OKC mom carries ill baby to term to save lives of others

Oklahoma City, Okla. — A social media post about an Oklahoma City mom's amazing sacrifice is touching heartstrings everywhere.

Royce and Keri Young discovered in the 2nd trimester of Keri’s pregnancy that their unborn baby daughter Eva had a rare condition that results in an incomplete brain and skull and would only live a few hours after she was born.

But they announced on Facebook that Keri would carry the baby to term, so that Eva could be an organ donor.

Keri wrote that even though Eva's life would be short, she would "do more in her time on Earth than I ever will."

Eva was born and died on the same day, Monday, April 17th.
