This is great news. Keep those prayers coming. This family needs them.
The Blaze reports:
When doctors told Rep. Jamie Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) that her unborn child was suffering from a normally fatal kidney condition, she was also advised that abortion was one of her options.
However, the pro-life Republican refused to abort her child.
On Monday, Beutler announced that she had given birth to a baby girl, who she called a “miracle.”
She first learned that her unborn child was suffering from Potter’s Syndrome, a usually fatal condition that affects kidney development during pregnancy, earlier this year. Beutler’s office announced in a statement that the baby, Abigail, “is considered by her doctors to likely be the first baby to survive a diagnosis previously considered fatal.”
According to the Washington Examiner’s Tim Mak, the “child is currently stable, but required immediate dialysis due to a lack of functioning kidneys.”
“The options we were offered were termination or ‘expectant management,’ that is, waiting for [the baby] to die. Instead, we chose to pray earnestly for a miracle. She is every bit a miracle,” the GOP congresswoman and her husband said in a statement.
I wonder how many babies were aborted that might have lived after this diagnosis.

THE
LOAF
OF
BREAD
Every work of God…
With it, something brings.
On humid hot-days clouds
Let go their rain-drop pings.
'Fore lady lightening strikes
She warns us with her thunders
To shelter kith and kin
As lightening sometimes blunders.
And crusty creeks bring rocks
And all the rocks bring slime
Where little boys explore
To slip on rocks they climb.
And under babies' arms
New lives bring loaves of bread.
Holy Mother brings Our Lord
Blood-sacrificed un-red
To feed the soul which brings our flesh
To earth then hopefully Heaven
The priest, the rock, the Church, the flock,
The sanctus sacrificium et seven.
Enjoy your new baby's life with a loaf of bread and a big bottle of wine! (Mother of 10)

When did doctors start giving up on care before they even try?

WHERE did that poem come from? We have often told people "every baby brings a loaf of bread" when they ask us how we afford our 11 children! I never knew there was a whole poem!
