Baby thought dead is alive again



AsunciĆ³n - Double shock for a couple in Paraguay: First they lose their baby shortly after birth. And then the father when you look down into the coffin that breathes his declared dead son.
The 24-year-old mother brought the boy after only five months of pregnancy to the world. For an hour, physicians had tried to revive the preemies. Without success. Or so thought the doctors of the maternity ward.
To say goodbye to the baby and keep vigil to be, was the supposed corpse in an empty box of medication brought to the parents. Even in the sadness deepens preparations, the couple heard a faint whimper. When looking into the box then be sure: The baby is breathing!
They brought the child back to the hospital where his condition was stabilized in an incubator. "It was as if this box eraus been born," said the father was overwhelmed by feelings.
The doctors are faced with a puzzle. At birth the baby had no heartbeat was still breathing.
