hugs save lives?

"The Rescuing Hug" 
(as found on Facebook)


In the first week of life this set of twins each were in their respective incubators, 
 
and one was not expected to live. 
 
A hospital nurse fought against hospital rules 
and
placed the babies in one incubator. 
When they were placed together, the healthier of the two threw an arm over her sister in a endearing embrace. 

The smaller baby's heart rate stabilized 
and her temperature rose to normal.
