We rejoice, together with the staff at God's Littlest Angels, for the miracle in a little baby's life. See below for a touching story from God's Littlest Angels.
I want to tell you all a little story about our premature baby Jonathon. On Tuesday night, my night staff stimulated him all night just to get him to breath. He was very critical and they were sure that he would not live the next day.
The next day when I sent out a prayer request for him, we were resuscitating him. He was not breathing at all on his own. His heart rate was irregular. He was at the point, that I truly did not think he would live. None of us did!
We put a call into his birth mother, who lives in our area, and asked her to please come and talk to us. She did not want to come because she thought he had already died. She did come and saw him and told us that surely he was dead. She told us that he was dark, he wasn't moving, and he wasn't breathing! By this time, we had been breathing for him for 2 hours!
I had come to my office and I had been Emailing back and forth with a nurse practitioner in the States. (An adoptive mother) She was giving us suggestions about what to do but we did not have everything we needed. Many of the medications she suggested, we just did not have.
Susan, a nurse from Scotland, was sad because she thought he would live since his brother had died. God will allow him to live!
I told her and Mme Bernard to stop resuscitation when they felt like it wasn't doing any good and I came downstairs and sat in front of my computer and prayed for a miracle. I also had told his mother before left that only God could save Jonathon and she needed to pray for a miracle! In her mind, he was gone. God was not going to bring him back.
As I sat here, I was desperate to do something even if it did not save him, what could I do? Then I truly believe that God put into my head the drug Aminophyllin! I did not have Caffeine or Theophyllin, but I did have a drug in the Theophyllin family and what could it hurt to try this?
I went upstairs and was reading the dosage and getting the medicine ready and Mme Bernard came and told me they had stopped CPR on him. I finished getting the medication drawn up and went into the NICU and Susan was holding him and I said let us try this medicine before we give up! Right then, he made a noise! I injected the medicine and told the staff that if he did not respond, then we would quit.
Three minutes later, he took a breath and kept on breathing! His heart rate went up and he started moving his arms and legs. A few minutes after that he opened his eyes!!!
Today, Jonathon is ALIVE and stable! Thank you God for a miracle! His birth mother had to be forced to come back and was ecstatic! She could not believe it. But we know that with God all things are possible!
I told the mother that families in France, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, Canada, and the USA were praying for a miracle for Jonathon and God heard those prayers and gave us a Miracle!
