The ‘Rescuing Hug’…This is an amazing story of twin baby girls. One baby was not expected to live. A hospital nurse fought to put them in the same incubator. The stronger baby wrapped her arm around her sister, and her touch allowed the struggling baby’s heart to stabilize and her temperature to return to normal. If you’ve never read this amazing story featured in Life Magazine and Readers Digest then keep you must hear this and see the amazing story of love and life…
Kyrie and Brielle Jackson were born on October 17th 1995 at the Massachusetts Memorial Hospital in Worcester, MA. Each of the twins weighted all of two pounds at birth. Though Kyrie was putting on a bit of weight in the days following her arrival, Brielle was not doing well. She cried a great deal, leaving her gasping and blue-faced.
Brielle was having a particularly bad day. Nurse Gayle in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit tried everything to calm her.
She held her.
She had her dad hold her.
She wrapped her in a blanket.
She suctioned her nose.
Nothing worked.
Then, she remembered hearing about a procedure done in Europe. She put Brielle in the incubator with her sister Kyrie. Almost immediately, Brielle snuggled up to Kyrie.
Her blood-oxygen levels, which had been frightenly low, soared.
She began to breathe more easily.
The frantic crying stopped and her normal pinkish color quickly returned.
Over the next weeks, her health improved steadily in her new, less lonely quarters. The children survived their rocky beginning and in time went home with their parents. When last heard from, Brielle and Kyrie were healthy preschoolers.
