The father woke his wife immediately. They went to the hospital without wasting a second.

The baby was taken into emergency surgery. The doctors explained to the parents that if they had waited any longer, the damage could have been irreversible.

Today the baby is safe. But the parents share their story with a message for everyone:
Check everything. Even the smallest details. Because sometimes, what seems harmless can change everything.
