    Jason & Jennifer Schiraldi were told "there was no sperm in your sample" — but in fact, there was a single sperm in Jason's body.

    The result was Kenley, the Schiraldi's happy, healthy 1-year-old girl.

    The Daily Mail reports: "Ms Cardenas was given three difficult options — abort the baby, carry her to term knowing she would die, or have doctors to construct a hole in her baby’s chest shortly after birth in an attempt to make room for the heart."

    According to the AP:

    "Baby Andrei was born with almost no intestines, and has confounded medical opinion by still being alive, and even kicking, 8 months later. Now there's hope for another miracle. The Romanian infant has received offers for a complicated intestine transplant, an operation not performed on babies in Europe, from Harvard Medical Hospital in Boston."

    According to the Mirror:

    "Baby Adam was just 24 hours old when he stopped breathing and suffered violent seizures because of a brain infection. He slipped into a coma and was placed on life support.

    Parents Charlotte and Chris Cheshire from Telford, Shropshire, were told to say their goodbyes and take a final photo of their son. But Adam astounded medics when he showed signs of life after a cuddle from his mum.

    Now aged 16 months he has taken his first steps."

    Baby Adam Cheshire clung to his mother for life.
