Woman who chose baby instead of chemotherapy has died
那个选择宝宝而放弃化疗的女人走了
A Michigan woman who sacrificed the chance to prolong her life in order to give birth to her sixth child died early Saturday, her husband said.
一位密西根州的女人，为了能够生下肚子里的宝贝而放弃延长自己生命的机会的女人，周六去世了，她的丈夫这样说。
Nick DeKlyen told The Associated Press that his wife, Carrie DeKlyen, died surrounded by family at University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor.
Nick DeKlyen告诉AP说，他的太太， Carrie DeKlyen，在位于Ann Arbor的密西根大学医院里，在家人的陪伴下，走完了人生最后的路。
He said among his last words to her were, “I’ll see you in Heaven.”
跟妻子临终告别的话里，他对她说：“我们天堂见。”
“We stayed by her until she took her last breath,” Nick DeKlyen said. “It’s in God’s hands now.”
“我们在她身边看着她咽下最后一口气，”Nick DeKlyen说，“她现在已经在上帝那里了。”
Doctors removed Carrie DeKlyen’s feeding and breathing tubes on Thursday, a day after she gave birth to her daughter Life Lynn DeKlyen. The mother chose to forgo chemotherapy to treat her brain cancer, since it would have meant ending her pregnancy.
在周四，医生们拔掉了Carrie DeKlyen的饲养和氧气管，一天之前，她刚刚产下了女儿Life Lynn DeKlyen。这位母亲选择放弃治疗她脑癌的化疗，因为如果不这样的话，这就意味着她要终止妊娠。
Life Lynn was born prematurely, at 24 weeks and five days into the pregnancy and weighing 1 pound, four ounces (567 grams). Nick DeKlyen said his daughter is doing better than expected in neonatal intensive care, gaining weight and “almost breathing on her own.”
Life Lynn是早产出生的，只有24周零5天孕期，出生时只有1磅4盎司（相当于567克）。Nick DeKlyen说他的女儿在早产加护病房里，比预料的要好，体重在增加，而且几乎已经可以自己呼吸了。
“She’s going to be fine,” he said. “She’s going to be here for 4 or 5 months, but we expect her to be a healthy baby. ... The doctor just said the timing (of the birth) couldn’t have been more perfect.”
“她会很不错，”他说。“她会在这里呆上4或5个月，但是我们期待她可以是个健康的宝宝。。。大夫刚才说（她出生的）时机实在是太好了。”
The couple, who are from the western Michigan city of Wyoming, have five other kids who range in age from 2 to 18 years old. Nick DeKlyen said the family is strong in its Christian faith.
这对夫妇来自怀俄明州的西密执安城，他们还有五个孩子，年龄在2岁到18岁之间。Nick DeKlyen说他们家都笃信基督教。
“My wife loves the Lord and she loves her children more than anything,” he said Friday.
“我的太太热爱上帝，她爱孩子胜过了一切，”他周五的时候说。
Since Carrie DeKlyen’s cancer diagnosis in April, the family has been sharing updates about her and her pregnancy on the Facebook page Cure 4 Carrie . Posted on the page Saturday was a reference to a Bible verse, John 15:13, which reads: “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
