Expectant Jerusalem Mother Of Twins Collapses Unconscious, Twins, Mother In Very Serious Condition

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — An expectant mother in her 30’s is in very serious condition after collapsing unconscious a day before the scheduled birth of her twins. The woman, in her 38th week of pregnancy, had initially complained of acute respiratory stress.

United Hatzalah medics Akiva Angel and Ze’ev Klein reported that “We arrived on scene after we were informed that she wasn’t feeling well. During initial examinations the woman collapsed and lost consciousness. We performed resuscitation procedures and the woman was transferred during resuscitation to Shaare Tzedek hospital.”

The woman immediately underwent an emergency C-section and the twins were born initially without a pulse but were resuscitated and transferred in very serious condition to the neonatal unit.

The woman is in the ICU and a large team of doctors are treating her and the infants and fighting for their lives. The public is requested to pray for Shoshana Bas Puah and for her two infant children.

UPDATE: Shoshana Bas Puah woke up and spoke with doctors but has been sedated once more to aid her recovery. The twin girls have been given names- Bracha Bas Shoshana and Rivka Bas Shoshana – the names were given by Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch Shlita- and they are in the intensive care section of the neonatal unit.

FURTHER UPDATE: Unfortunately one of the twins passed away and the other twin and her mother are in very serious condition. The mother is suffering from brain edema. Please continue to daven for her.
