SukritiCalculating The Probability
As Marc and his team were supposed to decide if they were about to take the lady to the hospital or what else should be done. The time was running fast and the team was now sure that the lady cannot take it for another 15-20 minutes. They made their calculations and according to them, the lady was about to give birth in less than 5 minutes.
Just Do It
“It was a pretty serious call for us,” said Marc in an interview. They were in the parking lot about to move towards the hospital when this decision was taken. It was clear that they had no time to rush to the hospital and that the team of firefighters has to deliver the baby. This wasn’t the first time they were about to conduct a delivery, firefighters are specially trained for situations like these.
Think Quick
They were going to deliver the baby Marc recalled about that moment, “we got her on some oxygen, started some IVs and literally as we were getting ready to leave the parking lot in the ambulance, my partner said, ‘We’re about to deliver a baby right here.’” Marc was aware that it’s a critical situation what he wasn’t aware of was the fact that this was about to be the best thing he’ll ever be a part of.
The Moment Of Truth
Marc quickly ran into action. The first thing they did was to cut her clothes so that they can easily deliver the baby. All of a sudden a regular day at office changed to an exceptionally hustling one to save two lives. Although Marc’s teammates have faced such situations before Marc only saved lives before, he never delivered a baby ever. So, yes this was more significant for Marc than anyone else in his team.
Here It Goes
Both the mother and the baby girl were safe but the struggling thing was yet be revealed by the lady. The baby girl was given to Marc right after her birth. This was an emotional moment for the young firefighter. But he wasn’t aware that his whole family will be thankful for this moment for the rest of their lives.
First Cry
“She struggled from the minute she was put in my hands,” Hadden recalled holding the newly born 6-pound, 2-oz. (2.8 kg) girl. For a baby, it is very important to cry as it helps in removing the excess water in the lungs, nose, and mouth. She was breathing properly but didn’t cry. “It was amazing to hear her cry,” Marc said thinking of the moment.
