Mom Names First Responders Who Saved Her Premature Baby As Godparents

And as Good Morning America reported, this would turn out to be a problem as she suddenly went into labor while only 25 weeks pregnant.

This prompted her to call 911, but she would have already given birth to her daughter Za'myla by the time anyone arrived.

Firefighter Cody Hill was the first on the scene and later described the one-pound baby as the smallest he had ever seen.

And while he expected the worst, he and his colleagues noticed that Za'myla was still breathing. To ensure she stayed that way, he turned up the house's heat to its maximum before administering CPR with a bag valve mask while his team attended to Garrett.

As soon as an ambulance arrived, Hill rushed into the back and he and paramedic Jamie Roan (pictured left holding Za'myla) continued their efforts to stabilize the baby.

Both encouraged the child to keep fighting all the way to the hospital and when they arrived, both stayed by her side until they had confirmation she was stable.

The only exception was the moment Roan took to rush outside and show Garrett pictures indicating that her baby was still alive after the ambulance carrying her pulled up.

And all the while, Hill and Roan raised enough donations of gas cards and baby supplies for the Garrett family to fill two ambulances. The Columbia Fire & Rescue department also pitched in for a car seat they installed in the Garretts' vehicle.

Moved by the duo's role in saving her daughter's life and supporting her family, Garrett would name Hill and Roan Za'myla's godparents by March of this year.

In her words, "All I can say is thank you a million times because they are a blessing God has sent."
