The child, Piper Smith, was both after 35 weeks with fully functioning organs but her bladder, intestine and liver were present outside the body and the doctors gave her just a 25-percent survival chance.

Amanda and her husband, Wayne, are now looking forward to a six-hour operation during which the doctors will attempt to put the organs back into Piper’s body and stretch the muscle over her stomach. “The doctors offered me a termination, but I didn't feel I could have one - I wanted to give her a chance. And she has been a miracle. She is a little fighter”, Amanda said.
