Utah mom of 6 given 24 hours to live defies odds, returns home

***SNIP***

At 26 weeks pregnant, Taylor was determined to prolong the delivery for as long as possible, but her liver started failing.

Luke was born weighing 1 pound 15 ounces. Doctors whisked him away to the neonatal intensive care unit at Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City before his mother, who was taken directly to the intensive care unit, father or any of his five siblings were able to spend time with him.

Shortly after the delivery, Taylor’s children and her husband, Nate, were brought in to say their final goodbyes to her. Doctors said she had only 24 to 36 hours to live.

As hours turned into days, Taylor defied the odds and her body began responding to treatment. Doctors started a treatment designed to inhibit cell mutation in her liver, which then allowed them to target the melanoma in the organ. During her initial prognosis, doctors doubted that treatment would reach this stage.

Oh please, stop your virginal protestations.

My WHAT? I'm not even looking that crap up, you can be more clear than that.

This thread has nothing to do with Mormonism

Well, it happened in Utah. You reckon they're Buddhists?

You’re here because I handed you your azz the other night on the “Satire” thread.

Did you really? It must not have made that much of an impression.
Perhaps I should pay more attention to lesser posters.

Get over, grow up and move along.

I'll get right on that.

I handed you your azz the other night on the “Satire” thread.

I've reviewed both your posts and my own.

I see no evidence of this having happened.

Please provide an example of what you deem as "azz handing".

Personally I think you are making shit up.

Thanks for your words... sadly SOME PEOPLE posting here tonight to this thread really don’t “get it”, and just want to have their nightly “penis measuring contest” out “in the street” of the threads on FR.
