Miracletina Julie Nanai, known as Baby Miracle, was not expected to survive even a few hours after she was born in Samoa on September 1, 2007.
She had a number of birth defects that saw part of her brain missing, her eyes sealed shut, a bilateral cleft palate and spina bifida.
Her story was widely publicised after her parents, Mikaele and Sefulu Nanai, went public when doctors in the island nation offered little hope of her survival.
