COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A Colorado woman who was struck by lightning last summer when she was three months pregnant has given birth to a healthy baby girl.
Stephanie Alberti, of Colorado Springs, was one of five people hit by a bolt while cheering for her husband at a stock car race.
Alberti was temporarily paralyzed and worried about her baby throughout the pregnancy. She says the family was relieved when Sophia was born, weighing 6 1/2 pounds. Her umbilical cord was wrapped around her tiny body, but it didn't create any complications.
There's not a lot to say except wow, and I hope this family regularly buys lottery tickets. A child in the core of a shocked torso, in a fluid sac no less, is a miracle. I'd have been worried every single day. That woman knows relief like few of us ever will.
