Baby born with heart outside body

Audrina was born with ectopia cordis, a congenital heart defect that caused her heart to develop outside her body, reports CBS affiliate KHOU in Houston. The rare condition only occurs in eight out of 1 million pregnancies, and 90 percent of the children are stillborn or die within three days of birth. Audrina, who was born Oct. 16, 2012 has beat the odds and was able to go home with her mother on January 23, 2013.
