Family Shares Harrowing, Heartwarming Story After Delivering Son on Side of Road

 

Hudson Hayes made his grand debut into the world on Friday, and his parents say that he was a little too eager to join them.

The Hayes family says that they were headed east onto Route 72 on their way to Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin. Once Tim turned the car onto Randall Road, his wife Katie knew that the baby was on his way.

“My water broke,” she said. “I knew from there that we’re not gonna make it. We decided to keep going, and I figured we’d get as close as we can to the hospital.”

Tim and Katie say that they were not even a half-mile from the hospital’s main entrance, along Fox Lane, when things became much more urgent.

“We got to Fox, and his head’s out,” she said. “(I said) ‘I can’t do this anymore. I need help.’”

“Randall’s pretty busy, so I wasn’t going to cross traffic there,” Tim added. “So I put it in park, hopped up on the center console. I helped her with my hand behind his head, and my finger in his armpit and on his shoulder. She did all the work, a couple of pushes and I was able to pull him out.”
