If there is one thing that every woman knows about being pregnant, is the fact that life can be unpredictable. You might start out your day thinking that everything is perfectly fine and suddenly, it becomes a most unusual day of your life.
Nobody knows this better than a young mother named Kaycee. Her mother worked at a local diner where truck drivers tended to gather. Since she had gone into labor, and the baby was coming quickly, she was rushing in to see if she could get some help from her mother.
That is when she learned that her mother was already at the hospital and the only people inside of the diner were two truck drivers. She had never met them before, but they knew how to take action and they did something that most people would never be able to do.
One of the truck drivers, Fred, called 911 and stayed on the phone with them. Peter, the other truck driver, was trying to deliver the baby. As the baby was about halfway out, Peter realized that the umbilical cord had wrapped around the baby’s neck. What is worse is the fact that the baby was entirely blue and wasn’t moving.
They only had one chance to save the baby and the 911 operator was giving them the directions they needed. They had to push the baby back up inside of Kaycee. Even though neither truck driver had delivered a baby before, they knew that they had to do something to save the child’s life.
This isn’t something that is easy to do in fact, it’s a rather difficult process. They continued to encourage the mother while at the same time, pushing the baby back up in. It didn’t take long before they were able to loosen the umbilical cord from around the baby’s neck and deliver the child.
The baby was now out but they still were not out of the woods. The child was not moving and Peter said that it was somewhat like a ragdoll. He wasn’t quite sure what to do but he started to gently blow into the baby’s face and before long, the child came back to life.
