Story #14

When my husband and I got pregnant with our first daughter we were elated! However 4 months into the pregnancy I began to have problems with amniotic fluid leakage. On Fathers Day of 1998, we were sitting in a hospital room and were told by the doctor that because of how much fluid I had lost and how weak the babies heartbeat was that I would more than likely lose her before the end of the day. I remember being completely consumed with anger, not at God or at the situation but at the devil. I mean, How dare he try to take our baby away from us. I grabbed my husbands hand and we both prayed for the health and safety of our baby, and told the devil to take his hands off of us. When I was finally taken down to ultrasound the technician was amazed to see that not only had the hole in my amniotic sac sealed up, but that the fluid levels had been restored to normal, and the baby’s heartbeat was once again healthy and strong. Several months later I gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
