Mum Dies After Refusing Chemo To Save Baby
Mum Dies After Refusing Chemo To Save Baby
A woman who refused chemotherapy to save the life of her unborn baby has died of head and neck cancer.
The moment Stacie met her baby daughter, before passing away three days later
Stacie Crimm, 41, was told by doctors she would never be able to conceive - so discovering she was pregnant in March seemed a miracle.
But over the months that followed she began suffering from crippling headaches, tremors and double vision.
After being diagnosed with cancer she refused potentially lifesaving chemotherapy to save her baby's life.
In August she collapsed at her home in Ryan, Oklahoma, and was told the tumour had begun to grow around her brain stem.
Shortly afterwards the baby's heart beat began to drop and Stacie's own heart stopped 90 minutes later.
It was then doctors decided to resuscitate Stacie and deliver Dottie Mae by caesarean section, four months early and weighing just 2lb 1oz.
Dottie Mae weighed just 2lb 1oz when she was born
Her brother Ray Phillips, now caring for Dottie, told NewsOK: "We would show her pictures and she would cry and she would want to hold her baby.
"It was quite the ordeal. I felt helpless. I wanted to help her, I wanted to do what I could for her - we all did - but they had told us it was impossible for her to see the child."
However, nurses eventually managed to transfer Dottie to a capsule-like ICU so she and her mother could finally meet face to face.
She was laid on her mother's chest and the pair stared into each other's eyes.
Dottie now weighs 5lb and has been allowed home
Ray told NewsOK: "Nobody said anything, it got real quiet.
"It was the perfect moment, that's what I called it."
Stacie died three days later on September 14.
Dottie now weighs 5lb and has been allowed to leave hospital to live with Mr Phillips, his wife and their four children.

Accident: Iran B722 at Tehran on Oct 18th 2011, landed without nose gear
Accident: Iran B722 at Tehran on Oct 18th 2011, landed without nose gear:
An Iran Air Boeing 727-200, registration EP-IRR performing flight IR-742 from Moscow Sheremetyevo (Russia) to Tehran Imam Khomeini (Iran) with 94 passengers and 19 crew, was on approach to Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport around 15:20L (11:50Z) when the crew did not receive a down and locked indication for the nose gear and aborted the approach.
Following unsuccessful troubleshooting the crew decided to divert to Tehran's Mehrabad Airport where a low approach confirmed the nose gear was not extended.
The crew subsequently performed a landing without the nose gear on runway 29L at about 16:00L (12:30Z) and came to a stand still on both main gear and the nose of the aircraft. The aircraft was evacuated, no injuries occurred.
The runway was closed for about 5.5 hours before the aircraft was moved off the runway."
