On a slightly, different subject, but still indicates a bad week:
A nurse I work with (26 years old) was in her 8th month of pregnancy and went into labor Monday at work. That evening she delivered a baby girl, the next day they decided to fly the baby to a Children's hospital, as a precaution, as we are a very small rural hospital, the baby made the flight ok. When she got there she crashed, and they were unable to resusitate her. She died Tuesday night. The whole hospital is in shock. They diagnosed her with strep infection.
This was the 2nd pregnancy for my friend, she miscarried her 1st one around 12 weeks, about 2 years ago. And has said if anything happened during this pregnancy she wasn't doing it again, I simply can't imagine what she is going through.
It is really rocking my faith, I am trying not to let it, but where is the justice? There are thousands of 12-13 year olds out there pregnant, and here is a young married couple who did everything right and she had a good pregnancy, she was so careful, and she has lost 2 babies.
Sorry to get on this soapbox, but where I am from/live we don't see babies die like this, and its harder b/c it is one of our own.
