Baby Saved from New York Hotel Toilet

Housekeeper supervisor Cathy Masic is considered to have saved the life of a baby that a housekeeper had given birth to in a toilet of a hotel room in Niagara Falls Saturday morning.

Masic told the Buffalo News that the baby was not showing any signs of life when she found him, purple colored, lying on his side, in the guest room’s bathrooms.

After recovering from the shock, Masic wrapped the baby in some linens and cleared the baby’s nose and throat. Then she phoned for the paramedics, and, while waiting for them, she gave the baby mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, as taught by an emergency dispatcher on the phone.

When the paramedics arrived, the baby was taken to Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, where his condition was stabilized, then moved to Women and Children’s Hospital in Buffalo, the Buffalo News informs.

Stacy Lay, the hotel’s housekeeper who was supervised by Masic, had never told any of her colleagues that she was pregnant. She declared she had no idea about her condition. The woman was also taken to Niagara Falls Memorial, where she was treated.

The first thing that Lay did after giving birth to her baby, was to call her sister Robin, who was also working at the hotel. Robin told a supervisor, who immediately announced Masic.
