Tracy Hermanstorfer kisses her newborn son, Coltyn, Monday, at a hospital in Colorado Springs, Colo.

DENVER – Mike Hermanstorfer was clutching his pregnant wife’s hand in a Colorado hospital on Christmas Eve when she stopped breathing, her life apparently slipping away. Then he cradled his newborn son’s limp body seconds after a medical team delivered the baby by Cesarean section.

Minutes later he saw his son show signs of life in his arms under the feverish attention of doctors, and soon he learned his wife had inexplicably started breathing again.

“My legs went out from underneath me,” Hermanstorfer said Tuesday. “I had everything in the world taken from me, and in an hour and a half I had everything given to me.” More.

Nothing better than a happy ending, even if they had to mangle the spelling of the baby's name. What's the best news you've heard this week?
