In July 2020 my niece, Kathryn, was 8 months pregnant. One morning she woke up and wasn’t feeling well. She phoned her husband and told him & he said that he’d meet her at the hospital. When she got to the hospital she was put on a fetal monitor. Everything at first seemed normal. Within 30 minutes the baby’s heartbeat plummeted. She was ran down in a wheelchair with the RN, screaming, “code blue” within 6 minutes the baby was delivered with no fetal heartbeat. The neonatal doctor tried twice to restart the heart. Then on the third try it began to beat. The baby girl was put on a cooling blanket to put her into hypothermia. She was that way for 2 weeks. On the third week they slowly raised the temperature. Slowly little baby Violet started to move. Over the next week she moved more and more. And even cried! Violet was allowed to start drinking Kathryn’s milk. There was a huge worry over motor neurological damage. But there didn’t seem to be any. There was worry over blindness and deafness, but that was normal, too. The last huge worry was cognitive impairment. Over the last year and 1/2 Violet has shown that she’s hitting all her milestones. If this isn’t a miracle. There are no miracles! I have thanked & prayed to HaShem everyday for our beautiful little miracle!! I’m grateful for Western Wall Prayers for putting my (our) prayer at the wall!! Thank you so very much.
