A New Hampshire woman and her newborn baby are alive thanks to doctors' efforts that included putting her in a coma.

Three weeks later, she woke up to another shock when she was introduced to her daughter Victoria.

Her baby needs more time in the hospital but is on a path to recovery.

"We're going to fight," said Casalduc. "She's a fighter just like me."
