Dad saves newborn after unexpected home birth

There are a few lessons to learn here, including tips on what to do with the baby in case you're ever caught in a similar situation. Excerpts from the news report:

PORTLAND, Ore. - Acting on the instructions of a 911 operator, Boe Ellis breathed life into his newborn daughter as paramedics raced to the house where the baby arrived sooner than her parents or doctors expected.

"I would give Dad all the credit in the world," said Bob Pulford, one of the paramedics.

In a matter of minutes, the baby was born. But instead of warming to a healthy pink, she was pale and struggling for air.

As paramedics raced to the Ellis home, Boe, 29, followed instructions from 911 operator Tammy Shaver. He cleared his daughter's breathing passage, blew two puffs of air into her mouth and gently pressed on her chest to stimulate her heart.

Finally, Boe tapped on his daughter's feet, and Bridget took her first light breaths as Pulford and fellow paramedics Val Codino and Tighe Vroman arrived.
