Miracle newborn revives after declaration of death

Five hours in hospital fridge
Just
after an American team of transplant surgeons started a debate over
heart transplants from terminally-ill, but not brain-dead, newborns,
a “miracle” in an Israeli hospital ought to make people think
twice about endorsing the controversial procedure. A 600-gram
stillborn baby spent at least five hours in a hospital fridge after
doctors had pronounced her dead. But when her parents came to arrange
for her burial, she moved and grasped her grandmother’s finger. "We
unwrapped her and felt she was moving. We didn’t believe it at first.
Then she began holding my mother’s hand, and then we saw her open her
mouth," said 26-year-old Faiza Magdoub, the baby’s mother. The
child was taken to neonatal intensive care, where she is in critical
condition. ~ Reuters,

  1. Where there is life, there is hope. Why do we give up so soon? God loves even the smallest of these little ones.
