NANCY NEEDHAM/Acorn Newspapers A HEALTHY BABY NOW—Being surrounded by firefighters at a party held in his honor provides comfort to 2-month-old Ryland Garza. The baby stopped breathing when he was 2 days old, and his parents, grandmother and a team of firefighters worked together to save his life. Now he appears to be thoughtfully aware of his surroundings. He's also starting to smile. "Not breathing and no pulse does not have to mean death. Life is not always over when it looks like it's over," said nurse Katy Hadduck of the Ventura County Fire Department. 007p1_xlg.jpg
