Miracle Baby (born 6 months Premature)

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

A Paraguayan father mourning the death of his premature baby was shocked to learn his son was still alive when he heard crying coming from the temporary box holding the infant’s supposed remains.

“I opened it to look at his remains and found that the baby was breathing,” Jose Alvarenga, 25, recounted. “I began to cry.”

The infant, born nearly three months early on Thursday and weighing just over a pound, was rushed back to the same hospital, Central del Instituto de Previsión Social, where he had been born hours before.

Staff there had reportedly spent an hour trying to revive him after birth but declared him dead after being unable to detect any vital signs.

The father says he was at the family home in Fernando de la Mora for the baby’s wake when he reportedly heard crying from the box.

The mother, Isabel Rossana Cáceres, 24, was still in hospital recovering from the birth. The infant is in stable condition in the intensive care unit.

Hospital officials said they plan to investigate the incident.

“This is a very unusual case,” the head of pediatric care at the hospital, Ernesto Weber, told the Agence France-Presse news agency.
