Miracle baby's battle for life

Yahoo!7 August 13, 2012, 5:41 pm

A miracle baby boy who was given just two hours to live has beaten the odds in an extraordinary battle for life.

Baby Connor Anastasopoulos suffered a heart attack caused by a serious strain of viral meningitis at nine days old, and was given just hours to live by doctors at the Royal Children's Hospital.

But Connor defied the grim predictions and has gone from strength to strength.

Now Connor is back at home, and his parents are raising money for the Royal Children's Hospital.

Visit Connor's website to donate.
