Margaret Boemer, the mother went for an ultrasound 16 weeks into her pregnancy with her third child as she found out that things were kind of different. In an interview with Boemer shared by Texas Children's Hospital, that there was something wrong with the baby.

Lynlee Boemer, the baby has Sacrococcygeal Teratoma, a tumor that develops before birth and from the coccyx or tailbone, the most common tumor in newborns occurring in one in every 35,000 births and it is more often in girls than boys, reports Texas Children's. The doctors say that an open fetal surgery was the only option, it is a complex surgical intervention that repairs birth defects in the womb.

She was being monitored every two weeks in order to track any developments of the tumor and was told that at 23 weeks of her pregnancy the baby's heart is starting to experience a heart failure. Dr. Oluyinka Olutoye, a pediatric surgeon and a co-director of Texas Children's Fetal Center and Dr. Darrell Cass a pediatric surgeon and a co-director of Texas Children's Fetal Center led the surgery and listed every possible risk - in which her uterus could rupture, she bleeds out and she could have a blood clot.

The baby, Lynlee Boemer was just 1lb., 3oz when the doctors removed a tumor from her body that weighted just like her body. At 23 weeks she was taken from her mother's womb for 20 minutes so the doctors could perform a life-saving surgery that last's for about 5 hours. And then the surgeons placed back the baby inside its mother's womb and sewed the uterus.

 "I knew we were doing this to try and save her life, that's all I could focus on. It was a complete shock to us, it was a little bit of panic and nervousness, but I knew it was what had to be done to give her life," Margaret tells People.

After the difficult recovery and complicated surgery, Margaret Boemer was able to carry baby Lynlee for another 12 weeks and on June 6, Lynlee Boemer was born at 5lbs, 5 oz at 36 weeks and five days. Lynlee underwent another surgery when she was 8 days old to remove any remaining part of the tumor. She remained for another 24 days in NICU.

Now, Lynlee is growing and meeting her new developments, her family continues to watch her spine and won't know until she knows how to poop and see if she will have a control over her bowels.
