Miracle baby found alive in freezing morgue!

A baby's parents are calling it a miracle that their newborn daughter, declared stillborn and deceased by doctors, is alive after spending 12 hours in a freezing hospital morgue. Hospital officials are investigating while the attending doctors and nurses have been placed on leave.

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA (Catholic Online) - Medical staff told Analia Bouter that her baby was stillborn and at 26 weeks, too premature to survive. Bouter and her husband were distraught as they went home with a death certificate instead of their baby.

Working their way through the grieving process, the couple returned to the hospital 12 hours later and asked to take pictures of their daughter. Hospital staff escorted them to the freezing morgue and opened the drawer where their baby lay, only to find the child alive and crying. 

Analia told reporters that she fell to her knees when she saw her baby stretching. 

Although the temperatures were freezing and ice had already formed on the her body, Luz Milagros (a name meaning "light miracles") was very much alive. 

Argentine health officials wasted no time suspending the attendant medical staff and ordering an investigation. However, it seems incredible to believe that the staff, which included obstetricians, a gynecologist, and a neonatologist, as well as nurses, would all reach the same conclusion. 

There must be some other explanation for what has happened.

A miracle, perhaps?

Doctors said that despite the freezing temperatures, the conditions in the morgue may have actually contributed to baby Luz's survival by slowing her vitals during the 12 hour period she lay in the morgue. 

At this time, Luz remains in the hospital, but is said to be growing stronger and is expected to survive.
