The fact that he made it through such tragic circumstances and that life-saving treatment is giving him a chance to make it now are good things - miracles. How many parents would pry open a nailed coffin? Had his little cry not been noticed when it was - and maybe that was stimulated by the rush of air when the coffin lid was raised by the father - he probably couldn't have lasted much longer in that coffin without air, hydration/food & treatment, not to mention had someone started embalming without noticing SOL. He's been given a second chance at life! But the fact that the hospital apparently only observed for signs of life for a while after he was born with none, tried no resuscitative efforts and pronounced too soon for him is horrifying. No telling how many times this has happened and the baby did die with nobody noticing tiny signs of life once the observation period was over. That gives you the shivers just thinking about it.
