UK paper says: "Miracle mum brings premature baby son back to life with two hours of loving cuddles after doctors pronounce him dead."

REPORTER'S NOTE: Although in the original report God wasn't given any credit for working a miracle, we know that "every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights." (James 1:17). The inspiring element here, I think, is the mother's undaunted love in the face of a death verdict. That kind of love is also an element of faith that I, personally, need to hold fast to. Love never fails! -Teresa Neumann, BCN.

(Sydney, Australia)—Newborn Jamie Ogg, weighing only 2 lb. when he was born prematurely, was apparently brought back to life as a direct result of his mother's love.

As reported by the Mail Foreign Service, premature twin sister had survived, but doctors had told Jamie's mother, Kate, when they brought him to her for "Kangaroo care," that he had absolutely no chance of survival.

Kangaroo care, as stated in the report, "is a technique which is being promoted at an increasing number of hospitals in this country, and is based on skin-to-skin contact between a newborn and a parent or even siblings."

Indeed, when her son was handed to her, the doctor told Kate and Jamie's father to say their good-byes. "We've lost Jamie," he said. "He didn't make it, sorry."

Said Kate: "He was very limp. His little arms and legs were just falling down away from his body.'I took my gown off and arranged him on my chest with his head over my arm and just held him. He wasn't moving at all and we just started talking to him. We told him what his name was and that he had a sister. We told him the things we wanted to do with him throughout his life."

But, said Kate, "after just five minutes I felt him move as if he were startled, then he started gasping more and more regularly. I thought, 'Oh my God, what's going on?' A short time later he opened his eyes. It was a miracle."

According to the report, the message was passed on to their doctor, but "he sent back a midwife with the reply that they were just natural reflexes and that there was no possible way he could still be alive."

When the doctor finally arrived, he listened to Jamie's chest with a stethoscope and said, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it."
