The miracle baby was scheduled for discharge today
This kid is a born fighter, quite literally. A baby, born six weeks prematurely to a Mira Road couple last week, had to be fitted with a pacemaker within two hours of birth after her heart rate dropped dangerously to 42 beats a minute. The normal heart rate for newborns is 120-140 beats per minute. Doctors say the condition occurs in one in 20,000 cases of preterm birth, and such children require lifetime pacemaker support.
