“I said to myself I’m not going to waste my energy – I’m going to scream when it’s needed, when I hear voices or steps nearby,” she said.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know how I kept so calm because my left leg was trapped under concrete. I couldn’t move. My temple was pressed against a rock.”<\/p>\n
Dayana said she found hope when she felt a bible beneath her.<\/p>\n
“There began my journey of survival,” she said.<\/p>\n
In the darkness of the rubble, she could see a “pinprick of light that looked like the moon”.<\/p>\n
She said her rescue came after she heard her brother calling her name.<\/p>\n
“I said to myself, this is my only chance. From the top of my lungs I cried out\u2026 I screamed ‘Here I am’ with all my might, and he said ‘I found you, and I promise you that I won’t leave until I get you out’.”<\/p>\n
He kept that promise, and a delicate rescue operation followed to bring both mother and baby out of the rubble on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Dayana suffered injuries to both of her legs when the earthquake hit while Juan fortunately only sustained minor injuries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
