The fact she was adamant about seeing the body, if not for that.....I hope the baby pulls through now.

That is unbelievable and a true testament to the determination a tiny baby can have to survive. And those doctors should be ashamed of themselves!

That really is miraculous! I wonder if being so cold helped keep her alive. Poor little baby - what a start to life.

Wow. How incredible. I can't imagine how the family must feel. I'm no doctor, but surely, they would check for sure before moving anyone to a morgue? Perhaps being so cold helped her to survive the time she was there? The same way they use ice to slow down the BMR (?) of people having major surgery sometimes?

What an amazing story. I can't help but wonder what on earth was going on in the delivery room amongst the doctors? And of course we will never know.

when i grow up i wanna be like me
I have heard of a couple of these stories now, the cold helps them survive. Such a lucky lucky little girl, and what a fighter. So disgusting on the hospitals part, am glad they are suing
