Tom says that Virginia’s prayers renewed his strength to keep going. With her first prayer, he said he could feel the infant respond to his CPR.
Before Virginia and Tom were able to do their part in the rescue, it was Cory Prox—a father of five himself—who found the strength to pry open the doors of the truck.

Each of the good samaritans played a vital part in the survival of the Ocheltree family. But ultimately, we believe it was the protection of Jesus Christ that allowed them the supernatural strength to save those babies.
The Ocheltree family has been inundated with prayers and well-wishes. Marshal was released from the hospital on Monday morning. Addy is still recovering, but she’s breathing on her own and has remained in stable condition.
A Donation Page has been set up to help the family with medical costs and recuperation.
