Lily Cracknell’s life was saved when doctors put her in a cooling bag after she was born.
She was battling to breathe for 30 minutes after her mother Rebecca Hasler gave birth — before doctors decided she needed to cool down.
Lily was placed in the cool bag for three days as her core body temperature was lowered from 98 degrees Fahrenheit (37°C) to 95.9 degrees F (35.5°C).
The chilling treatment was needed to stop her brain swelling, which could have killed her.
Lily, who weighed 5 pounds, 13 ounces, was slowly warmed up and started to recover.
“Doctors said it was a miracle she pulled through,†said Hasler, 23. “She looked so small and helpless lying there in her cool bag. But we knew it was her only chance of survival.â€
Hasler, who lives in Harlow, Essex, was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia when she was 36 weeks pregnant. Labor was induced immediately at Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow.
