A text message arrived a few hours later from Baton Rouge. All the babies had made it, including Gershanik’s. Baby Boy S’s oxygen level on arrival matched what it had been on the high-tech machines, thanks to the doctor’s life-support improvisations. The babies were more resilient than the doctor had imagined.
A miracle, but not a supernatural one. A miracle made possible by the passion and strength of the care team. A testament to the devotion of dpctors and nurses.
