Midlothian parents pay heartfelt tribute to 'miracle' daughter who defied all odds

A Midlothian mum and dad have paid tribute to their 'miracle' daughter who defied the odds after being born clinically dead to live 15 happy years and make plenty of memories.

Fiona and Keith Young, from Penicuik, were devastated when their baby daughter Ava was born and doctors informed them she was clinically dead. They were told they may only have an hour with their baby as family members to rushed to the hospital.

According to Fiona, the midwife hit the emergency button when Ava was born and scooped her up. After expecting to leave the hospital without their daughter, Fiona and Keith enjoyed more than a decade with Ava before she sadly passed away in August 2022.
