Not bad for five hours in the fridge!
Kafr Yasif- A couple from Kafr Yasif in the Galilee received the shock of their lives Monday when the wife’s miscarried 610-gram fetus, which had been declared dead five hours earlier, was found to be breathing.
The baby girl, born during the 23rd week of gestation, still has an uncertain future. Hospital spokesman Ziv Farber said that any premature infant of that weight and age had only a 10 percent chance for survival. But five years ago, he added, “we had a baby weighing only 580 grams, and she survived.”
The 26-year-old mother and her husband have a five-year-old son at home. When she gave birth after going into premature labor at the hospital, the doctor on the scene pronounced it dead and it was taken to the morgue.
The father, Ali Majdub, told Channel 2 that his wife realized the child was alive after asking to see her dead daughter one last time.
This is crazy shit. That thing that popped out of her was barely an embryo. Gnarly. Oh, and kudos to the doctor who pronounced the fetus dead. Hey dude, it was alive after FIVE HOURS in the cooler! Five hours! At least Ali’s wife’s sentimentality paid off. I wonder how that conversation went: Uhhh, honey? There’s something wrong with our dead baby!
