A miracle has just happened in Texas, USA, when a baby was born twice at Texas Children’s Hospital
Doctors at the hospital discovered a tumour in Lynlee Boemer tailbone during a routine ultrasound just 16 weeks into her mum Margaret’s pregnancy. In order to save her life, the doctors resolved to remove the baby from her mother’s womb, perform surgical operation and then return it back to the womb.
The mother, Margaret, was taken to theatre where surgery was performed and the tumour was removed from the baby. At this time the baby was weighing 538g-it was impossible for her to survive outside the mother’s womb, so they had to return her back to the womb.
She was put back inside her mum’s uterus where she remained for another 12 weeks — almost making it to full term — before Lynlee once again came into the world.
The miracle baby weighed 2.4kg when she was born again and following a brief check up she was taken to the nursery to be with the other babies.
While expressing her joy during delivery, Margaret said:
“I thought my baby won’t survive after I underwent the operation. I am excited to have given birth twice. I also thank the doctors for the wonderful work they did”.
