Wonderful. Never stop fighting and believing in life. The best is that there were no damage to brain.

Miracles do happen - as the series of stories on the mom.me site show (not only this case). Conventional medicine could only work its best because of some inexplicable "miracle" factor in the babies' instinct to survive - Thanks for sharing!

Is good news. Just came across another story yesterday of a family with a child in similar circumstances, only the baby did not make it. The video of it's last moments while the family was singing softly to it, the Mother holding it in her arms. Some make it others do not, glad for this family it had a better outcome.
