A Life Changing Purim


There I was again, in the familiar corridor at the Bikur Cholim hospital in Jerusalem. But this time I had two healthy children at home, which gave me hope that maybe, just maybe, there would be good news...

Wow
I still remember the day of the horrible Beit Israel attack. Even for a terrorist attack it was unusually cruel and tragic. It's so comforting to know that at least one good thing, your son, came as a result. Mazal tov!

Misdiagnosed Miscarriages
I did some research and found that this is unfortunately not so uncommon. If anyone is G-d forbid in such a situation, do not give up hope! Wait until there is absolutely no doubt- a malpositioned uterus or fetus may not show up on an ultrasound, dates may be off... what are a few weeks when your baby's life may be at stake?

Wow. What a story of Divine Providence. If it were me I would have probably freaked out at having to wait so long for the D&C. Once I had to go throught Rosh Hashana after a miscarriage and that was sooooo hard. In your case things really did turn out for the best BIG TIME.
Thanks for sharing!!!!!

What a True Purim Miracle!
When one reads about this struggle to bring a precious life in the world, one's mudane daily struggles pale in comparison, and seem so petty.This story is an inspiration for us to appreciate our own daily miracles in life.

Thank you!
Your article has given me so much hope. I am going through the same thing. After 3 successful, uneventful pregnancies, I was told yesterday that the sac was empty. I'm waiting to hear from my doctor where I can go for a better ultrasound. Thank you!

That was a beautiful story. I am struggling with coming to terms with a possible pregnancy loss, and I am thankful for the insight and inspiration of your story. Thank you for sharing.

What a powerful story!
Reading your story brought tears to my eyes. I remember so well the terror attack that you wrote about. Doctors rely on science and medical facts, but we know that we have to rely on G-d. One of my sister-in-laws pregnancies, the doctors told her that the baby was deformed and would die at birth or shortly after. They wanted her to abort. She told them no, and said that whatever G-d gives them they would love. A little girl was born very healthy and today she is the mother of an 18 month child.
