Sad Story

Within the ward there is this lady who had a mid-term abortion. The baby was about 7 mths old when the abortion took place a few days back. In the ward we had 3 babies 3 mothers 3 mothers-to-be with problems, 1 unknown,1 overweight diabetes, 1 low blood pressure, 1 (with twins) ok just checked out today and her.

It was during one of the scan session where the doctor observed deformation of her baby's face and recommended that the pregnancy be stopped. So she went thru the whole process and was placed in this ward, filled with pregnant women and babies. I thought that was a bit cruel given what she had gone thru.

I saw her wiped tears away when one of the babies cried and family members talking about the baby. She was alone. Her husband in faraway Xinjiang and no family members in Shanghai.

So she had to go thru the whole process all alone. She was quite bubbly and cheerful when we talked to her. She said that she is independent and she is able to handle herself.She is strong.

This morning, she had packed her stuff and discharged. Hope she will be strong and life would be less cruel for her.

God bless.
