DENVER - Mike Hermanstorfer was clutching his pregnant wife’s hand when her life slipped away in a Colorado hospital on Christmas Eve, and then he cradled his newborn son’s limp body seconds after a medical team delivered the baby by Cesarean section.
Minutes later he saw his son come to life in his arms under the feverish attention of doctors, and soon he learned his wife had inexplicably come back to life.
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.”
A man who was injured in a car crash more than 50 years ago has miraculously grown back his skull, according to reports.
72-year-old Gordon Moore had worn a metal plate to protect his brain after an accident, and when surgeons removed it, they found his skull had regenerated underneath.
Doctors say it is an extremely rare medical occurrence, and it is believed there has been only one other similar case in the world.
Mr Moore reportedly wore the metal plate to protect the front section of his skull, from his eye to his ear and back to the top of his head.
The amazing discovery of the new bone was found when doctors operated on Mr Moore to treat an infection around the plate.
The former postmaster is quoted as saying, "They took the infected plate out and found I had grown a completely new skull underneath, so they just stitched me up."
He added, "They were totally amazed."
Newcastle Hospitals consultant neurologist Param Bhattahiri said, "It was a great surprise to find the skull had grown back. You would expect it in a child, but not in an adult, certainly not an area of bone so big."
Mr Moore is enjoying a new lease of life.
"Everyone thinks it's great. I'm very lucky I suppose. I was told the metal plate would last me for the rest of my life. I never expected this to happen," he said.

Some businesspeople like to pretend they need their BlackBerry phones as if their lives depended on it, but David Fitzherbert means it, literally.
No, really -- his BlackBerry apparently saved his life.
While skiing in the Swiss Alps earlier this month, Fitzherbert, 52, plunged 70 feet into a crevasse, where he became wedged in between two walls of ice. The only thing prevnting him from plunging 700 feet: The 1/2-inch-wide BlackBerry in the breast pocket of his coat.

September 2008 the then 2 year old Oluchi Nwaubani fell into a swimming pool in London. At that time of year the water was freezing cold.

Paramedics were unable to start Oluchi breathing again. A medvac helicopter rushed her to the Royal London hospital where doctors gave her a 2% of surviving.
“For days we were thinking is she going to live or is she going to die.
