Look at the burns on this poor woman and tell me she didn't try to save that baby!
PEORIA
Valerie Edwards didn't feel her skin burning the morning her house was engulfed in flames.
She was determined to save her foster child, who was trapped in her crib upstairs.
"It was a blaze," said Edwards, who repeatedly entered her burning house the morning of Dec. 26 in an attempt to save 11-month-old Anariah West. "I ran out of the house, got some air, then went back in. All I was seeing in my head was that baby."
Firefighters eventually rescued the infant, but she died later that day of smoke inhalation.
Edwards, 50, suffered third-degree burns and was in a coma for about five weeks. Her house, 821 W. Spring Hollow, was destroyed in the fire, and she is facing nearly $1 million in medical bills, having been through several surgeries and only needing more. Full of pain, both physically and emotionally, Edwards didn't think it could get any worse.
