Baby alive after 12 hours in morgue drawer

[Eva-M]

I got chills after reading this article - can't imagine the feelings of the mother - unbelievable!!

An Argentine woman who insisted on seeing the presumably lifeless body of her premature baby found the infant alive in the drawer of a hospital morgue.

Authorities say the girl had spent 12 hours in the refrigerated room at the Perrando de Resistencia hospital in northern Argentina.
Analia Bouter tells Todo Noticias television that she thought she was hallucinating when she looked at her infant in the morgue drawer and heard a whimper and saw signs of life.
Doctors say the girl is now in good condition.
The girl was born on April 3 after just six months of pregnancy, and the hospital issued a death certificate, saying she died of unknown causes, Bouter said.
Bouter says doctors have told her that "nobody knows how she could have survived 12 hours in a refrigerated room."

And a premie to boot!! Holy cow! That is one TOUGH kid! So glad for the happy ending at least. . .

Friends of our's baby would have died if not put on temperature controlled ice when he was born without a heartbeat (he was resuscitated). This was done to help slow down the functioning of the organs and prevent extensive brain damage. The refrigerated room of the morgue is what very well could have saved this little baby's life. What a happy ending indeed.

I read this story as well and was just dumbfounded as to how that baby had the medical staff believing it was stillborn. I wonder if an investigation of the staff will bring any new details to light? Either that or it was a miracle, which is why they named their child Luz Milagros, or "Miracle Light."

That child was meant to be here, and the name is so fitting. What a fighter for sure. It really makes a person think of what really goes on in hospitals. This seems to be happening more and more every year.

OMG, everything happens for a Reason !

I just heard on the news that the 5 hospital staff in charge of the delivery were suspended bc of an investigation.

What a strong tiny human being! The baby is in stable but critical condition.
