Premature baby that makes miracle recovery named after SUPERMAN
  • 5 years ago
Kaye Latham, from Leicester, with her six-month-old son Kalel Fitz. A premature baby whose devastated parents were asked to consider switching off his ventilator made a miracle recovery - after they officially named him after SUPERMAN. Mum Kaye Latham, 35, went into labour at just 23 weeks and was terrified when doctors warned her there was a fifty per cent chance her baby son wouldn't survive. Her little fighter then took a turn for the worse and medics told Kaye and fiance Scott to consider turning off his ventilator. But the superhero fans begged for a few more days with their baby and had him christened 'Kalel' - Superman's 'real' name on the planet Krypton before he crashed to earth. Overnight their poorly baby defied doctors to drastically improve and within days he was off his ventilator. Now the little fighter is six months old and finally at home, but his astounded family still can't believe their little hero is alive and well.
