MIRACLE! (please read previous post first)

Miguel and God decided he NO longer would like a breathing tube and he pulled it out with a quick jerk of his head. So.....we prepared. His heart rate went down to 60 and his oxygen level down to 50s-60s. This was the end. Sandy was present and we had all just had a long talk about what to "do". There are so many issues down here. He was not doing well. We found blood in his stomach and stool. He was not improving. Then you have to think about the family. They walked 6 hours from the mountains to get him help. They left their 3 other children at their home in the care of their pastor. If he dies, he must be burried in 24 hours. They would have to walk home with a dead baby, possibly in the middle of the night or maybe he heals but has subsequent disabilities from his low oxygen levels durring his illness. Lots of things to consider when choosing what to do. So, we called his pediatrician to come. We sent Penny to locate the Miguels dad. Sandy ventalated him with a bag and mask to try to keep him alive until the father arrived and we could speak to the parents together. We all cried and began saying our goodbyes to our sweet Angel. Then, the miracle. With the baby in dads arms supported only with an oxygen mask....He kept his pulse and oxygen levels up at normal. We were waiting for him to fall into the arms of his Loving Creator, whom he belongs to anyway....but he kept breathing..his oxygen level stayed up...his cheeks stayed pink and we all stood in amazement. MIRACLE - in front of our own eyes! Now, as I write this (actually I wrote this at 8ish this am), Miguel Angel is in the arms of his mother (something that has not happened for 6 days) and in the hands of his heavenly Father (something he has enjoyed since his life began). We wait. Will this miracle last another hour, day or lifetime? is he still here so his momma can hug and kiss him and say goodbye in a beautiful calm way? is he here because the Lord has big plans for him? we do not know nor do we pretend we have the answers. It is just a miraculous reminder the God is in control, not us. We get to participate in his story however. It is sometimes sad, sometimes happy, always miraculous.
God Bless you all
