Fighting for Life: The Love Laura Left Behind

KCTV5 -- Baby born through surrogacy four months after mother's death

DES MOINES, IA (KCCI/CNN) – Nate and Laura Yoho looked like a model couple – in more ways than one. But looks can be deceiving.

“I found out I had a brain tumor, so it’s very, very bad, very serious, I guess you could say,” said Laura Yoho, 30, in an interview a year and a half ago. “There’s only about 2 to 5 percent that you’re going to be OK.”

One year into a marriage, that was heavy, even for weightlifters.

“You’re in uncharted territory. You don’t know how to feel,” Nate Yoho said.

Even her friends since elementary couldn’t believe this was happening. How could it to the girl who preached healthy living through college?

“She would get up and make breakfast while I was still in bed,” Kara Stetson, Laura’s best friend, said.

Laura Yoho kept fighting, while Nate Yoho kept hoping.

“I don’t think I’ve been more nervous for anything in my life,” Nate Yoho said.

But within nine months, Laura Yoho’s fight was over.

A Chance for Jahi McMath

Family wants to keep life support for girl brain dead after tonsil surgery

CNN Video

Carrie’s Take is:

Do we really know this young girl is brain dead?

Who says so? 

The ones that were caring for her when the medical crisis occurred?

Doesn’t one report say there is swelling of the brain? 

Why not wait and  see what happens after the swelling goes down? 

What’s the rush? 

This is a child.. a beautiful child… after all!!!

If there is an error to be made…

Error on the side of life!

Give this child & her family a chance to be right!

After all…

What if they are?
