For this reason, I can understand why the doctor did not believe the family.
I am not sure what could have been done to convince the doctor to come back sooner and help the baby...
I love it! This little guy might have a stubborn streak, but he finally responded to his parents! Not only is this a miracle, but it also may be strong evidence of prenatal intelligence.
If he reached out and grabbed that finger, this kid is going to be just fine.
Ping to share with J. and S.
ummm...
time of viability of the fetus hard to define isn’t it?
It is for that very reason that the doctor should have come back to the room. How indifferent it was to send the mid-wife in to explain they were witnessing "death throes."
I do find this very intriguing. I would love to know if there was some type of mother-to-son chemical reaction while she held him close or was there something in the breast milk which kept his physical being from shutting down completely.

I used to tell my patients the squeaky wheel gets the grease. :-)
Wonderful outcome. The doctor should have returned much sooner. I hope the little kid will be okay in all ways.
My dad used to say......You be the squeaky wheel too much...then the squeaky wheel get’s replaced.
Never underestimate the power of a mother’s love and the power of God.
and finally some good news for a change...
I must admit..there is a line. I am not one for making noise over trivial items.
But in this case, the squeakier, the better.
“...come back to life after two hours of being held by his mother. ...”
Momma’s love is a miracle from God.
You go, tough little guy. God bless him and his family, and I believe he’s meant for great things.
Not easy to do, but this choked me up...a crusty, old, jaded, cynical b*stard like me.
Thanks for the ping, Brother G...I needed some good news.
We don’t have all the answers do we.
Who knew?
You’re right. It was a touching incident. Wonderful.
“...We don’t have all the answers do we...”
You got that right, D-One...No, we don’t...at all.
With each passing day, I begin to realize how much I personally DON’T know “jack” about “sh*t” - and that only God has the answers, and all we can do it try to play catch-up...and fail miserably.
Tough little guy. I hope he thrives...as a matter of fact, suddenly for some reason, it matters a great deal to me that he does, and I’ll never even know/meet/see these people...
In this whole sick f***ing world full of dumbass people who do nothing but mess with and screw with and eff-over other folks, this poor little guy drops in, gets left for dead before he even has a chance, and all that stands between him and eternity is his momma’s love, pain, and tears. This kid’s struggle for life, which goes largely unnoticed and uncared about, plays out in a hospital halfway across the world - and the people that are SUPPOSED to “do no harm” and help him come into the world turn their back and leave him for dead...
And despite the odds and everything against him, he lives. His “First Great Act of Defiance” is that he lives... simply because God says so, and not some white-coat who knows it all.
I hope he grows up and changes the world for the better, in his day and time. I hope he becomes a good man, and raises a family of good children.
Prayers up for him and his family...
not to trivialize the miracle by any means, and being glad to have choked up another crusty old bastard [as it did to me, hence the pingy], here to the lad as being a Godly servant to the Father, and for potentially being the ‘john connor’ that will ultimately emerge as a leader...
