10-Year-Old Girl Named Miracle Performs 'Miracle' & Helps Deliver Her Baby Sister at Home

No matter the mother's plans, when a baby is ready to come, it's coming. And sometimes, that isn't in a hospital. Spontaneous labor can come on anywhere and can sometimes be quite a speedy process. A Missouri mom began to labor in her home last month, and before she knew it, it was time to push.

Her 10-year-old daughter, Miracle, had to help deliver her little sister at home. The whole experience was a whirlwind, but mom and both her daughters are doing great.

The fourth grader called 911.

According to Today, 30-year-old Viola Fair of Jennings, Missouri, began experiencing signs of labor three weeks early on October 22, and things progressed quickly. Her daughter, fourth grader Miracle Moore, jumped into action and dialed 911. Dispatcher Scott Stranghoener received that call and talked Miracle through the stressful situation.

"Hi, I think my mom is in labor," Miracle told Stranghoener in a recorded 911 call. Their conversation lasted nearly 11 minutes.

An ambulance was on its way, but so was the baby.

Miracle calmly began to relay instructions from Stranghoener to her mom, who was crying out in pain. She told her not to sit on the toilet and to get in the center of the bed or lie on the floor.

Fair had trouble lying down, so Stranghowner told Miracle to bring blankets and pillows and put them on the floor for her, according to Today. She also unlocked the door so emergency responders could enter the home when they arrived.

Talk to moms about mom stuff. And make money doing it.

Stranghoener helped Miracle through the entire process.

He realized that the situation was pretty intense, and he wanted to be sure that he kept young Miracle calm. On the recording, you can hear Miracle yelling, "She's coming! She's coming!" She tells her mother to lie down and announces, "She's here! ... Her head is here."

Stranghoener told Miracle that he would help her deliver the baby, and she replied, "Huh?" Then the child joyfully announced, "She's out!"

"I learned pretty quick that we had a serious situation. We have a set of protocols that we follow, and she followed all of my instructions to a 'T' and did an amazing job," Stranghoener told KSDK. "A few minutes later, we had another baby girl in the house."

Miracle took care of her mom and sister until EMS arrived.

Miracle listened to Stranghoener, who helped her care for her brand-new baby sister, Jayla. She paid attention and sweetly wiped the baby's mouth and nose and checked to ensure that the umbilical cord was not wrapped around her neck.

"Be very careful. Don't drop the baby, OK?" Stranghoener told her.

When EMS arrived, Miracle sent them to her mother's room. Stranghoener told her she did a "very good job."

Miracle received two awards for her bravery.

North County Fire & Rescue honored the 10-year-old for jumping into action and helping her mom.

"Tonight we celebrated our local HERO! She earned a special certificate and a personalized shirt from CCE911, a pink stork pin (that EMS providers typically receive after delivering a baby in the field) and another special certificate from CHEMS, and from NCFR she received a tablet loaded with educational games and a special journal to document all the amazing things she has done and will do!," the organization announced on Facebook.

Baby Jayla also received gifts, as did middle sister Taylor. The three sisters are now enjoying time together.

Congratulations, Miracle. You helped perform a miracle just in time for the holidays. Your family has so much to be thankful for this year.
