I was in coma for 2 weeks following your birth feeding through a pipe coz I wasn’t awake so I was surviving on fluids , they told my family that I might not make it out Alive and my chances of survival was 50/50 , Denzel was in the Nicu fighting for his life and stayed in the Nicu for 4 months , I was on ECMO life support machine and VENTILATOR ( 2 life support machines fighting for my life ).
2 weeks later , I miraculously got up from coma, they told me my son was Alive , I couldn’t believe it, I had Denzel at home and I had him all by myself before 911 emergency arrived I was already out of life Cos I contacted Covid and as a pregnant woman I was high risk , but Mercy said No .
Doctor said Denzel won’t be able to walk meaning my son would be a crippled child , I said “my Son will Walk coz I believe the report of the lord who made heaven and earth “. look At Denzel today , a strong , smart boy ready to conquer the world . I give God the glory for keeping us alive to see this day .
