(ABC 13) – A 14-week-old baby defied the odds by waking up from a five-day coma after doctors said he wouldn’t.

He is a living miracle, and we have never felt prouder of him.”

Doctors told them that his condition is so rare that no surgeon in the UK would have the expertise to remove it. Emma says they were given the option to find a surgeon outside the country.
