True Guardian Angel Story shared by Kathy
With this coincidental opportunity, I feel it is time to share one of the most miraculous events of my life.
My name is Kathy and it was 20 years ago when I delivered my daughter Kristian Elise. The name Elise had already been given, but the Kristian was chosen due to her early arrival.
You see, I did not carry her full term, only 26 weeks. Needless to say, my precious daughter chances of surviving were limited. The Dr. said 20% chance with complications such as Downs, blindness, palsy, etc.
At only 1 lb. and 9 oz. I heard only a faint, short lived cry when she passed through the portals of my girth. Strangely enough, I looked around and took note of all the prayers of medical staff cloaked in white.
It seemed there were close to ten people cramped in that hospital room, but more impressive were the prayers I could read on their faces.
With one tiny whimper Kristian Elise changed from the Drs.' hands to another man in a white coat. My baby left me, being wheeled away in a rolling incubator.
She stayed in NICU for a while with all types of complications, but there is only this one particular night I choose to share with you.
I had been asked to return to the hospital for nesting purposes; assigned a room about 5 doors down from NICU. It was the wee hours of the a.m. when during a most peaceful sleep appeared this dainty figure of a child.
She looked to be between 4-6 years of age. As I gazed at her standing at the foot of my bed, I had such warm and restful thoughts.
However I was quickly awoken by Dr. Wong who told me about my daughter's critical condition. Kristian's aveoli had bursted in her chest cavity for a second time. The tiny balloons in her lungs had been surgically mended one then twice but I was reminded if this happened again the stress on her fragile body would be too much for her to bare.
After the Dr. left I went back to sleep. My worries and anxieties only subdued by the vision of that precious child in my dream that stood at the foot of my bed watching over me.
Was she an angel sent to me? I can not say for sure, but she surely played a part in divine intervention.
A little while later, I told only the closest people to me about this heart warming image of the little girl. I gave as many details as I could recall. I had this off the wall feeling, Elise may grow to look like gentle
child. Needless to say as she approached that certain age the resemblance was striking.
And as for Kristian Elise now- she is healthy, beautiful, articulate, and has a very sweet spirit.
I love her so much. I hope this story does something help you in your faith walk. It felt good to share. Good bless you.
