My miracle son

I have been though a lot in my life. Unknowingly when I thought I was alone God was there, Even in my worst of times.

 

I got married in 1998 at th age of 28. Became pregnant a few months later. On feb 3,1999, My life forever changed. I began to develope complications and I was dying. My doc told me I would have to have an emergency C-section to save me and my baby. Everyone around me was in a panic. My nurse told me you must be the strong one because you are so calm. Truly it was not the the situation I wanted to be in, but it was what it was. My family and were told I could die on the table and that premie boys are "weak".

 

I didn't make any deals with God. I just prayed that if it was my time to go and I didn't wake up that my family would be ok, that my baby would survive and thrive. I did tell God that if I woke up, that my life would forever change.

 

I had no fear and the docs and nurses ran around me sticking my viens with needles prepping me for surgery. I told God I trusted Him and put my life before Him in His hands. My life ran through my mind like a video tape playing in a VCR. I knew at that point I had done all that I could do in my life. The last thing I remember was getting stuck by a needle filled with something to knock me out, it burned and tears came to my eyes. My nurses words to me were I will be here through the surgery and I will be here when you wake up.

 

There are no words for me to say that could describe this. When I woke up 2 hours after, I was alive. My son 4-1/2pounds  was thriving and not the "weak" baby my doc said he would be. I was in Surgical ICU and didn't see him for 3 days. He was in the hospital for a total of 13 days.I went to the hospital everyday untill he was released. He is now 8 years old. He is 4' 11", weighs about 130 pounds and is the biggest kid in his class. So much for being "weak"! 

 

I am not perfect, I do fall down. I am learning daily how to be a better person, a bettter christian. I try to be a positive spirit. I talk about God, Jesus and the Bible any time I get a chance to anyone who wants to listen. I want to be a part of that line that proves God and His Son exist and don't have to be seen. I am proof of life, second chances, what ever you want to call it.

 

My LifeSong is that I was given an oportunity to show people that God/Jesus are there and there is always a better way to find happiness in life through Christ. I have been Blessed and continue to be Blessed everyday that I am able to spend my life with family and friends. I try to pass those blessing on to others by showing them they can have the happiness I have with the Grace of God.

I was so touched by your story..so inspiring and your faith and love to God were overflowing..you and your son deserve a new life because you had submitted your lives to him..

God has set us up to different stories or experiences for us to know how much He loves us and He hears whatever we are praying to him..just in His time..in his will...
