reasonable chance to survive, the brother-in-law said.
Keep the Torres family in your thoughts and prayers. Donations to the Susan Torres Fund can be made here.
