Hermanstorfer’s wife, Tracy, went into cardiac arrest and stopped breathing during labor on Thursday, said Dr. Stephanie Martin, a maternal fetal medicine specialist at Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs, where the Hermanstorfers had gone for the birth of their son.

“She had no signs of life. No heartbeat, no blood pressure, she wasn’t breathing,” said Martin, who had rushed to Hermanstorfer’s room to help. “The baby was, it was basically limp, with a very slow heart rate.”

After their miraculous recovery, both mother and the baby, named Coltyn, appear healthy with no signs of problems, Martin said.

She said she cannot explain the mother’s cardiac arrest or the recovery.

“We did a thorough evaluation and can’t find anything that explains why this happened,” she said.

Mike Hermanstorfer credits “the hand of God.”
I love reading about miracles. Everything about this story was great and refreshing to hear, as opposed to the UGH people in the world and their repetitive, whiny dribbles. :)

    omg, I just read this story. It was a very sad to read at first, until they started talking about how the baby and wife just came back to life. What a miracle. That's just amazing how something like that happened.

    I teared when reading it even though the title says that it's a happy ending. ;;
