3 month old baby girl struggles for life after deadly suicide bombing in Russia. People openly weep for the child in the street as large crowd gather around the hospital to pray for her life.
Doctors are still fighting desperately to save the live of 3-month-old child named Vika, who was severely injured in one of the deadly suicide attacks in Volgograd, Russia.
The infant Vika Tolkunova is in an “induced coma” in intensive care unit, barely clinging to her life. Doctors say her condition is critical, but stable.
“The baby girl remains in a coma. We’ve put her on a ventilator in intensive care. She has also sustained light, but serious brain damage. Her condition is very serious, but we’ve got it under control,” head of Children’s Clinical Hospital in Moscow Nikolay Vaganov told RT News, in a report dated January 3rd, 2014.
According to the RT News report:
“On Monday Vika caught a fever and was en route to the hospital with her mother and grandmother, when a powerful explosion rocked their trolleybus.
Vika’s mother and grandmother died, while the infant survived thanks to the thick blanket that she was wrapped in. It saved her from life-threatening burns. Her family and friends are torn between hope for her miraculous recovery and grief for their dead.
“I’m very grateful to everyone who took part in the rescue of my girl, to Volgograd hospital doctors, they’ve performed a miracle, returned my daughter from the dead. I’ll do anything for her, she’s the meaning of my life,” Vika’s father Vasily Ivanovich told RT News (source: Doctors fight to save life of baby http://rt.com/news/terrorist-volgograd-infant-funeral-151/).
People across Moscow are reported openly weeping at news reports about baby Vika. Many Russian are demanding revenge for the attack and their are call for an all out war against terrorism because of it. As the baby’s life hangs in the balance reports indicate the pressure is on members of the Kremlin to find those responsible and make them pay! To suggest people are a little upset is an understatement in this case!
