Miracle: Baby Survives Being Buried Alive
A newborn girl in China miraculously survived being buried alive after her parents thought she was stillborn. Lu Xiaoyun was having severe stomach pains at home when she called her husband, Mr. Ye, to tell him something was wrong. He rushed home to find his wife in pool of blood waiting for assistance.
Tragically, according to reports, once the ambulance arrived Mr. Ye mistakenly thought his daughter was dead and told emergency workers there was no point in taking their baby in to be examined. However, the couple did go to the hospital so that Ms. Lu could be checked out.
Upon arrival, doctors questioned the couple and encouraged them to have their baby properly examined to make sure she was dead. But while they were at the hospital, Ms. Lu’s mother buried the baby under a tree in their yard.
The couple was shocked but rushed into the yard to dig up their baby. Amazingly, they discovered she was still breathing and immediately left their farm and went to the hospital. At the hospital doctors established that Ms. Lu had given birth at six-months (24-weeks) pregnant, which is considered very premature. Ms. Ly and Mr. Ye also have a seven-year-old daughter.
It is truly remarkable that the couple’s baby survived because some babies at this age don’t survive even under the best of circumstances. In fact, even though 80% of babies born at 26-weeks survive the first year; chances of survival are significantly lower for younger babies. (Read more about the baby being buried alive HERE)
