'Miracle' stories of survival in Aurora

CNN's Randi Kaye tells the story of survivors who lived through the gunfire in the Aurora, Colorado, movie theater.

Katie and Caleb Medley are high school sweethearts who had their first baby, Hugo, this morning. Both were caught in the attack. Katie and the baby were unharmed, but Caleb is still in a medically induced coma. To help them, go to Caleb's website http://calebmedley.com/help

Stephanie Davies helped save the life of her friend Allie Young who was shot in the neck. Stephanie didn't leave Allie to find safety, she stayed with her and applied pressure to her wound. Then, she carried her friend across two parking lots to an ambulance.

Petra Anderson was hit four times, with one bullet entering her brain. The 22-year-old was probably saved by a rare birth defect - a fluid-filled channel in her brain that maneuvered the bullet. Her family is struggling with paying for her medical bills along with those of her mother who is battling terminal breast cancer. To help, visit a website created by her friends and family: http://www.indiegogo.com/readytobelieve
