Meet Remy - the miracle baby born with Covid at 27 weeks who has beaten the odds

It's every parent's worst nightmare to have their newborn baby whisked away from them moments after birth. That's exactly what happened to Emma Vincent and Ross Kennedy, who then had to wait 12 days to finally meet their son Remy.

But today he is a smiling bundle of joy, having beaten everything that's been thrown at him during his short life. Remy was Emma and Ross' second child, but joy soon turned to anguish when Emma, 27, was taken to hospital after suffering a haemorrhage at home.

Emma, who had tested positive for Covid, was rushed into the operating theatre for an emergency C-section to save her 27-week-old baby's life, reports TeessideLive. It was successful, but little Remy was quickly taken away to be isolated, as he too had tested positive for Covid.
