A mother in Australia was told by a doctor that her new born son was dead but she helped to bring him back to life by holding the baby against her body. She used a method known as a kangaroo care. The child, named Jamie ,was born after only 27 weeks with his twin sister, Emily, in a hospital in Sydney. Her birth went well ,but his was a different story. The doctor struggled for 20 minutes to save Jamie before announcing him dead.

“His little arms and legs were just falling down away from his body.” Kate Ogg said ,“I took off my coat and put him on my chest with his head over my arm.” She and her husband, David ,said to the child as she continued to hold him for nearly 2 hours. During that time, the two-pound baby showed the sign of life. She said , “I told my mum ,who was there, that he was still alive. Then he held out his hand and grabbed my finger. ”Their tiny baby grew stronger and stronger in his mother’s arms, and their final goodbye turned into a hello.
