Baby Survives After Life Support Dropped

(June 22) -- When they decided to turn off her life support system, the heartbroken British parents of 6-week-old baby Grace were told she would take a few last breaths and slip away.
But Grace, who had contracted late onset group B streptococcus meningitis from her mother during childbirth and was given a 1 percent chance of survival, kept breathing.
"We were told she would take a few last breaths. But she kept stopping breathing and starting again for the next six hours," her father, Pete Vincent, told London's Daily Mail.
"Six months in Afghanistan was easy compared to that," said Vincent, who served as a Royal Marine in Afghanistan. Baby Grace's heart rate, temperature and blood pressure then all returned to normal, and last week she went home.
"The fact she's recovered is incredible -- she's obviously a real fighter," Vincent said. "She's defied all the odds and proved everybody wrong."
The baby's mother, Emily Ashurst, said they family is "over the moon."
"We were told Grace had catastrophic brain damage and had no chance of living," Ashurst told the Mail. "But she managed it and we are really happy and looking forward to enjoying our future as a family. Every day she is making slow progress."
Ashurst said that future isn't clear yet, as the doctors don't know what kind of damage Grace might have sustained, but that the family is "hoping things will improve."
