After a series of events this pregnant mother gets a beautiful surprise!

Santino

Amelia was still in a coma but still gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby body. The baby came out weighing just 1.89 kilograms. Since Santino was born prematurely at just 34 weeks old, the doctors stated that this was a very healthy weight for a baby like him.

A Christmas Baby

“He was born on Christmas Eve, it was a miracle,” said Cesar Bannan who is Amelia’s brother. Her family chose the name for the little boy because Santino means “little saint.” After successfully giving birth, Amelia fell back into a coma losing all her senses and was admitted to the Neuma de Posadas clinic.

Santino Grows Up

The doctors actually made sure Santino was in the hospital for a month to make sure that he had no complications at all. Before going home with his mother Amelia’s sister, Norma Bannan, the hospital wanted to be sure that he aged a little and that he gained a little weight first.

Santino’s Future

“He is growing well, there are no complications. He is a little fighter,” Cesar revealed to interviewers. Since the doctors were quite sure that Amelia would not wake up so it was up to her brother and sister to make plans for Santino’s future. But they still never lost hope.

Norma Bannan

Norma Bannan worked as an educational psychologist in San Pedro. She then made a decision to move to Posadas which is 10-hours away from her home. She did this just to take care of Santino. She did not hesitate to leave everything she had to look after her sister’s baby.

A Young Mom

Norma has a two-year-old daughter and now stays four blocks away from the clinic where Amelia stays in. Her brother Cesar Bannan travels back and forth to help Norma with whatever is needed and occasionally take care of the baby as well.
