Mother Delivers Baby 2 Weeks Early for Her Dying Husband

A Texas woman delivered her baby 2 weeks early so her dying husband could meet and hold the child before he passed.

Meet the Family Whose Baby Came 2 Weeks Early

Mark Aulger was 52 years old when he learned that after eight months of chemotherapy, he was cancer-free. That Christmas, he and his family of six celebrated and looked to the new year with hope, especially when they found out that Diane, Mark’s wife was pregnant with his fifth child.

Diane said, “We thought he could get on steroid treatment and oxygen and live for years,” explaining their initial reaction.

That’s when she decided nearly on the spot that she would deliver the baby early so Mark and his youngest baby girl could spend some time together.

On January 18, just 15 days after Mark went to the hospital with difficulty breathing, doctors induced labor and she had the baby 2 weeks early, in the same hospital room with her dying husband.

They named her Savannah, and Mark was able to hold his baby.

“The day she was born his oxygen levels were really high,” Diane said of her dying husband. “He held her for 45 minutes. Him and I just cried the whole time.”

Watch the touching story here:

Mark cherished the time with his daughter, reportedly wanting to show her as much love as he could…
