Oh No, Not MY Baby! Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving during the difficult time of child bearing

I was fearful when I learned that my two-days-old baby was in need of major surgery for an obstructive bowel. Despite the issues I had to face with the pregnancy, everything seemed normal up to the time my water broke and the baby decided to turn out of position. The life and death situation was frightening, especially when the doctors told me that they could not do anything for me when the baby was lying across my belly. I had to put my faith into action and believed God for myself because I wasn't about to give up and allow the gift that He had given me to be taken away.
