What treatment was given to resuscitate the child? What was the result?
Ans. To resuscitate the child Andrew snatched a blanket and he laid the child upon it and then began the special method of respiration. He splashed cold water into one basin, into the other he mixed water as hot as his hand could bear. Then like some crazy juggler, he hurried the child between the two, now plunging it into the icy, now into the steaming bath. His breath came pan-tingly. But no breath came from the lax body of the child.
He still persisted in one last effort rubbing the child with a rough towel crushing and releasing the little chest with both his hands trying to get breath into that limp body. The blanched skin was slowly turning pink. Then, exquisitely, came the child’s cry.
How did the child come to life at last?
Ans. Andrew was not ready to quit and he tried until the last moment. He started rubbing the child with a rough towel. And then, as by a miracle, the pygmy chest, which his hands enclosed, gave a short, conclusive heave, another and another. The sense of life, springing beneath his fingers after all that unavailing striving, was so exquisite it almost made him faint. He redoubled his efforts feverishly. The child was gasping deeper and deeper. A bubble of mucus came from one tiny nostril, a joyful iridescent bubble. The limbs were no longer boneless. The head no longer lay back spinelessly. The blanched skin was slowly turning pink. Then, exquisitely, came the child’s cry.
