Here’s a cleaner copy for Rick…

 

Parson…

 

 

 

 

Like any good mother, when Karen found out that

another baby was on the way, she did what she could to

help her 3-year-old son, Michael, prepare for

a new sibling. They found out that the new baby was

going be a girl, and day after day, night after night,

Michael sang to his sister in Mommy's tummy.

He was building a bond of love with his little sister

before he even met her.

The pregnancy progressed normally for Karen. In time,!

the labor pains came. Soon it was every five minutes,

every three, every minute. But

serious complications arose during delivery and Karen

found herself in hours of labor. Would a C-section be

required?

Finally, after a long struggle, Michael's little

sister was born. But she was in very serious

condition. With a siren howling in the night, the

ambulance rushed the

infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at

St.Mary's Hospital,Knoxville,Tennessee. The days

inched by. The little girl got worse. The

pediatrician had to tell the parents there is very

> > > > > little hope. Be prepared for th! e worst. Karen and her

husband contacted a local cemetery about a burial

plot. They had fixed up a special room in their house

for their new baby but now they found themselves

having to plan for a funeral. Michael, however, kept

begging his parents to let him see his sister. I want

to sing to her, he kept saying. Week two in intensive

care looked as if a funeral would come before the week

was over.

Michael kept nagging about singing to his sister,

but kids are never allowed in Intensive Care.

Karen decided to take Michael whether they liked

it or not. If he didn't see his sister right the! n,

he may never see her alive. She dressed him in an

oversized scrub suit and marched him into ICU. He

looked like a walking laundry basket.The head nurse

recognized him as a child and bellowed, "Get that kid

out of here now. No children are allowed."

The mother rose up strong in Karen, and the usually

mild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed right into the

head nurse's face, her lips a firm line."He is not

leaving until he sings to his sister" she stated. Then

Karen towed Michael to his sister's bedside. He gazed

at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. After a

moment, he began to sing.! In the pure-hearted voice of a

3-year-old,Michael sang: "You are my sunshine,my

only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray."

Instantly the baby girl seemed to respond. The pulse

rate began to calm down and become steady.

Keep on singing, Michael," encouraged Karen with tears

in her eyes. "You never know, dear, how much I love

you, please don't take my sunshine away." As Michael

sang to his sister, the baby's ragged, strained

breathing became as smooth as a kitten's purr.

"Keep on singing, sweetheart."

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I

held you in my arms". Michael's little sister began to

relax as rest, healing rest, seemed to sweep over her.

"Keep on singing, Michael." Tears had now conquered

the face of the bossy head nurse. Karen glowed.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. Please don't

take my sunshine away..."

The next, day...the very next day...the little girl

was well enough to go home. Woman's Day Magazine

called it The Miracle of a Brother's Song. The medical

staff just called it a miracle. Karen called it a

miracle of God's love.

NEVER GIVE UP ON THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE. LOVE IS SO

INCREDIBLY POWERFUL.

Life is good. Have a Wonderful Day!

Just send this to (4) people and see what happens on

the fourth day. Do not break this, please. There is no

cost, but lots of rewards.

I know this has a lot of forwards to it but it is very worth the effort. So

real challengge is to be able to finish reading the story. If this one
