This is an amazing story of a baby boy who almost lost his life, but God intervened at the right time.
Praise Jesus! My name is Pearl Abanaitwe, and I am here to share the miraculous story of God’s goodness in our lives. God has healed both me and my son in ways that I never thought possible.
During my complicated pregnancy, a routine checkup revealed that I had high blood pressure. Because of this, I was told I needed to deliver my baby early, at just seven months. Terrified, I underwent a C-section. Thanks to God’s grace, the procedure was successful. However, my baby weighed only 1.2 kg, had difficulty breathing, developed sepsis, struggled to pass stool, and was anemic. He was immediately taken to the NICU, and every time we were close to being discharged, his condition worsened.
One morning, after putting him to sleep, I found him cold and struggling to breathe. Panicked, I called the doctor on duty, who told me my baby was in critical condition and needed to be rushed back to the ICU. There, I watched in horror as his skin turned greyish. At that moment, I realized I needed to turn to God.
The doctors suspected he had a heart problem and needed an echocardiogram. They also found a hernia that required surgery. I paid for the scan and, on Sunday, attended prayers with Bro. Ronnie Makabai. He prayed over me, declaring, “Every calamity that the enemy has assigned against you has been swept away.”
On Monday, I returned to the NICU, where they were preparing to take my baby for an echocardiogram. To my amazement, the doctor informed me that my baby had no heart problem, and the hernia swelling had disappeared, eliminating the need for surgery. They told me my baby was improving rapidly and that we would soon be discharged.
Indeed, we were discharged shortly after, and since then, my baby has shown no complications. He has grown well and is now 1½ years old. I am endlessly grateful to God for His healing power and to those who prayed tirelessly for us.
