It's Done!

Hallelujah!

As of Thursday, Kenyan time, Rose has safely delivered a baby boy.  Rose had to have a C-section and she will be released soon to recover more fully at home.  Her husband has raised about half of the required funds which will need to be paid prior to discharge. 

Mom and baby are doing well. I'm sure Rose is most relieved given the challenges of carrying to term. I'm grateful for those of you who prayed for Rose and her child.  We are overjoyed that the long drama of pregnancy challenges is over and that baby has been safely delivered. I learned that Rose had not been expecting another pregnancy. In fact for the past several years she was quite certain that her child birthing years were finished.  I know that happens sometimes for mature, older women.  But baby's conception and destiny are not a surprise to God who gives life and I'm thankful to be a part of the safe entry into the world.  I hope I get a chance to travel safely to Kenya and back after Covid and see the baby myself.

How wonderful and what an answer to prayer! Praying the baby boy will be healthy and strong and that Rose will also be healthy and enjoy this miracle baby! She must feel like Elizabeth or Sarah in the Bible! Such a blessing from the Lord. Thank you for letting us know.

Happy to hear that Rose and her new baby are well and healthy. It may be hard for her as an older Mum? I will look back on your blog as I was wondering if she had other children and how she will manage. It's good she has the baby's Dad with her to help and support. Many good wishes and love being sent to Rose and her baby today.

Hi Jan, I know that Rose has other children of a wide range of ages though many of them will be in school. I will enquire how she is going to manage for the first few months as she heals. I think between her husband, the children and some neighbours she will manage but I'm still concerned about her as she heals. Thank you for your good wishes for her.

Yes, cute baby feet. But they don’t belong to Rose's baby.

Joyful said...

Yes great news Diane. I appreciate you stopping by!

I'm very happy for Rose and her family I'll be even happier in a few months after she's had a chance to heal.
