142: India's miracle baby doing well

You may have heard this amazing story from Reuters / Indian Express already. Not surprisingly, it has attracted a lot of attention! Earlier this week, a pregnant woman in India unexpectedly gave birth to her daughter - two months prematurely - whilst in a train toilet. The baby slipped down the toilet and onto the tracks, but amazingly survived the (less than sanitary) fall and was found lying beside the tracks about two hours later! She was cold and crying, but without serious injury. She is now in hospital, though recovering well, as recent reports from the Times of India suggest. The Indian press has dubbed her the 'miracle baby', and she has attracted many well-wishers - including the train driver and doctors at the hospital (which has said it will not charge the baby's impoverished parents for her care). No doubt she'll have many more well-wishers across the world, as word spreads of her ignoble but determined start to life.
