Miracle child passes on
This news is another dark spot on the sun. The poor man lost his wife and now the child he had hoped to save.
- Philadelphia Inquirer | 09/13/2005 | Infant girl born to severely brain-damaged woman dies: "McLEAN, Va. - A girl born last month to a severely brain-damaged woman died yesterday after emergency surgery to repair a perforated intestine.
Susan Anne Catherine Torres, who was born prematurely Aug. 2 after her mother was on life support for three months, died at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, a family statement said.
The infant's condition had deteriorated rapidly during the weekend, according to the family. Her prematurity led to an intestinal disorder and an infection that overwhelmed her body, and she died just after midnight, the hospital said."
