Update on the lady from last night

As many of you know we had a lady come to the hospital last night who was 7 months pregnant and in labor. She had high blood pressure and went into premature labor. Since the baby was breech they really wanted to do a C-section. It was very difficult to get an IV into her and by the time they finally got the IV in she had started to push. Since she was only 4 cm the baby had great difficulties getting out. The head got stuck and they had to cut the cervix to get the head out. This took quite a bit of time and sadly the baby had died by the time it was born.
It was a beautiful little boy who is now with Jesus.
Thankfully they were able to save the mother. As of this morning she is doing fine. She had no excessive bleeding and she should recover well.
Pray for her and her family. I'm sure it is very difficult for her to have just lots her baby.
