Another Christmas Tale - 21st December

Rasoa's baby is not breathing and is completely pale when the surgeon pulls it out of her belly. The baby is immediately resuscitated and after anxious minutes it seems that she is temporarily stable. Weak but stable. Not so Rasoa - she is struggling with the after-effects of eclampsia. In critical condition, she is transferred to the intensive care unit. Unconscious, dehydrated, seriously ill. Her mother keeps watch at her bedside and prays - what else could help Rasoa?
