This is a classic "Angel" story that appeared in the newspaper "Foster's Daily Democrat" (Dover, NH) in August of 2000. It illustrates how someone (the "angel") comes out of nowhere with exactly the material, expertise, or equipment to resolve a perilous situation, and then often disappears without a trace or for the opportunity for the recipient to thank or acknowledge the helpful intervention. Please read on. The following is the text of the article from the aforementioned newspaper.

Rochester infant saved by "angels"

ROCHESTER -They seemed like two angels from heaven, sent down to make a difference in one little boy's life.

It only took an instant for panic to set in when 3-month-old Dakota Levi Keizer stopped breathing on Saturday in a parking lot outside his grandmother's downtown apartment.

For his grandmother, Ann Carter, it was a moment she'll never forget. She had gone upstairs, leaving Dakota and his mother in the parking lot. When she came back, she found her daughter, Heather Keizer, yelling. "She was screaming for me to help her," said Carter, who is from Rochester.

Dakota wasn't breathing and he was quickly turning blue. Carter, who has training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, took the baby from his mother and pounded on his back.

"He still wasn"t breathing," she recalled. "He was turning blue, blue blue." Carter, too, called for help.

From inside a nearby camera shop, two women emerged. They took the baby.

"It all happened so fast," she said. "They said they were nurses or paramedics or something. One woman took a bag from her car, pulled out plastic gloves and a stethoscope. Another pounded on the baby"s back and hung him by his legs.

Finally, Dakota started breathing. They checked his breathing with the stethoscope. "She said it was rattling, but that he would be OK," Carter said.

By that time, Frisbie Emergency Medical Services paramedics were on scene and checking the baby. He was fine.

Carter and Keizer turned to the two women, but they were gone. "I would like to find them to say thank you," Carter said. "Without them, I don"t know what would have happened. They saved his life."

Little Dakota, his mother and 3-year-old sister have since gone to Maine to "get away," Carter said. "He's doing great," she added. "We just wish we could find those women. I would give them a hug and say thank you. We're just so thankful they were there."
