Swollen and tired Sickly and worn With a baby inside me There was something wrong The doctors did not listen To my complaints You're just with child These things happen sometimes At four months along I knew I almost lost you So I quit my job And slept the days through At six months along I knew it would be soon Everone thought I was crazy I prayed every day for you I told my husband then Military, and leaving for the field I'll need to get a hold of you When this baby comes Even he said "Don't worry, You'll be alright, But just in case something happens Here's the number for you to call" Within 24 hours I used that number Late on a Friday night You refused to slumber My neighbors were gone NO one was around I panicked and cried out 27 miles from the nearest town Finally, headlights My neighbor drove in I called her to come quickly She dropped the phone and ran They drove 90 miles an hour To the hospital In Fort Riley The nurses on duty Had little hope for your arrival But I held on to my faith Because all along A voice from the heavens Prepared me to be strong Even the doctors That came to my side I could see the remorse And doubt in their eyes Once again we were transported And flew like the wind To Topeka Kansas They had a prenatal clinic Your father was awakened In the middle of the field Asleep in a tent A cell phone was given Amazingly he knew That it was about you and me And made it to the hospital Still painted in camouflage green They gave me doses To keep you from coming But that only lasted two days Nothing would stop you Every breath that I took I took it for you In prayer and crying out For God to see me through Pain ripped through my body For eight hours or more I fought to hold out To bring you into this world Finally peace Enveloped me When you arrived And cried out to me You were 2 pounds 6 ounces With little trails of hair The size of my hand But I did not despair A miracle they cried The hopital staff Rushed to your side Amazed at your strength You were so willfull Even back then I thanked God for your existence I didn't do it by myself Even though you were tiny And in an incubator for two months You knew my voice You knew my touch I have a picture Of you, in your protected world On the side of the incubator A sign was taped on "God's tiniest little angel" A true child of the Lord For even the doctors Were at a loss for words I know there are angels Watching over me You are eleven years old now And stubborn as can be But for me, there is peace In my heart today Because of you, my darling They traveled a million miles away This is a true account of my daughter, who I carried for only 6 months. Her eyes were still sealed like a kittens. I had constant premonitions that she would be born early. Their was a long medical term for her condition, in which the doctors said I should have never carried her past 3 months along. They listed her birth as one of a kind with several anomalies. But she didn't even have to go a respirator. I told them "There are some things meant for you to do, and there are some things that only God can do"! They agreed. She is completely healthy and sound. She is beautiful! She is a miracle! She is my guardian angel in the flesh. And believe me she brought many spiritual ones with her. [This message has been edited by rwood (edited 03-26-2000).] |

This is so totally awesome! I'm blown away to say the least. What a miracle!! I can't thank you enough for sharing such a touching story with us. I have a picture I think would fit just perfect with this. As I saw it today and it's what I thought of when I read this. God bless you, He has already. If I can get the picture to work on here I'll put it up. |

A beautiful account of your feelings and the miracle. Dr. said I was destined for another miscarriage 4 mos. into my pregnancy with Wht.Dove, but she was just about full term. God will not be mocked, and often I think He makes everything look so predictable, then shocks us with a miracle to remind us to rely on Him not just history. |

Wow,REGINA, isn't it fanatastic how it works, God gave you your own precious little guardian angel to love& cherish, and you became the Faithful trusting god-mother(guardian angel Mom) that she needed to survive initially and to thrive now. What a wonderfully divine story of reciprical love between the 3 of you and how wonderfully touched and in touch your life has been! I am filled with awe and respect having read this most touching poetic account, adding yet anoyher wonderful dimension to Ellie's Great Challenge--I would rank this among the challenges met as SUPERB!!!! Thank you so much for sharing it with us, David |
