Baby survives!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/tyne/8110110.stm

A baby was diagnosed with incurable meningitis but she made a miraculous recovery after the life saving machine was turned off.

The baby was six weeks old when the mother took her to the hospital for the first time. There turned out he had a very rare brain disease. The mother spent four day in the intensive care with her baby until the family opted to switch off the life support equipment and finally the mother agreed with that decision. But when the machine was turned of a miracle happend; the baby whose nickname is Amazing Grace, started breathing on her own.
The baby was discharged after a couple of days but will remain blind for her life.

I think this is wonderful news. The parents have gone through an awful time and they are now given an almost healthy girl. The fact that she will remain blind is something that is quite unfair but I think everyone has to keep in mind that this girl is alive and that she might be able to live a close to normal life when she grows up.

  1. I think this girl is the luckiest one in the world. The parents will have a hard time when she grows up. They will some day have to tell her that they were about to kill her, when she started breathing again.
