Pro-life video of the day: Two lives hanging in the balance
by Hans Johnson
Last February, Erica Nigrelli, an English teacher at Elkins High School in Missouri City, Texas, was visiting a colleague’s classroom when she passed out. She was 36 weeks pregnant at the time. Her husband Nathan, also an English teacher there, was among those who attended her. Her heart had stopped, and it took the use of CPR and a defibrillator by school nurse Jennifer Longoria, her assistant Maxine Reeves, and athletic trainer June Tomlin to get it going again till paramedics arrived.
The emergency C-Section that delivered baby Elayna was technically post-mortem because Erica’s heart had stopped again. She was revived and later diagnosed with hypertropic cardiomyopathy.
Here is the initial report from CNN:
Erica’s co-workers were honored at a city council meeting.
You can see how the Nigrelli family is doing now in this interview with CNN’s Early Start.

The people that find these pictures offensive and shocking would also find the real picture of Jesus on the cross and dying for them as offensive and shocking. The leaders of the “Christian??” school really need to study the book of Jude. Many clouds without water.

Uh, Reggie, I think you’re in the wrong thread.
That’s all right, JDC. Anything to up the number of comments and soothe my fragile ego. ;)
Meanwhile it’s great that life will out if given half a chance. :)
What a wonderful and amazing story! Thank God for the helpers!
P.S. would this count as an abortion, as some were saying on the Beatriz thread? :P
Good thing for the quick response from her coworkers! Thank God for such a happy and miraculous ending. (:
Amen!!
