I was born on the 26th August 2019 , although I was born at 36 weeks and 5 days old and was initially intubated for three hours, I was doing well and extubated afterwards,  and looking forward to going home. However, a few days after my birth, I began to struggle with my breathing. I was supported with oxygen and later put in a ventilator.

My family was in shock at what was going on, as the medical team tried to understand the change in my health circumstances and wellbeing.  Both my family and medical staff sought answers by carrying out various tests to try and make me better.

Days turned into weeks and weeks rolled into months.  One day, my parents got called in by medical team to be told that all efforts had been exhausted and that, they were sorry there was nothing more that could be done for me. I heard my mum’s cries, I felt her pains ,I felt my dad’s tears and heard my big brother and sister’s sweet prayerful voice every morning, through phone calls and every evening by my bed side. Within all these pains and confusion, my Mum and Dad still held on to hope and their faith as they prayed for a beautiful miracle.  Their faith in God became their only hope.

I am a Beautiful Miracle.

My  parents after getting this disheartening news, together with siblings, relatives and friends they searched both the physical and spiritual realm, God,  for answers, whilst the medical team searched through medical literature,  and platforms for answers.  I later got baptised in hospital.  Two days after my baptism, to show what I was made of, the strength God bestowed on me, I pulled my ventilating tube out and began to breathe on my own without the aid of a ventilator, just for 22 hours!
