40、mergency cesarean to deliver the couples new daughter, Danae Lu Blessing. At 12 inches long and weighing only one pound and nine ounces, they already knew she was perilously premature. Still, the doctors soft words dropped like bombs. “I dont think shes going to make it,“ he said, as kindly as he co
41、uld. “Theres only a 10-percent chance she will live through the night, and even then, if by some slim chance she does make it, her future could be a very cruel one.“ Numb with disbelief, David and Diana listened as the doctor described the devastating problems Danae would likely face if she survived
42、. She would never walk. She would never talk. She would probably be blind. She would certainly be prone to other catastrophic conditions from cerebral palsy to complete mental retardation and on and on. “No! No!“ was all Diana could say. She and David, with their 5-year-old son Dustin, had long drea
43、med of the day they would have a daughter to become a family of four. Now, within a matter of hours, that dream was slipping away.

I said, “No, that is not going to happen, no way! I dont care what the doctors say Danae is
46、 not going to die! One day she will be just fine, and she will be coming home with us!“ As if willed to live by Dianas determination, Danae clung to life hour after hour, with the help of every medical machine and marvel her miniature body could endure. But as those first days passed, a new agony se
47、t in for David and Diana. Because Danaes underdeveloped nervous system was essentially “raw,“ every lightest kiss or caress only intensified her discomfort so they couldnt even cradle their tiny baby girl against then-chests to offer the strength of their love. All they could do, as Danae struggled
48、alone beneath the ultra-violet light in the tangle of tubes and wires, was to pray mat God would stay close to their precious little girl. There was never a moment when Danae suddenly grew stronger. But as weeks went by, she did slowly gain an ounce of weight here and an ounce of strength there. At
49、last, when Danae turned two months old, her parents were able to hold her in their arms for the very first time. And two months later though doctors continued to gently but grimly warn that her chances of surviving, much less living any kind of normal life, were next to zero Danae went home from the hospital, just as her mother had predicted. Today, five years later, Danae is a petite but feisty young girl with glittering gray e
