Miracle Baby Born

Some may recall the inspiring story of Susan Torres, a young expectant mother whose cancer-plagued body suffered a stroke and lost consciousness, but continued to support the growth and development of her fetus. Three months ago Torres' husband Jason made the decision to keep his comatose wife alive in a race against the clock, hoping her body could produce a viable fetus before the cancer reached her womb. Happily, the effort ended in bittersweet success yesterday, when Susan Torres gave birth to a daughter by Caeserean section and then died.

Susan Anne Catherine Torres (1 pound, 13 ounces) remains in neonatal intensive care. Donations toward the Torres' lofty medical bills can be made here.
