Both she and the baby died. Just posting this here so I can find out her age etc. I think she only died today.

Sarah and baby Cecilia passed away last night. Please continue to pray for her family.

One of my best friends is in the hospital on life support. She was attacked by what we believe were yellow jackets and had an allergic reaction. Further tests revealed a ruptured aneurysm on her brain. She is 21 weeks pregnant with her fifth child, a baby girl named Cecilia. Please join me in praying for Sarah, her husband Eric, and their children, Liam, Annalee, Jude, Faustina, and tiny Cecilia. Friends and family are saying goodbyes while praying and hoping for a miracle.

That's terrible
The picture they used on the fundraising site shows that the youngest has downs syndrome. The husband now has to raise four kids on his own and one has special needs. Tragic

Ugh, that's just . Rest in peace, Sarah and Little Celia. My heart goes out to that family.

A pregnant Virginia mother is dead and her husband left to care for their four children after bee stings brought about her untimely end.
Sarah Harkins, 32, lost consciousness Monday after a wasp nest was disturbed in her yard. Paramedics were soon able to revive her, but the tragedy continued when an aneurysm lingering in her brain dislodged during the trauma.
Harkins' husbamd Eric must now raise their four children, one of whom was born with Down Syndrome, on his own.
'I?m thankful to the medic for giving me and the kids that chance, bringing her back enough so we could say goodbye to her,' Eric told the Free Lance-Star.
The two met while on a mission trip when both attended a Catholic university in Ohio and married in 2005.
Their fifth child, a girl they'd named Cecilia Rachel, would have been born this winter. Sarah was 21 weeks pregnant.
'Her passing was so tough, because I love her so much. She?s a gift that was given from God, he knows that I needed her, and she was this amazing gift,' the grief stricken husband and father said.

Their youngest child Faustina, 1, was born with Down Syndrome. Relatives say they worry that the parenting will be too much for Eric.
'With Sarah gone, Eric is not equipped to do this by himself,' Sarah's brother Tom Schulzetenberg told NBC Washington. 'It's something that you never really prepare for. We're doing our best to hold each other up.'
