Susan Anne Catherine Torres was born today. She is two months premature and weighs less than two pounds. In most circumstances this would be considered horrible, however Susan's mother has been brain dead for over three months so that changes things.
The mother, also Susan Torres, suffered a stroke in early May because of brain cancer. Little Susan was born not just because of the wonders of modern medicine, but also because of the kindness of strangers who have donated $400,000 to cover all the medical bills that the insurance companies won't. There will surely be a lot of people praising the doctors for this little medical miracle, but I think it is high time to praise those charitable individuals who gave of themselves so that little Susan might live.
