Miracle baby "doing really, really well"

Baby Urias was born on August 31, 2018 in Durant, Oklahoma. He was born dead but brought back to life by the power of God.

Jacob Sheriff, the father of baby Urias posted online yesterday that Urias was taken to his follow up appointment with the neurologist and the report was awesome.

Sheriff said that the doctor was very happy with what he sees. And that the baby is doing really, really well.

Back in August Sheriff’s wife had a 100 per cent placental abruption in which the placenta separates from the uterus. Most babies die from that because they lose oxygen in the womb. Some mothers die from it too if it's not caught early enough because of excessive bleeding.

During delivery, the doctor noticed something was wrong and notified the hospital to prep the OR for an emergency c-section.

When the baby was taken out, he was blue and not breathing. Not knowing how long prior he wasn't breathing, the doctors tried resuscitating the baby for 15 minutes.

Sheriff explained that normally they will try for 6 to 10 minutes, but they were determined to resuscitate him, going longer than they should have.

His organs had shut down and there wasn't a pulse or a heartbeat. They finally got him to breathe but were afraid of brain damage.

Through a new treatment at the hospital and the power of prayer, baby Urias beat the odds and is thriving and growing stronger.

In the online post, Sheriff said that the doctor doesn't need to see Urias for another six months and that the doctor really liked to be proven wrong, when Urias' prognosis didn't look good in those early days.

Hannah Sheriff, Jacob's wife said online, "Never underestimate God's Word, His power, and the power of prayer in agreement with His Word and fellow believers that stand with you."
