Much to the family's amazement and disbelief, the baby woke up and started crying hours later at the funeral wake!

Thank goodness the family was speedy with burial traditions- but not too speedy.

The head of pediatric care at the hospital where the baby was born, Dr. Ernesto Weber, stated that the baby only weighed 500 grams at birth.(This is about 17 or 18 ounces!)

"Initially, the baby didn't move, he practically didn't have any respiratory reflexes, nor did we hear a heartbeat and, as a result, we declared a premature fetus of 24 weeks dead," Weber told Reuters Television.

The family was even given a death certificate and a cardboard box as a makeshift coffin for the baby.

The baby is now declared alive and is in stable condition in an incubator.

In a time where suing is just as common as saying "hello", I would advise the family to go ahead and sue the hospital. They made a very grave mistake. Hospitals really shouldn't be able to afford to be declaring people dead when they actually aren't. But, seeing as the baby did not have a heartbeat, I don't think the doctor can be at fault.

So the family should probably just count their blessings because this is a remarkable story.
