Mother's touch revives pronounced-dead Newborn

"Kate Ogg was told her newborn son Jamie had died after efforts to resuscitate the premature infant had failed shortly after his birth. But when Kate was given the chance to say goodbye to the apparently lifeless baby, she and her husband, David, found they were instead saying hello to the newest member of their family."

"Now 5 months old and healthy, baby Jamie and his twin sister, Emily, appeared on TODAY Friday with their proud parents, who told the amazing tale of what happened to them in a Sydney, Australia, hospital last March."

"But a strange thing happened on their way to farewell. After five minutes, Jamie began displaying short, startled movements. As Kate and David looked on, his movements became more pronounced.

Still, the baby?s doctor told the parents any movements were purely reflex, and their son was not alive.

Proud parents David and Kate Ogg visited TODAY with their twins, Emily and Jamie. Doctors had pronounced Jamie dead when he was born.Kate and David nonetheless reveled in their son?s movements, even though they believed he was dead. ?We?d resigned ourselves to the fact we were going to lose him; we were just trying to make the most of those last precious moments,? Kate said.

David Ogg told Curry the couple had hoped ?for an extra minute or two? with their son, but it eventually extended more than two hours. But no one was more surprised than David and Kate when their seemingly dead son opened his eyes. "

I think this is a beautiful story.

I think I'd drop the kid in shock.

Can't be a very good doctor if he can't distiguish life from death.

That is an amazing story! !!

A feel good story

Sooo sweet!

That's a good and very scary point.

Well the newborn wasn't breathing and had a weak pulse.
He was only pronounced dead, which (I believe) can be said even when someone is still on the way out.
