• Mom Resuscitates Baby Four Times On Phone With Emergency Control

  Four times Cordelia Nolan's newborn son stopped breathing, and four times she brought him back while she waited for emergency workers to show up on her doorstep.  Nolan's cousin, Kieran Byrne, acted as a go-between between a 999 (this was Britain) operator and Cordelia while she repeated CPR again and again on her little boy, just ten weeks old and born two months premature.
