28 January 2012:  Miracle baby Oliver Morgan was brought back from the dead - after being born with no blood in his body. When he was delivered he looked pale and stillborn - and doctors were unable to find a heartbeat for an astonishing 25 minutes. But battling Oliver survived against all odds after being given oxygen, gentle heart massage and a lifesaving blood transfusion.  

 

Medics fought back tears when his heart monitor let out the first tell-tale beep, reports The Sun.

Oliver almost bled to death after a rare condition called Vasa Previa formed an extra vein in his mum’s womb. It burst - and Katy woke up covered in blood 37½ weeks into her pregnancy. She was rushed to Maidstone General Hospital and was shocked to discover it had all come from her baby.

 

Oliver was born by emergency Caesarian weighing 6lb 1oz at 5.12 am. After attempts to resuscitate him he was given a blood transfusion through the still-attached umbilical cord. And at 5.37am the first heartbeat was detected and grew stronger as he was given more blood. And after just 11 days Oliver was well enough to be taken home to start family life with his mum Katy, salesman dad Jeff, 42, and seven-year-old brother Jack.

 

Oliver is now a happy, healthy 15-month-old toddler. A publishing executive from Maidstone, Kent, Katy said, “The doctors literally brought him back to life and I will never be able to thank them enough for this wonderful gift.”
