Christmas "Miracle": Mom and Baby Die and Revive
On Christmas Eve, Tracy Hermanstorfer died while giving birth to her son, but a few minutes after he was delivered, she began breathing again; and now both mother and child are recovering well. During the delivery, it appears that Hermanstorfer stopped breathing and went into cardiac arrest. Doctors then performed an emergency cesarean section in an effort to save the baby, only to find that he, too, was not breathing. As the doctors worked to resuscitate the newborn, which they were able to do successfully, the mother regained her pulse. It is not clear what prompted the mother's heart to restart.
