There are days, I pray so earnestly for a miracle as I await amniocentesis results which would confirm the diagnosis.
When friends and family pray for me, I was hoping they'd pray for a miracle, for Little Faith to actually be normal and healthy.
It's a strange position to be in.
As a healthcare worker and seeing many palliative care patients, I was used to breaking bad news and poor prognosis to clients' loved ones.
It is often that most would pray and hope for a miracle, even for the most terminal of conditions.
Sometimes, as a clinician, it can be perceived that their hope for a miracle may be somewhat pointless. I do not discourage it because it gives them a ray of hope in dark times.
Truly, miracles can happen, although in my experience, they happen extremely rarely.
Now being in the role of my clients, I experience that desperation for a miracle - and it was a strange position to be in.
