Miracle Baby Survives Being Born With No Kidneys

Abigail Beutler is truly a miracle baby. A rare condition called Potter syndrome meant she would be born with no kidneys. With every odd stacked against her, this girl’s fatality was practically a sure thing. But her parent’s refused to give up hope. And God showed that His will is always more powerful than any earthly odds!

Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler and her husband, Dan, walked into their 20-week ultrasound brimming with excitement. But when the face of the ultrasound tech went completely ashen, everything changed.

The doctors told Jaime and Dan that their little girl had no kidneys, a situation that, as they put it, was “incompatible with life.”

“She will either be stillborn, you’ll miscarry or she will suffocate in your arms after she is born,” Jaime says she was told.

Jaime and Dan were faced with a choice — end the pregnancy now or wait for nature to take its course? Yet, as the doctors were explaining that there was a 0% chance of survival, Jaime could feel her baby girl kicking inside of her all the while.

The shock of the devastating news left the couple in no condition to make any decisions that day. They went home to process all of the information that had been discussed, where Jaime collapsed in a wave of emotion.

“We got home and we just lost it,” Jaime says. “I remember sitting on the floor sobbing and Dan comes over and puts his arm around me … So in my mind I’m starting to feel like, ‘They tell us with 100 percent certainty she will not live. Yet she’s alive right now.’ How do you square that in your mind? You don’t. You totally lose it.”

The couple sought opinions from more doctors, only to receive the same grim prognosis. So, Jaime and Dan decided to step out on faith, deciding they weren’t going to give up on their baby. . . or God. Instead, they chose to pray earnestly for a miracle.

As a U.S. Representative, they’d only just announced Jaime’s pregnancy to the public. Had that not been the case, the couple would have chosen to keep the dire situation a private matter. But now, the devastated parents had no choice but to announce the terrible news as well.

Though it seemed like terrible timing then, God had a very special purpose for making Jaime and Dan’s grief so public.

Word of the couple’s struggle was picked up by the press. And while Rob Volmer — President of a public relations company in Washington, D.C. — rarely picks up USA Today, he just so happened to be thumbing through a copy at a hotel while he was waiting for a client to show up.

That’s when he stumbled upon Jaime’s story. Although, that was no coincidence, but all part of God’s beautiful plan as well!

You see, Rob had been through a very similar situation, though for a different disease.

“I thought, ‘I know the doctors are wrong but she’s not going to believe me. I have to find someone to get an introduction to me,’ ” Rob recalled.

His son’s life had been saved by amnio infusions of saline into his wife’s uterus. The kidneys are responsible for producing the amniotic fluid needed for overall development of the fetus, especially the lungs. Because little Abigail had no kidneys, the rest of her body was not developing. But because of the experience with his son, Rob knew the saline injections were capable of providing the fluid that was missing.

Rob didn’t give up until he was able to pass the information along to Jaime. He put her in touch with the doctor that had helped him — Dr. Jessica Bienstock, a perinatologist at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.

Despite the success with Rob’s son, Dr. Bienstock was very skeptical that the saline injections would do any good. That’s because the ultrasound revealed that little Abigail already had significant deformities as a result of having no kidneys — her head was misshapen, her feet looked clubbed and her chest looked small.

But Jaime and Dan remained faithful.

“The difference between 0 percent hope and .00001 percent hope is enormous,” says Dan.

And God was not finished with this little girl! Just one week later, the doctor said “all of a sudden everything looked good.” Abigail’s head was shaped normally, her chest had grown some, and she was moving all around.

As Jaime continued to go in for weekly treatments, they were blessed to see God doing His amazing work.

“We kept putting fluid in and her chest circumference grew,” Dr. Bienstock says. “We saw Abigail practicing breathing inside.”

So, they kept going. There was no way to track lung development, so Jaime and Dan just continued to put their trust in the Lord and pray for a miracle.

The true test came with contractions hit Jaime while she was on the House floor, sending her into pre-term labor at 28-weeks. Little Abigail was born on July 15, 2013, weighing only 2 pounds, 12 ounces.

Prepared for the worst, it was a tense moment when Abigail first made her appearance. But just moments later, the tiny warrior let out a cry. . . a cry which meant her lungs were doing their job!

“That’s our miracle,” Jaime thought when she heard that sweet cry.

With her lungs so well developed, doctors then turned their attention to the next hurdle — her lack of kidney function. She had surgery the following day and immediately began dialysis treatments.

The results were an active and stable baby breathing on her own. Abigail was the first baby with Potter syndrome ever known to have survived!

The dialysis continued successfully for nearly three years, as Abigail’s parents waited for the girl to grow big enough for the next step in her treatment. After having been saved by her Heavenly Father, Abigail’s father here on earth was the next to play a vital role in her healing.

Her hero dad had already put his career as a lawyer on hold so that he could stay home as Abigail’s full-time caregiver.

“I wanted to do everything I could to make her life better,” Dan said.

And if that meant donating a kidney, Dan was all for it. And that’s precisely what he did!

Despite being 6-months pregnant, Jaime was right by Abigail’s side the entire time during the weeks she spent in the hospital following the transplant. It was a stark reminder of all the family had been through to get to this point.

“I just stopped and looked at her and said, ‘Oh my goodness. She wasn’t even supposed to be here …and now she’s got this amazing whole life in front of her.’ We’re incredibly blessed and it’s worth it,” Jaime said.

The transplant was a success, which meant the end of Abigail’s dialysis. And today, she’s a happy, healthy toddler.

The same child with no kidneys, that was ruled “incompatible with life” is now a vibrant, living, breathing testament to the power of God’s will!

“The LORD your God is in your midst,

a mighty one who will save;He will rejoice over you with gladness;He will quiet you by His love;He will exult over you with loud singing.”

Zephaniah 3:17

Kailyn Lowry is just days away from giving birth to her third child, but unfortunately, her baby daddy, Chris Lopez, has shown no interest in being a hands-on father. Kailyn, however, is hoping that changes.

Kailyn is praying that Chris has a change of heart and he will want to be a dad after the baby is born. Kailyn’s own father upped and left when she was really young, so she knows what it’s like to grow up without a dad, and she really doesn’t want the same for her baby. Chris has said he wants nothing to do with Kailyn or his child, but she’s hoping against hope that he will change his mind once he sees photos of the baby. Kailyn doesn’t have any desire to get back with Chris romantically, but she thinks it’s really important for their child to have him in his or her life. The thought of her baby having to grow up without a father to guide and love him or her absolutely breaks Kailyn’s heart,” a source close to the Teen Mom 2 star tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

Recently, Kailyn took a bizarre test to find out the gender of her baby, and if you believe this old wives’ tale, then it looks like she’s expecting a baby girl. So if Chris chooses to not be in the child’s life, then he’s potentially missing out on raising a beautiful baby girl. And that makes us sad, because we all know how much girls adore their fathers. Kailyn doesn’t want her potential daughter to go through the same upbringing she experienced. She’s even angry with Chris for not wanting to be a part of their baby’s life.

“She’s still very, very angry with Chris but she’s trying not to let those emotions take over,” another Teen Mom insider told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “She wants to stay happy and positive for her kids, she hates it when they see her crying. She’s not letting her anger take over but she’s certainly not going to let Chris just skate away on this.”

HollywoodLifers, do YOU think Chris Lopez will have a change of heart after the baby is born? Tell us how you feel below!

On 4 November 2016, a web site called PeopleMagazine.co.za (which appears to be a knock-off of the legitimate celebrity and news publication People Magazine, whose domain is people.com) posted a strange story claiming that a baby girl had been born at General Hospital at Kubwa, Abuja, with her hands clasped together as though in prayer:

The doctors dealing with this special case informed the parents of the child that they would conduct an operation on the hands of their baby girl. Their little one would also be given an antistatic.

The operation went smoothly – with no complications whatsoever because it seemed like the little girl’s hands were simply glued together by a single layer of light skin. Nothing prepared the medical team for what was hidden in the baby girl’s hands. As her hands were separated, it is claimed that the message ‘JESUS IS COMING BACK!’ was written on the inside of her hands.

This story has been on the Internet since at least 2007, when it appeared on various message boards. It has resurfaced repeatedly, with variations. In 2015, a YouTube video of a seeming news report out of Nigeria claims the baby was born holding a Koran, the holy book of the Muslim faith:

That same year, the story was posted to a blog which claimed that the baby’s birth, with the apocalyptic message written on her clasped hands, coupled with the passage of the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) in the United States were harbingers of end times:

Let’s Pray Hard: 6 6 6 The Mark Of The Beast Prophesy Finally Fulfilled… Written By: Jonathan Annobil. The US Senate has passed the Obama Health Bill into law. The implementation would commence soon. This bill would require all Americans to be implanted with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip in order to access nmedical care. The device will be implemented on the forehead or on the arm. This is to fulfill the prophesy in the Book of Revelation 13:15-18 concerning the MARK OF THE BEAST. Are you still doubting the END TIME? Do u know that the special car which was made for Obama is known as the BEAST? Get READY. The rapture is near! Revelations 13 is being played out right before us.

It is of course physically impossible for a baby to be born with writing on her hands or holding a book, and it seems dubious that end times would be presaged by the passage of a health care bill.  The story is a recurring hoax that appears to originate in (or at least be about) Nigeria, and perpetuates itself by way of fervently religious readers looking for signs of end times.
