When Michael Labuschagne was 14 weeks old, his mom and dad snuggled him up in bed as usual. The next morning he didn’t wake up.

“Words cannot begin to describe the pain we felt in that moment,” says Emma Labuschagne, 27, of the March morning she realized her baby boy had suffered heart failure overnight.

“We watched our baby breathless, gasping for air while his heart stopped and paramedics worked to save his life,” the mom of three from Bristol, England, tells SWNS.

Michael was rushed to the hospital where doctors held out little hope for his recovery: Less than 6 percent of patients survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, according to the Journal of the American Heart Association. He was put into an induced coma, and his parents were told they should expect the worst.

Yet, five days later, Michael defied the odds. He pulled through, waking up and gasping for air — and smiling at his dad, Stuart, 28.

Still, the little fighter’s health struggles aren’t over yet.

A scan revealed that Michael hadn’t suffered any brain damage — but doctors did discover he had a heart tumor, requiring expensive surgery.

Michael’s palm-sized cardiac fibroma was latched onto his septum inside the left chamber of his heart. These growths account for 14 percent of cardiac tumors in children, according to Boston Children’s Hospital.

Fibromas can obstruct blood flow and are commonly associated with arrhythmia and ventricular tachycardia — when the heart beats more rapidly than normal.

However, England’s universal healthcare system won’t pay for the cardiac fibroma to be removed from little Michael’s tiny, now 10-month-old heart. Emma, a shop worker, and Stuart, a plumber, launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise the $153,000 needed to take their son to Boston for a potentially life-saving surgery.

They are striving to raise the funds within the next six months, as that’s when Michael’s heart will be an ideal size for the operation.

Meanwhile, Michael has been fitted with a pacemaker. The device restricts his movement, making him unable to support his head. “Putting that inside a baby is quite uncomfortable for them,” says Emma.

Michael is a trouper, though.

“He is amazing: You wouldn’t know looking at him that he is fighting this,” she says. “It’s hard to believe he’s going through what he is. He’s a miracle.”
