Yulianna Cleto and her husband Michael Flores count their blessings whenever they hold their newborn baby, Ramona.

I really do sit here every day and thank God that shes here because I prayed for her," Cleto said.

Flores calls her their miracle.

"Its hard not to cry when I think about it," he says with tears in his eyes.

For Flores and Cleto, Ramona has defied the odds, thanks to the folks at Banner's Fetal Care Center at the Diamond Children's Medical Center.

Pediatric and fetal surgeon, Dr. Kenneth Liechty performed surgery on Ramona while she was still in her mothers womb.

That was the case for Ramona.

Everything was picture-perfect for Yulianna and Michael.
