The Record Newspapers - Hometown News For Orange County, Texas

Benefit for Olivia Marie Coats will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 26 at the Orangefield Fire Department near the intersection of Hwy 105 and Hwy 408 in Orangefield. There will be live music, barbecue, decals, t-shirts and a silent auction.

Olivia’s skull was crushed and she suffered a fractured spine when her mother’s doctor decided to use forceps prior to performing an emergency C-section in a Port Arthur hospital.

Olivia’s parents are trying to raise money to encourage the banning of forceps being used to aide in difficult deliveries across the nation, as serious injuries, and even death, can occur as a result. For more info go to https://facebook.com/oliviamariecoats.
