Baby Brought Back From The Dead After His Heart STOPS

This baby was brought back to life after his heart stopped. Lincoln Seay was born with his heart on the wrong wide of his body causing serious health complications. 

Four days after he went into cardiac arrest, a heart transplant became available for him. For the moment Doctors were able to stabilize Lincoln's vitals.

But as they were prepping him for heart transplant surgery his heart stopped and he died.

Doctors quickly opened his chest and started manually pressing his heart till they connected him to the heart bypass machine.

Dr. Michael McMullen told ABC News that that process usually takes 2 hours but they did it in 12 minutes.

Baby Born With HER Heart on the Outside: Surviving Against All Odds


A Texas baby born with its heart on the outside of its body survived a risky surgery and now looks like she will thrive against nearly impossible odds.

The little girl's mom was told 16 weeks into her pregnancy that the fetus was developing a rare heart malformation that almost always proves fatal.
"I was devastated,” Ashley Cardenas said earlier on Today. “I didn’t really understand what they meant by her heart was on the outside of her body.”
Rather than terminate her pregnancy, Cardenas tried to beat the odds.
Her daughter, Audrina, was born with ectopia cordis, a condition in which all or part of the heart is outside of the chest - which required major surgery.
