SHENANDOAH, Iowa — (KETV) As sub-zero temperatures kept most people indoors last Friday, a woman from Shenandoah was making her way to the hospital anticipating the birth of her baby. KETV reports Krystal Gardner was due to have her baby, and Dr. Chase Brown knew his four-wheeler was the only way he’d make it to the hospital. He cleared snow drifts by hitting them at 20 miles per hour.
Dr. Brown wasn’t along, in fact the whole medical team braved the snow and cold to make sure the baby would be delivered. The baby arrived at around 8:30-a.m., Friday.The Gardners were blessed with a baby girl named Birkley.
At Tuesday’s check-up, Brown says she’s healthy as can be.
