Desperate Measures

   A time when someone I know had been stuck in an unfixable situation and had to try desperate measures was when my mom's friend had been on a plane and she had to give birth. She has been going on a trip to Costa Rica with her husband and she did not expect to give birth for another month, so imagine her shock when her water broke while more than a thousand feet in the air! When it happened they still had four more hours to go on the plan and she could not stop the baby from coming. She had dilated quickly and her husband knew they could not hold off, so everyone on the plane, besides the pilots of course, helped her push her baby boy out. Once they landed her husband and her got a cab and drove as fast as they could to the nearest hospital. They would have stayed and enjoyed their vacation but they could not because they did not have the things they needed for the baby. Also, they had to take the baby home to meet the family, so as soon as it was safe for their family to fly, they got on the earliest flight home to introduce the new addition of their family to everyone. When I heard this story I could not contain my shock, or my laughter, it was just so unbelievable!
