:( is the only title I can think of

I clicked on Michelle Malkin’s site looking for something else, and this is what I found instead. Baby Susan Torres, the miracle baby born to her braindead mother, has died. How totally heartbreaking. After all the family has been through, to lose the baby. I can’t even think of the right words to say.

McLEAN, Va.

An infant born last month to an unconscious, severely brain-damaged mother has died, the family said Monday.

Susan Anne Catherine Torres, born prematurely on Aug. 2, died of heart failure Sunday after emergency surgery to repair a perforated intestine, a family statement said. A spokeswoman at St. Rita’s Church in Alexandria said parishioners were told of the child’s death during the morning Mass.

The infant’s condition had deteriorated rapidly over the weekend, according to the family.

Cancer patient Susan Torres was kept alive on life support for three months so she could deliver the child. Torres, a 26-year-old researcher at the National Institutes of Health, suffered a stroke in May after the melanoma spread to her brain.
