A premature baby who was pronounced dead "came back to life" Sunday after five hours in Nahariya Hospital.
The baby girl, who was in a cooler at the hospital, suddenly showed signs of life and was being treated in the premature baby unit.
Doctors estimated that the cooler brought the fetus "back to life."
The mother, 26, from a Western Galilee village, was in the fifth month of her pregnancy when she underwent a series of tests, during which it was discovered that she was suffering from internal bleeding and that the embryo had ceased to show signs of life.
The woman underwent an abortion and the baby, weighing 610 grams (1.34lbs), was extracted from her womb without a pulse, hospital officials said.
A senior doctor pronounced the baby dead and she was transferred to the cooler.
Five hours later, the woman's husband came to the hospital to take what he thought was his dead baby girl for burial.
When the baby was taken out of the cooler, she began to breathe. The premature baby was then taken to the intensive care ward, where doctors were attempting to save her life.
Life Happens.
Proof that girls don’t like cold.
Prayers for the baby and mother.

“where doctors were attempting to save her life”...
Hope these aren’t the same doctors that earlier pronounced her dead! Always get a second opinion!
Wow, I hope the little girl will make it.
Anyone know what the record is for a pre-mature baby that survived?
This would go a long way towards an argument in the PBA issue.
I do not know the record for survival of a premature birth, but what I could find is that at 5 months, it is less than a 20% survival rate. But God is in control.
A friend had a heart attack...They cooled him for three days and brought him back. He had a few more pretty good months with his family and friends. It was amazing.
God is the only entity that has a legitimate say over whether babies live.
I guess when humans are just reduced to being spare parts, that sort of thing will happen.
Sickening beyond words.
would obama have supported a kill it law, if born alive after abortion try?
Praise God!
Um, Folks... Our granddaughter was just here the last couple of days and she was taken by c-section 13 weeks early... That’s just over 3 months early. Our daughter had pre-eclampsia (sp?) -DEADLY high blood pressure- and they found that the baby had stopped growing. Even if they could keep Steph alive for a few more weeks, it wouldn’t do Autumn any good so they took her.
She CRIED upon birth. They wisked her straight to the neo-natal unit (best in the country as far as I’m concerned - Kosair Children’s Hospital in Louisville, KY -luckily right across the Ohio river from home and across a walkway from the hospital they were treating Steph at). Her other grandma and I followed them to see where they went and later that night I got to go back and be the first family member to touch her.
She was born in January instead of April and weighed 1 pound 10 oz. She now tops 11 pounds.
No surgeries, no infections, no complications of any kind. She came home BEFORE her due date, at four pounds, wore a home monitor for awhile, but is developing wonderfully and on track to her ‘adjusted age’. She’s happy,laughing and giggling, alert and so sweet! She is perfect in every way...
The fact that Grandpa is a preacher and we had multiple churches praying for her MIGHT have had something to do with it... Great hospital, the hand of God... She’s our miracle.
Time and time again God gives us miracles but some people just can’t bring themselves to acknowledge them. Because of course if they did, they’d have to also acknowledge they weren’t the most important thing in the universe.
