Premature newborn was pronounced dead: but then doctors gave him to his mother to hold
Life Site News ^ | May 31, 2013 | Lauren Enriquez

A premature newborn in Australia, born along with his twin sister at just 27 weeks’ gestation and weighing in at only two pounds, was pronounced dead by his physician after medical staff tried for twenty minutes to revive him. Jamie Ogg, now a little over three years old, is alive today only because of the undying love and affection of his mother.

According to the U.K.’s Daily Mail, when Jamie was pronounced dead, the doctor handed him to his mother, Kate, so that she could say goodbye to her son. Kate took Jamie into her arms and tearfully caressed her tiny son.

She and her husband spoke to him, telling him what his name was, and that he had a sister. She told him the things that she had wanted to do with him throughout his life. Kate held Jamie on her chest, skin-to-skin, and occasionally he would gasp – a reflex the doctor said was normal after death.

But Kate held on to Jamie for two hours, cradling and talking to him, and slowly she witnessed him beginning to show signs of life.

Jamie began gasping for air more frequently, and then Kate gave him a little breast milk on her finger. The baby took the milk, and then he opened his eyes. Her stupefied doctor stood next to the bed, astonished and in disbelief. It was a miracle, and it has been wholly attributed to the faithfulness of a loving mother who, although there was no reason to believe that her son would come back to life, still showed him all of the love she had within her.

What a beautiful story.

My older sisters told me that my Mother’s love and care was the only thing which kept me alive when I was a baby. I had the whooping cough. I do remember Mother telling me that my arms and legs wasted away until they were no large than one’s fingers.

Awesome story! There is so much more to life than doctors often admit, at least modern doctors.

I don’t care how tough you are, if there aren’t tears on this one, you should ask yourself why not.

Really an uplifting post...

The Dearh Panels will have something to say about babies who won’t stay dead.

“I don’t care how tough you are, if there aren’t tears on this one, you should ask yourself why not.”

Right there with you! With 99% of “the news” dealing with the $hit all around the world, it is indeed a blessing to be able to share something as positive and uplifting as a story like this one! I had to dry my eyes too.

it even happens with pets. had one little guy who was older and very sick and i spent the night with him in a animal emergency clinic just holding him while he was on a drip. telling him we wouldn’t give up on im, what a good boy he was, etc.

he’s sitting on the ottoman in front of me right now.

“This may be frustrating to Planned Parenthood” ????

Not a chance! Wholly invested in the culture of death.
