On March 25, 2010, Kate and David Ogg heard the words every parent fears: Their newborn wasn't going to make it. Their twins—a girl and a boy—were born two minutes 1 and 14 weeks before the natural time, 2 just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to 3 the boy for 20 minutes but saw no 4. His 5 was nearly gone, and he'd stopped breathing.
The baby had just moments to live. "I saw him gasp (倒抽气), but the doctor said it was no 6," Kate remembered. "I know it sounds 7, but if he was still gasping, that was a(n) 8of life. I wasn't going to 9 easily." Still, the 10 knew this was likely goodbye. "We'd accepted the fact that we were going to 11 him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last moments."
Kate took Jamie out of his hospital blanket and 12 David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as 13 as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin 14 would improve his condition. They also talked to 15. "We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to 16 and how hard we had tried to have him." Then something unbelievable happened. Jamie gasped again—and then he started 17. Finally, he 18 for his father's finger. The couple's dying boy had made it.
Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The Oggs only recently told the kids the story of their 19. "Emily burst into tears," Kate said. "She was really upset, and she kept holding Jamie in arms . This whole experience makes you 20 them more."
