"LUCK"

I've always believed I was born for a purpose in this world.  I was brought up in a Baptist church, my dad is a Pastor, and I believe in God.  I've read a book called "The Purpose Driven Life" and I do believe everyone on God's earth has a purpose.  This was not very clear to me until I was pregnant with my first child and starting having complications around my 26th week of pregnancy.  I had a lot of health problems, high blood pressure, edema, pre-eclampsia, each week I got sicker and sicker.  I started having signs of stroke one night so my mom rushed me to the ER, and they immediately got me stable and hooked up to lots of monitors for me and my unborn child.  Doctors came in mumbling amongst themselves but me I didn't worry, I prayed.  Yes, I was scared but when you believe in God like I do the scary stuff seems to fade away.  I was shipped to Forsyth Medical Center 2 days later to deliver my child.  The plan was to keep me down there kinda on bed rest until I was at least 38 weeks.  God had another plan, I had my son at 33 1/2 weeks pregnant a healthy beautiful baby boy weighing 3lbs. 9 oz.  They had to use forceps to help pull him out of me and little did they know they tore me on the inside.  So while my son was willing himself to live, I was dying and did not have a clue.  When I did realize what was going on, I was scared and didn't know at the time but God had sent me an angel to watch out for me because the hospital I was at was so busy they had to put me on the heart floor and the nurse I had already seemed frazzeled that they were giving her another patient but a sick one at that.  I kept bleeding ALOT and this nurse didn't like it.  Every doctor she called she would tell them my condition and they would say oh, it's normal.  I could vaguely hear her say this doesn't look normal to me and she called the Head Doctor who had me rushed to ER immediately, which saved my life.  I had to recieve 2 blood transfusions from losing so much blood.  After a couple of months I tried contacting the nurse who undoublty saved my life and they had no record of her.  This made the hairs on my neck stand up but of course this is how God works.  I must say this is the closest to "luck" I've ever been.
