Her Parents and Doctors
Were Ready to Give Up…but Her Brother Wanted to Sing a Song
A must read for all Christians, Mothers and
anyone who is hoping for a miracle
Walk with me
Like any good mother, when Kate found out that
another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her 3-year-old
son,Victor, prepare for a new sibling.
They found out that the new baby was going to
be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Victor sang to his little
sister in Mommy’s tummy.
He was building a bond of love with his little
sister before he even met her. The pregnancy progressed normally for Kate.
In time, the labor pains came. Soon it was
every five minutes, every three, every minute. But serious complications arose
during delivery and Kate found herself in hours of labor.
Would a C-section be required? Finally, after
a long struggle, Victor’s little sister was born. But she was in very serious
condition.
She might not make it alive!
With a siren howling in the night, the
ambulance rushed the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Mary’s
Hospital, Knoxville, Tennessee.
The days inched by. The little girl got worse.
The pediatric specialist regretfully had to tell the parents, “There is very
little hope. Be prepared for the worst.”
Kate and her husband
contacted a local cemetery about a burial plot. They had fixed up a special
room in their home for the new baby, but now they found themselves having to
plan for a funeral.
Victor, however, kept begging his parents to
let him see his sister. “I want to sing to her,” he kept saying.
Week two in intensive care looked as if a
funeral would come before the week was over.Victor kept nagging about singing
to his sister, but kids are never allowed in the Intensive Care Unit.
Kate made up her mind, though. She would take
Victor whether they liked it or not! If he didn’t see his sister right then, he
may never see her alive.
She dressed him in an oversized scrub suit and
marched him into ICU. He looked like a walking laundry basket, but the head
nurse recognized him as a child and bellowed
“Get that kid our of here,
now!
NO children are allowed.” The mother rose up
strong in Kate, and the usually mild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed right into
the head nurse’s face, her lips a firm line. “Victor is not leaving until he
sings to his sister.”
The Head Nurse obliged Kate
Karen towed Victor to his sister’s bedside. He
gazed at the tiny infant losing the battle to live.
After a moment, he began to sing. In the pure
hearted voice of a 3 year old, Victor sang:
“You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray.”
Instantly the baby girl
seemed to respond. Her pulse rate began to calm down and become steady. “Keep
on singing Victor,” encouraged Kate with tears in her eyes.
Victor continued singing
“You’ll never know, dear,
how much I love you.
Please don’t take my sunshine away.”
As Victor sang to his
sister, the baby’s ragged, strained breathing became as smooth as a kitten’s
purr.
“Keep on singing,
sweetheart!” Kate cried....
“The other night, dear,
as I lay sleeping,
I dreamed I held you in my hands…”
Victor's little sister
began to relax and rest. A healing rest seemed to sweep over her.
“Keep on singing, Victor”
Tears had now conquered the
face of the bossy head nurse.
Kate glowed.
“You are my sunshine
my only sunshine
Please don’t take my sunshine away…”
The next, day … the very
next day … the little girl was well enough to go home!
It was a miracle, God used Victor.
I don't know what you are hoping on God for,
but before the end of the year, God will answer all your prayers.
