A woman who suffered from severe bleeding and a coma after giving birth to a baby boy was presumed to have been abandoned by her husband, according to Chinese media ThePaper.cn.

The woman, named Duan Yingying, suffered from paralysis after waking from the coma. Her husband, whose name was not given, claimed he would go to raise money for hospital fees. He took $45,000 that came from selling their house and left his family on Feb. 27. He has not been heard from since.
