The following message was sent to me today. I've deleted names so as to keep them anonymous. Surgery is scheduled for Monday.
My daughter just called me about a Filipino Catholic woman she cared for today at Saint Vincent's Hospital. The woman's name is .... Her husband converted to Catholicism in the last year. .... had a baby less than a year ago by C-section and became pregnant again right away. The pregnancy was not healthy. The placenta grew abnormally outside of the womb through the C-section incision. It is growing into her other vital organs, her bladder, bowel and other places so that all the organ's blood vessels are tangled up with the placenta. Doctors told her she had to have an abortion or she would die. She refused. They did an MRI at 22 weeks and cared for her as best they could. Now she is bleeding. They will do another MRI on Friday and operate to do some surgery Monday to try and save her life and deliver the baby which is mature enough to live if they can get the baby out without harm.
My daughter has been delivering babies for about 14 years and has never seen anything remotely like this, or any surgery ever so complicated. None of the physicians have either. The best medical team in Portland will be there Monday. There will be a specialist for every organ involved in the operating room to try to help untangle the blood vessels. My daugher said ....... could bleed out in six minutes if they make a mistake. .
She has been in the hospital for three months. Today the two women shared their faith and prayed. She was crying and said she just wants to live to care for her babies.
Her husband is terrified.
Please keep this courageous faithful woman and her family in your prayers. She said she would like to be on prayer lists, so please also forward this message.

Praying here. I passed it along as well. How ironic that this should be happen just when Filipinos on the other side of the globe are battling anti-life forces. The anti-life folks would look at this and use it as one more reason to promote contraception.
Praying for her medical team and her family as well. Thanks for letting us know.
