Breast Milk Saves Children’s Lives
Many of you may have seen the recent article about Kati Kim who was lost in the Oregon snow for 9 days with her 7 month old and 4 year old. What you may not have read was that Mrs. Kim kept her children alive by breastfeeding them after food ran out. She was already nursing her 7 month old daughter, but she also nursed her 4 year old daughter prior to being rescued. Doctors have said that it is very likely that the breast milk made the difference between life and death for the two girls.
Unfortunately, Mr. Kim did not survive. Please be praying for the mother of these young girls at this time. Additional information on help for the family is available here.
Wow, how horrible and wonderful. That poor woman, to lose her husband, but how amazing for her to save her children.
