 OGDEN, Utah -- A premature baby, born on a cruise ship and given little-to-no chance to survive, arrived in Ogden Saturday and was reunited with his family. 
 
 "He is actually coming home, it is a very surreal feeling," said Chase Morgan. 
 
 On August 31, Chase's wife Emily gave birth to a baby boy, 15 weeks premature, named Haiden. They were in the middle of a Caribbean cruise and were 14 hours away from the nearest hospital, which was in Puerto Rico. 
 
 "Supposedly I had miscarried him, so that was a difficult thing to go through, and then all of a sudden, 45 minutes later, they said he is alive," said Emily Morgan. "It's just been a fighting chance every day, really." 
 
 Haiden hung on to life as the cruise ship made the 14-hour journey to Puerto Rico. He was then flown to Children's Hospital in Miami. 
 
 "I never have had a doubt that he wasn't going to make it, and I still don't," Emily said. 
 
 On Saturday, the most precious four-and-a-half pound package that could be delivered landed safely at the Ogden Airport. after 78 days, Haiden was finally home. 
 
 Along with Haiden's parents, and big sister Chloe, Emily's tumble and cheer team was also at the airport to provide support. 
 
 "It's so exciting, I'm so happy, it's been a long process, a long journey, and we're just so glad he's going to be back with the family," said team member Emily White. 
 
 Haiden will now be taken to McKay Dee Hospital, where he will remain until doctors determine he is strong enough to officially go home with his family. 
 
 "Just to know that we are so close now and have the opportunity to be together and Chloe will have the opportunity to have her brother," Chase said. 
 
 This family reunion, which took place outside the hangars at CB Jet Center, was made possible through AirMed, which is part of University of Utah Health Care. 
 
 They said these types of cross-country trips are extremely rare. However, they had been following Haiden's story very closely, and felt compelled to donate their time and resources to bring him home. 
 
 "He is definitely one of ours, I think all of us have adopted him, and been very concerned about him, and he'll always be part of our family; we'll be checking in on him and seeing how he is doing," said Colleen Connelly of AirMed. 
 
 As for when Haiden will be released from McKay Dee hospital and taken to his actual house with his parents, that is yet to be determined. 
 
 The family is optimistic they'll have him home by Christmas. They said one of the biggest factors in the transition from Florida to Utah is how he will adjust to the elevation. ||||| A baby who has spent the past two months in a Miami hospital after his premature birth on a cruise ship reached his final destination in Utah. 
 
 Baby Haiden arrived home Saturday in Ogden just before 8 p.m. after a flight that included medical equipment to ensure safe transport. 
 
 He was greeted by his parents, Emily and Chase Morgan, and a crowd of well-wishers. Many cheered and held up "welcome home" signs as medical staff took Haiden, who was in an incubator, off the aircraft. 
 
 The Morgans said it was surreal that their son was back with them. 
 
 "Even a week ago we weren't sure if we were all going to be together," Chase Morgan said. 
 
 The couple was on a seven-day cruise around the eastern Caribbean on Aug. 31 when Emily Morgan started experiencing contractions. The baby was not due until Dec. 19, and Morgan's doctor had approved the trip. 
 
 They initially thought it might be false labor but called onboard medical staff when they saw blood. A doctor aboard the Royal Caribbean ship told her she couldn't give birth because they were still 14 hours from the nearest port in Puerto Rico. 
 
 But holding back wasn't an option, Emily Morgan said. It's not totally clear what caused her to go into early labor, though doctors have said it might have been related to dehydration. 
 
 After the delivery, the doctors said Haiden wasn't expected to live long. They brought the mother her 1 ½-pound baby, wrapped in towels wet from the birth. 
 
 Upon arrival in Puerto Rico, the family, which includes the couple's 3-year-old daughter, was whisked away to a hospital. Haiden was transferred to a children's hospital in Miami a few days later. 
 
 The operators of the University of Utah's Flight Med program offered to transport Haiden from Miami to Ogden at no cost. Haiden will be hospitalized in Ogden for the next several weeks, Emily Morgan said. The family hopes he will be home in time for Christmas.

– Little Haiden Morgan is finally back in Utah. The baby born 15 weeks prematurely in August on a Royal Caribbean cruise and not expected to live much past his birth was reunited with his family at Ogden Airport after spending 78 days at Miami Children's Hospital, Fox 13 reports. Haiden weighed just 1.5 pounds at birth, and his mom, Emily Morgan, was initially told she had miscarried. But once it was determined Haiden was indeed alive, the ship's captain sped 14 hours to the nearest hospital in Puerto Rico; Haiden was flown from there to the Miami hospital. AirMed, an air ambulance service that's part of University of Utah Health Care, flew a now 4.5-pound Haiden home for free, with a spokeswoman telling Fox 13 that "all of us have adopted him … he'll always be part of our family." Haiden's dad, Chase, calls his son's return "surreal." Haiden will be hospitalized for a few more weeks at an Ogden hospital until it's safe for him to go home, with his transition to Utah's higher elevation being one of the factors to watch. The family hopes he'll be home for Christmas, ABC News reports. (A Georgia woman's "miracle baby" saved her life.)
