Baby Has 25 Heart Attacks – level 2

18-02-2019 15:00

A baby’s heart was not working correctly, and doctors told the parents that their child may die. However, the baby defied the odds when he survived 25 cardiac arrests in one day.

He had two operations, and a doctor said that it was amazing how quickly the baby got better.

Eighteen months later, the baby is still doing well and his parents are very proud of him. His mother said that he enjoys life, and his father said that the baby survived to do something special.

Difficult words: defy the odds (do something that is very unlikely/surprising/amazing), survive (live through a deadly or difficult time), cardiac arrest (when the heart stops, a heart attack).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
