SALT LAKE CITY — A baby born prematurely on a cruise ship in the Caribbean has been reunited with a medical flight crew that brought him back to Utah.
Emily Morgan of Ogden, her healthy 7-month-old son Haiden and the rest of his family met Friday with the University of Utah AirMed that flew the baby home at no cost to the family.
His parents were on a seven-day cruise around the eastern Caribbean in August when Emily Morgan started experiencing contractions. Her baby was not due until December.
The 1-1/2 pound newborn was hospitalized in Puerto Rico and then transferred to a Miami hospital a few days later.
Haiden spent two months in Miami before the AirMed crew brought him back to the state.
He was released from an Ogden hospital in December.
