Susan Anne Catherine Torres

I was saddened to learn that the baby born to Susan Torres, a severely brain-damaged woman who was on life support for 3 months while her baby grew and developed, passed away.

The infant's condition had deteriorated rapidly during the weekend, according to the family. The baby's prematurity led to an intestinal disorder and an infection that overwhelmed her body, and she died just after midnight, the hospital said.

My prayers are with the family.  I imagine little Susan's daddy must be grieving more than I will ever know or comprehend.  I pray that he will find some level of peace after losing his wife and his daughter.

Life isn't fair sometimes. How sad. I remember reading about this lady and her plight; and her husband. Now he is all alone.
How awful. I hope he'll be ok.

I had to note the passing of this little miracle, too. I'm not sure I can put my finger on why, because it's wrapped in so much grief for the family. I think it is a testiment about people who love the gift of the people in their lives regardless of what they have to offer or any stupid types of "quality of life" issues.

God bless the Torres family.

I would agree. The passing of their little one especially touched me as we had a preemie (who is now 8 years old). I remember how scary it was not knowing what to expect when we went into the NICU...IV in his little head, days we couldn't hold him, feeding tubes in the nose, etc. We were so fortunate to see our little guy come home with us, but there were others who couldn't, and it broke my heart. Mom Susan and baby Susan must have been so special to be called to heaven so soon.
