A newborn pronounced dead at birth
miraculously began breathing on her own 28
minutes later. According to Metro Halifax, 34
year old Robin Cyr gave birth to her fourth
child last Saturday morning in Halifax, Nova
Scotia, but was told the baby girl had died
from being wedged in the birth canal during
delivery.
Doctors tried to revive the baby for 25 minutes
to no avail. So they took her out of the
delivery room but a few minutes later, a
stuttering, breathless nurse rushed back into
the room to say the baby had started
breathing again.
Recounting her ordeal, Robin said she laid on
the bed waiting after delivery, for 25 minutes,
for any sign of
life.
“My aunt looked at me and said, ‘Your baby
girl’s gone,’” adding that the baby’s body
was taken out of the room after being declared
dead. Suddenly, another nurse came over, two
minutes later…she couldn’t talk. She was
speechless, and another nurse came over and
said, ‘Your baby’s breathing.
My aunt was there, and it’s a blessing
because her prayers are very deep and strong.
When she started praying, my baby came
back.”
Robin asked her doctors what brought the
baby back to life but they had no answers. A
flummoxed surgeon told Cyr’s family that he
had no explanation for the seemingly
impossible recovery.
“He said it’s a miracle. He said, ‘I’m very
sorry I gave up on your baby when I did,
because I turned around and she’s breathing
on her own.’”
The 4kg, chubby little girl – with an
impressive shock of dark hair – is now
breathing on her own in the neonatal intensive
care unit, and looks like any other healthy
newborn baby. Her parents already had a
name for her in mind but they are considering
something different given the incredible turn of
events.
“Everybody just keeps saying, Miracle,
Miracle,” an excited Robin said.
