Mike Hermanstorfer (37) was taken in a few minutes everything - and then returned.
His wife Tracy (33) was in labor, was given a spinal injection. All at once put out her heart.
All attempts by the medical team to resuscitate it were unsuccessful. The young woman was dead, the doctors told the man resolved that they must now bring the baby by Caesarean.
Because the mother was already dead for five minutes as they gave her no anesthetic when they opened the abdomen. But at the very moment when the boy was sent for, came back, her heart beat.
But now the boy was breathing no longer in the arms of a doctor. He showed no sign of life.
"My legs gave way under me. All I had in the world, had been taken from me within minutes, "says Hermanstorfer. "She handed me this lifeless bunch. It was very relaxed, had no life in it. "
But against all medical expectations, also fought the child back to life. The doctors are perplexed. They had "no idea" what had gone before him. Mother and baby are doing well again.
