Gabriel Vazquez drew his first breaths Tuesday morning after a team of Hartford-area doctors - in the midst of delivering him by Caesarean section - used a rare procedure to bypass a cyst in his mouth that threatened to suffocate him.
Both Gabriel, at 7.5 pounds, and his mother, Margarita Vazquez, 38, of Hartford, were doing fine Tuesday night even though the mother, a Jehovah's Witness, refused a blood transfusion during the hourlong procedure.
Doctors at Hartford Hospital and the Connecticut Children's Medical Center said the procedure - known as EXIT or ex-utero, intrapartum therapy - is used to clear breathing obstructions before birth. Doctors said there are only about 12 references in medical literature to the procedure having been done previously.
The cyst, about 2-by-4 inches and located under the infant's tongue, was discovered a month ago after an ultrasound imaging test ordered by doctors because of Margarita Vazquez's gestational diabetes.
The cyst had pushed the baby's tongue back, making it unlikely he would have been able to breath after his umbilical cord, with its supply of oxygen from his mother, was cut.
"There is a good chance the baby would have died" if the cyst had not been discovered, said Dr. Deborah Feldman, member of the high-risk pregnancy division at Hartford Hospital.
For three weeks, a team of specialists planned the operation in which doctors would open the mother's uterus, pull out the baby's head and insert a breathing device down his windpipe. During the 40 to 60 minutes it took to complete the procedure, the baby would remain attached to the umbilical cord. Meanwhile, doctors from Hartford's Hospital's 5-year-old bloodless surgery center planned to take several unusual steps, including temporarily suturing Vazquez's uterus at the site of the Caesarian incision, to stem a potentially fatal flow of blood.
Margarita Vazquez, who had given birth to six other children without incident, had told doctors that under no circumstances would she permit a blood transfusion.
Doctors said the procedure was performed without a hitch. After Gabriel was taken from his mother and the umbilical cord cut at about 10 a.m., another set of doctors removed the cyst from his mouth.

One comment (no proof) has been that two main leaders among ex-JWs groups in California are actually pro-Watchtower moles which is why activities there are kept relatively quiet. On the other hand, anti-cult internet work by Randall Watters (freeminds.org) has been especially intensive and effective
