“Big 4, Happy birthday Denzel, my baby 💓,the one after my heart ❤️.
I finally have the Courage to tell your story, to give people hope.
On this day 4 years ago you came into this world at 6 months, (27 weeks),weighed only 2 pounds,
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.
Be nice and kind to people always because you don’t know what they are going through.”
