Premature Baby Comes Back to Life after Five Hours in Freezer
Monday, August 18, 2008
A premature 610-gram baby comes back to life after it was pronounced dead and was put into a freezer for five hours. Premature infants of this weight and age have only 10 percent survival.
The father, Ali Majdub, told Channel 2 that his wife realized the child was alive after asking to see her dead daughter one last time.Link
"When we unwrapped the baby to see her, she realized it was moving. I began screaming and ran with it toward the doctors," he said.
She was then rushed to the neonatal intensive care unit,
where doctors are fighting for her life.
"I was in shock," the mother told Channel 2 last night. "I thought I wasn't hearing it right when they said she was still alive."
Dr. Moshe Daniel, the hospital's deputy director, said that in his 35 years as a physician, he had "never heard of such a case. It was like a medical miracle."
