Emily Morgan consulted and received an OK from her doctor to go on vacation with her family to celebrate her toddler’s birthday. Her due date was someday in December. However, on Aug. 31, when she was in the middle of the Caribbean and 14 hours away from land, she began to feel contractions. The medical team was notified by Morgan’s husband soon after his wife began seeing blood. She ended up delivering the baby, but doctors told her the baby wasn’t expected to survive very long and that she should get some rest.

Disagreeing to the doctors, Morgan followed her motherly instinct and insisted on seeing her baby, who she named Haiden. “I had felt him kicking. I felt the process of him getting bigger,” she said. “I said, ‘I’m going to see him. I don’t care if he’s alive or if he’s dead.”‘ When she was brought to her tiny baby, he had a small oxygen mask around his face and was crying a “tiny feeble cry,” according to Morgan. As time went on, she made every move to keep her baby alive, she insisted the baby be wrapped in dry, fresh towels to keep him warm. She even helped the staff tuck microwaved saline packets around the baby’s body to create a makeshift incubator. A sanitary napkin was used to keep his head warm.
And guess what? The baby survived! The ship reached land just as black spots were starting to form on poor Haiden’s skin, which were an indication that his circulation was starting to fade. Morgan and the rest of her family were rushed to a hospital, and a few days later, Haiden was transferred to a children’s hospital in Miami, where he currently remains and continues to make progress. The family hopes to return home to Utah at the end of October. Morgan calls him a miracle baby — we true that!

It’s truly a miracle to see a 1-pound baby survive, and it has to be noted that it’s pretty harrowing and unsettling that the medical staff told Morgan her baby wasn’t going to survive and that she should “get some rest.” Thank goodness Morgan insisted on seeing her son ! Morgan, Mama You Rock!
