Swine-flu mum and baby out of danger

A MUM who underwent an emergency Caesarean to save the lives of herself and her unborn baby after contracting swine flu is returning to health.

Audrey Murray, from Newbridge, Kildare, was rushed into hospital for an operation after the rapid onset of the deadly virus.

Baby Robert, who was delivered at just 28 weeks, has been kept in the neonatal unit of the Coombe Hospital.

Audrey is now stable in St James Hospital and her sister, Annette Akerlind, said that each day she is making positive steps.
