The Miracle of Birth

ak. A beautiful baby boy was born today at the RVH. While the rest of the hospital lazily sauntered through a quiet Saturday, inside the small maternity ward, a young mother was in painful labour for over three hours. When the baby finally released itself from the womb, it had inhaled placental fluids into its lungs and was unable to breath. The medical staff had to act quickly and resuscitate the boy who had already fallen into unconsciousness. Within 15 minutes though, the fluids had been expelled, airways cleared, and the boy was already proving he would be the next member of the Lake Nakuru Gospel Choir. Another successful day at the Rhein-Valley Hospital.
