The love a mother has for her kid is quite unusual. It is fearless, ferocious, and limitless. A mother is willing to go to great lengths to protect her child’s safety. Today’s story is about one pregnant woman who was unfortunately confirmed brain-dead just months before her due date, and everyone was worried about the baby.
Sandra was the type of person who was willing to give up everything for her children, but she had no idea that her decision would split her family apart. Sandra and her husband, Mel, led a lovely and uncomplicated marriage. They even had a child, and their relationship was joyful because they respected and endured each other’s vices. Nevertheless, while Mel thought he knew his wife too well, she was concealing a dark secret…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
Sandra, you see, had a scar on her stomach. Mel, on the other hand, assumed it was linked to previous kidney difficulties. Little did he know, there was more to the story. Unfortunately, he only discovered the harsh reality when it was too late.
Sandra became pregnant for the second time when their son turned eight. The family was overjoyed, as expected. Sadly though, this joy would not last long. His wife was not feeling well during her pregnancy, so she went to the hospital for several tests. Her life, as well as the lives of everyone she cared about, began to shatter right there.
Because this woman’s health history was a roller coaster—she had battled pneumonia, heart disease, and kidney cancer, among other things—Sandra was terrified and couldn’t believe the results were hers. Her kidney cancer had returned, and she was in severe condition according to the test. Sandra became out of breath from fright. She overheard the doctor urging her to terminate the pregnancy since it was in her best interests. She didn’t know what to say to Mel, so she walked away without saying anything.
Her head was filled with different thoughts. What would happen to her unborn child? Despite her anxieties, she stared intently at her stomach and saw a reason to continue. So, she made up her mind to make any sacrifice for the baby. But she also made a significant error that day—Sandra kept her anxiety hidden from everyone, including her husband. As the pregnancy proceeded, she did her best to carry on, until the truth was forced out one sad morning.
Sandra and Mel had invited guests around for dinner the night before the terrible morning. It was a date night, so everyone was dressed to impress. Besides, that night was also the first time they had ever gone on a date. They sat around the table after dinner, enjoying lovely chats and playing cards. When they went home, Mel noticed a peculiar noise emanating from the restroom a few moments after Sandra had left. He hurried there, startled, and was struck with a sight that devastated his heart in ways that words cannot describe.
Sandra was bathed in tears and lying flat on the restroom floor. What do you guys think he saw? She appeared weak and continued to writhe in agony, telling her husband that she didn’t feel good while grasping her head. Her only thought was of the baby in her womb. So immediately, Mel wrapped a wet towel around her head and dialed 911. He didn’t take his eyes away from his wife for a second while waiting for the paramedics to arrive. He even continued to communicate with her. Sandra was virtually unconscious when the paramedics came, so they rushed straight to the hospital. Once there, the doctors determined, after conducting a number of tests, that she was, in fact, brain-dead. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
Mel’s world came to an abrupt stop after learning of his wife’s misery. Nothing the physicians or his family said could make him feel better. He feared he’d lost everything, including his wife and the unborn child inside her. Sandra’s family began making funeral plans just hours after she was certified brain-dead. The doctors also planned to remove her from the ventilator the next day. They had even given up hope for the unborn child.
The next morning, however, whatever the doctors did changed the direction of the story. They performed some tests on the unborn child that day, and the physicians couldn’t stop shouting when the results came back. A heartbeat was detected during the testing, and the boy had actually survived. Both Mel and the doctors were astonished by the exciting news. The unborn youngster was only 17 weeks old at the time, with around four months to go until birth. It was a long shot up until that point, and Mel wasn’t sure the boy would make it this far. Even the doctors had doubts, so they sang soothing melodies to the infant every day through his mother’s womb. They even gave him a hug.
Mel’s wait was one of the most trying times of his life. He would even turn off his phone whenever he didn’t want to receive calls from the hospital. Shortly after, the doctor felt it was time to deliver the boy in the 37th week, while Mel stood outside the operating room, waiting for word on the delivery. After the surgery, the surgeon emerged and informed Mel that he had become a father. Mel was so happy and surprised and could not believe that such a miracle could occur to him.
However, Mel was not allowed to touch the boy for the following four weeks, as he was still in an incubator. Unfortunately, a conflict that Mel had not anticipated erupted just days after Lorenzo’s birth. His parents-in-law requested full custody, claiming that Mel couldn’t raise him on his own. Despite the fact that he wasn’t sure he’d have enough time to care for the boy, he was prepared to do whatever he could to make it work. Fortunately, Mel was granted paternity leave, allowing him to care for his newborn son.
Mel also made peace with Sandra’s family, rather than allowing issues to linger. Mel later learned that his wife had renal cancer. He was surprised because he had been unaware of it, but he respected her decision as well. Lorenzo is currently being lavished with love and care by his father, aunts, and grandparents.
So this is the end of the story. What are your thoughts about it?
