Details were limited but according to a spokesperson with Harris County Health System, the baby girl arrived at the hospital in the morning, but there was a "lack of bed space" at the hospital.
As a result, they transferred her to another city, because "there were no beds available at any other pediatric hospitals in Houston," the spokesperson added.
