When I was in the fifth month of my pregnancy, I had a detailed scan. The doctor told my husband and I that he had detected a white dot in our baby's heart and another seed in his brain. He warned us that this could lead to our baby being born with Downs Syndrome, which is a genetic disorder that results in physical abnormalities and limited mental ability. The doctor advised us to go for an amniocentesis test, which would confirm whether our baby had Downs Syndrome.

I was devastated. This was my first born and I could not believe what I had just heard. I went for this test the very next day and was informed that the results would be available in three weeks time. I confided in a good friend of mine, Alicia, who is also in Bethesda Cathedral. She suggested that I ask Pastor Tay to pray for my unborn child, that God would turn the situation around. I did just that.

Together with my husband, Jeffrey, we went to Pastor Tay's office one afternoon. After sharing the situation with him, Pastor asked us to hold hands and he prayed for us. About a week later, I went to a second gynaecologist at Mount Elizabeth Hospital for a second opinion, and there underwent another scan. There on the screen, the results showed that my baby was perfectly normal. I was overjoyed! God heard Pastor Tay's prayer. We were so happy and thanked the Lord for this
miracle.

The pending results from the amniocentesis test no longer seemed important to us. We believed that God had truly turned the situation around. And to our delight, when the results did come, it confirmed that our baby was tested negative for Downs Syndrome.

When my child was born, he went through all the checks for symptoms of Downs Syndrome, and they were negative. Praise God! I know in my heart that it is God's healing power that have touched my baby and protected him. God's will for my baby is to be healthy.

Thank you Jesus. Glory to God!
