'Miracle baby' set to say bye to city

The baby in Rajasthan Hospital (TOI Photo) AHMEDABAD: The miracle baby, who was delivered prematurely from her mother's womb in a train's toilet bowl, and survived the fall on the railway track, is growing stronger by the day and is ready to go back home, probably by Holi. The couple, Bhoori and Prabhuram who belong to Swaroopgunj in Rajasthan, have still not named her. The little champion - who weighed 1.4 kg at birth in the seventh month - may still look fragile, but doctors say her looks defy her strength to fight back. The little girl is being breastfed for the past one week now. On Monday, she could be seen flexing her frail arms and legs actively as she yawned leisurely! "Her reflexes are very good," attending paediatrician at Rajasthan Hospital Dr Raj Kumar told TOI. In fact, doctors are now considering her discharge from the hospital. "Whether it will be before or after Holi, we will take a decision in the next couple of days," said paediatrician Dr Gautam Jain. "We have a custom of celebrating Holi, where a newborn is married to the Holi fire and would like to celebrate Holi with our daughter back home, but her health comes first," Prabhuram told TOI. Even as the parents wished to name the girl 'Karishma' or 'Jodhaa' for her miraculous survival and valour, her grandparents wish her name begins with the letters 'R' or 'T' as per her birth-sign!
