It was a holiday miracle for one family in Colorado Springs. Tracy Hermanstorfer’s water broke at 5:00am on Christmas Eve, several weeks early. She and her husband Mike were planning a natural birth, but things quickly changed when she went into cardiac arrest.

Tracy’s heart stopped, and she underwent an emergency c-section, with no time for anesthesia. Mike was in the room, in complete shock. He tells NEWSCHANNEL13 he was in complete shock after seeing one of the worst things manageable happen before his eyes.

According to doctors at Memorial Hospital, this type of complication during birth is rare, but when it does happen, there is hardly ever a positive out come. Once both Mom and Baby were stable, doctors examined Tracy to try and determine what went wrong, and how both she and her baby pulled through, but they were unable to find a reason.

The Hermanstorfer’s new miracle baby is named Coltyn Mikel. He weighs 7lbs 4 ounces, and is 19 inches long.

The family has two other boys at home, an 11-year-old and a 3-year-old. They say they now plan to go home and enjoy their second chance.

Yes, Yemen has oil.

The Middle Eastern nation – in the south of the Arabian Peninsula, bordering the Arabian Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Red Sea – has been exporting a couple of billion dollars worth of crude oil per year.

But it’s oil supplies are shrinking rapidly, and may be totally depleted within 10 years.

As the Yemen Observer notes:

Yemeni crude oil exports decreased to $1.5 billion during the fiscal period from January –October of 2009, compared with $4.2 billion during the same period of 2008, a decrease of $2.7 billion, the Central Bank of Yemen reported.

And the World Tribune points out:

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace said Yemen was rapidly losing its crude oil reserves.

In a report, Carnegie said Yemeni oil exports, a key source of foreign currency, declined from 450,000 barrels per day in 2003 to 280,000 in early 2009, Middle East Newsline reported.

“Barring any major new discoveries, energy experts generously estimate that Yemen’s oil exports will cease in 10 years,” the report, titled “Yemen: Avoiding a Downward Spiral,” said.
