Mum's Miracle Cuddle Brings Baby Back To Life by MrsSiena1(f): 8:59pm On Aug 27, 2010 |
A mother who nursed her premature baby back from the dead has been describing how she refused to give up even though doctors had told her he would not survive. Kate Ogg gave birth to twins in a hospital in Sydney, Australia. They were delivered at 27 weeks, weighing just 2lb, and though Mrs Ogg's little girl Emily was healthy, her brother Jamie was not breathing. After battling to save him for 20 minutes, medical staff told her he had not survived. "The doctor asked me had we chosen a name for our son," said Mrs Ogg. "I said 'Jamie' and he turned around with my son already wrapped up and said: 'We've lost Jamie, he didn't make it, sorry'. "It was the worst feeling I've ever felt. I unwrapped Jamie from his blanket. He was very limp." Mrs Ogg told Channel 7's Today Tonight programme that she wanted to hold him next to her skin. "I took my gown off and arranged him on my chest with his head over my arm and just held him. "He wasn't moving at all and we just started talking to him. "We told him what his name was and that he had a sister. We told him the things we wanted to do with him throughout his life." After two hours, he began showing signs of life. "Jamie occasionally gasped for air, which doctors said was a reflex action," Mrs Ogg explained. "But then I felt him move as if he were startled, then he started gasping more and more regularly. I gave Jamie some breast milk on my finger, he took it and started regular breathing normally." "I thought 'Oh my God, what's going on?' A short time later he opened his eyes. It was a miracle. "Then he held out his hand and grabbed my finger. He opened his eyes and moved his head from side to side. The doctor kept shaking his head saying: 'I don't believe it, I don't believe it'." It is thought that the warmth of Mrs Ogg's body acted like an incubator to keep the baby warm and stimulated. It adds weight to the theory of "kangaroo care", named after the way marsupials care for their young in their pouches. Some experts believe a skin-to-skin approach is more beneficial than taking newborn babies into intensive care incubators. Jamie is now a healthy five month old. His father David told the Channel 7 programme: "Luckily I've got a very strong, very smart wife. She instinctively did what she did. If she hadn't done that, Jamie probably wouldn't be here."

If you refuse to die no one will bury you. 1 Like |

Rubbish. . .the baby wasnt completely dead. It is IMPOSSIBLE for a TRULY dead man to come back to life. No one has ever risen from the dead be you Jesus or yaradua. |

michelin89: yes there is, " known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world": she refused to register the bad report. As far as the mother was concerned, none would be barren in the land. Pure emotion, pure force, pure violence in belief! shikena |

Maybe she prayed, maybe she was just cuddling her baby to say her final goodbyes - we will never know. What we know is that studies show that the quickest cure for a neonate (premature baby) suffering from hypothermia is a mothers hug - in the same way that a breastfed child is less likely to fall sick than a bottlefed child. So yes, we are fearfully and wonderfully made. What I do not agree with is that is is as a result of Australia's "christian heritage". There are many countries with "christian heritages" where children have died at birth - what will you say about God in these situations? This lady might not even believe in God in the first place! |

michelin89:Nairaland is full of atheists. Someone should open a 'blog' for them. |

DejiYesufu: How about we open a "rehab" for you? |
Re: Mum's Miracle Cuddle Brings Baby Back To Life by maclatunji: 6:39pm On Aug 28, 2010 |
It is a miracle not because the baby woke up, but for the fact that the woman was inspired not to accept the doctors verdict that the baby was dead and unconsciously took steps to revive him. The formula is simple. Doctor tries to revive child but failed. (Science) Grieving mother by stroke of luck and divine providence revives baby. (God factor) It is not good to throw away science, however not everything that exists can be explained or has been discovered by science. For example, no matter the extent to which science advances will there be a time in this life when people will see God. You just have to accept he is there. |

LOL God indeed !! please let's get serious, This follows last week's shock deaths of six premature babies and if I may ask why God didn't show up to save the poor babies ? Nigerians it's time we must act and stop counting on that imaginary God. |

WOW. I'm impressed how nairalanders have converted this story to a Christianity miracle story where nothing in the story suggests this. It wasn't even mentioned a single prayer was made by the woman but she just did what she had to do. Unlike these nairalanders who would have requested their pastor was called before doing anything by when the baby would have passed away. Ignorance and stupidity is a disease that has destroyed some people to the joy of pastors (especially the chubby highflying Nigerian ones) |
Re: Mum's Miracle Cuddle Brings Baby Back To Life by Ivynwa(f): 2:39am On Aug 29, 2010 |
Just like I exclaimed after reading that miraculous story-----Alleluiah! @190 Sweetheart please hold on to that 3000+ faith God just increased for you and run with it. Hoping it makes you stop philandering and being mischievious in NL. Where is your babe Omotola? Omonwa please help us ensure that that faith stays overnight at least or you can take him to a certain Holy Japhet church in the thread below so that they can do"Bamitism" on him.

I read this story in the metro newspaper and tears filled my eyes. There are so many things unfathomable to man; above the intelligence of science and philosophy . They are simply called miracles. God uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. |
