Germantown, Wis. (CBS 58) – A Germantown police officer is being praised for helping give birth to a baby boy.
There was no time to go to the hospital this week when a Germantown mom suffered an at-home labor. Police reached there on time.
Officer Justin Pesch, with a job of six years, pulled over. He says that as soon as he got out of his squad, he heard a woman scream. Exactly three minutes later, as soon as he entered the house, Baby Mason came out. The joyful reunion of this young family after just five days, was a shocking experience.
Mason’s mother Christine Rukis said, “I tell everyone I’ve gone into code mode, that’s what I want. I want towels. I need someone here and I need some help.”
Christine Rukis, an NICU nurse, was on her bathroom floor — on the phone with her husband, Alex Dispatch.
Dispatch: “If the baby’s head starts to come out, I want you to put one hand under the baby’s head so that the baby comes out. OK?
Caller: “Okay.” (shouts)
With his wife in extreme pain, Alex Rukis tries to keep it together, terrified of what might go wrong at this moment for his young family, which includes two other boys, Connor and Dillon. .
Mason’s dad Alex Rukis said, “a little nervous, scared, scared, worried, like thinking about him, thinks through all the scenarios.”
Astonishingly, the officer Peshawar was only a short distance away and ran.
Germantown police officer Justin Pesh said: “When I was driving there they said the baby was coming so I was a little nervous.”
But the veins didn’t show up, and it was helpful for the couple in their time of need.
Christine Rukis said, “I will never know if she hadn’t given birth to the first child, how calm she was, she was able to calm us down.”
Caller: “Keep pushing, okay.”
Dispatch: “Okay Alex, is the baby coming?”
“His head was out in the first push and his body was out in the second and it was the fastest delivery ever,” said Christine Rukis.
“Definitely a crazy experience and he was very, very cute,” said the officer.
Christine Rukis said, “The delivery on my bathroom floor had no idea of the right delivery for me in any way shape or form. She just had to make sure everyone knew she existed so she had a blast.” Had to come along.”
After delivery at home, Baby Mason and her mother took an ambulance down to Froedert, where they heard the happy ending, that Baby Mason was six pounds and eight ounces healthy.
