Jackson Health Doctors Perform Life-Saving Surgery on Mother, Baby

A baby is heading home from the hospital Friday, thanks to South Florida doctors who performed a rare life-saving procedure.

Nicole Hannah-Edgecomb was 24 weeks into her pregnancy when doctors spotted a large tumor covering the heart of her unborn baby named Symphony.

Doctors at Jackson Memorial Hospital were able to remove the plum-sized tumor before completing a C-section to deliver the baby.

Amazingly, Symphony was still attached to her mother's placenta during the procedure.

When she was able to leave the hospital, Symphony went home to meet her 18-month-old big brother Jeremiah for the first time.
