A Boy Singing to his little sister.....
>
>
>
>
> You are My Sunshine, My only Sunshine'
>
> (Be prepared to get watery eyes!)
>
>
> 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,
> An active member of the Panther Creek United Methodist Church in Morristown
> , Tennessee
>
> 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 the 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 then, 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!
>
> Have a Wonderful Day!
