A baby girl who was pronounced dead at birth came back to life three hours later on the altar of a hospital chapel.
According to reports,the body of Yasmin
Gomes had been placed in a box and left in the chapel at the hospital
in Londrina, south Brazil, by a nurse who couldn't face sending her to
the morgue.
Yasmin's body remained in a box in the
chapel until 2pm, when her grandmother arrived with the owner of a
funeral parlour, Rosilis Ferro, carrying the baby's coffin.
But as soon as they went to pick her up, the newborn kicked a leg, according to Ms Ferro.
The baby's grandmother said, "At first I
couldn't believe it, we couldn't accept that it could happen. Then we
saw that she was breathing. We hugged each other and started to shout,
'she's alive, she's alive'. It was a miracle."
Hospital records show Yasmin was born
alive after a normal birth on Tuesday morning at the Lincoln Graca
hospital, but stopped breathing immediately after birth. Doctors
unsuccessfully tried to revive the baby several times but she was
finally declared dead at 11am, and a death certificate issued.
Jenifer da Silva Gomes, 22, mother of the baby said she was the first to be told that her daughter had died.
According to the nurse, Ana Claudia
Oliveira, who accompanied the birth, she had no doubt the baby was dead
as her pupils didn't respond to light and all her signs pointed to
complete absence of life.
"I saw it with my own eyes. She was blue all over, completely dead," she said.
Mum Jennifer said she was still being
comforted by family members when a nurse burst into the room and
shouted: "Your daughter's alive".
She remembered: "At first I had no
reaction, I didn't know what to think. Then I started to be sick. But
after that I couldn't contain my happiness."...follow us on twitter @abroko zone.
