I used to work in the Neonatal ICU with preemies. She didn't have the best chances weighing under two pounds. To compund that with the complication of a preforated intestine, made those chances even slimmer.

My heart goes out to her father. Not only did he lose his daughter, but he lost his wife. Sad story all together.
