Three days ago on Friday we had a young wife, age 15, and her 17 year old husband come to the hospital early in the morning. The girl was 10 weeks pregnant and had a miscarraige. She began bleeding heavily around 4 a.m. and came to the hospital around 9 a.m.
When she first arrived her blood pressure was 50/40. Yes that is right--50/40. Her hemoglobin was 6.0 less than half of normal. She was still bleeding heavily. Our head doctor was able to use a pair of forceps and reach inside of her. He delivered the placenta and stopped her bleeding. We then had to transport her to the capitol for a blood transfusion.
She had to be transported in the back of a pick up truck. Look closely at the picture and you can see two IV bags. Her pressure was so low that we felt it necessary to start and run two bags of IF fluids. Would you continue to pray that we will be able to get an ambulance. I am trusting and believing that the Lord will supply it.
