TOUCH REVIVES PREMATURE NEWBORN



http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/6612304-mothers-touch-brings-premature-baby-back-to-life

In August, 2010, doctors attempted to save Kate Ogg's two pound baby after its premature delivery. Their efforts proved unsuccessful, and the 27 week old baby was declared dead.

Kate took the baby and wrapped him up in a towel, cuddling and holding him against her skin. Two hours later the baby began showing signs of life.

At first, those present mistook the movements as a reflex action, but the baby began breathing normally, even opening his eyes and reaching up to grasp his mother's finger.

Her husband commented: "'She instinctively did what she did. If she hadn't done that, Jamie probably wouldn't be here.'"
