01b01font00Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her 3-year old son, Michael, prepare for a new sibling. They find out that the new baby is going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sings to his sister in Mommy's tummy. 02br
02br
00The pregnancy progresses normally for Karen, an active member of the Panther Creek United Methodist Church in Morristown,Tennessee. Then the labor pains come. Every five minutes every minute. But complications arise during delivery. Hours of labor. Would a C-section be required? 02br
02br
00Finally, Michael's little sister is born. But she is in serious condition. With siren howling in the night, the ambulance rushes the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Mary's Hospital, Knoxville, Tennessee. The days inch by. The little girl gets worse. The pediatric specialist tells the parents, "There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst." 02br
02br
00Karen and her husband contact a local cemetery about a burial plot. They have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby - now they plan a funeral. 02br
02br
00Michael, keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, "I want to sing to her," he says. 02br
02br
00Week two in intensive care. It looks as if a funeral will come before the week is over. Michael keeps nagging about singing to his sister, but kids are never allowed in Intensive Care. But Karen makes up her mind. She will take Michael whether they like it or not. If he doesn't see his sister now, he may never see her alive. 02br
02br
00She dresses him in an oversized scrub suit and marches him into ICU. He looks like a walking laundry basket, but the head nurse recognizes him as a child and bellows, "Get that kid out of here now! No children are allowed. 02br
02br
00The mother rises up strong in Karen, and the usually mild-mannered lady glares steel-eyed into the head nurse's face, her lips a firm line. "He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!" Karen tows Michael to his sister's bedside. He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. And he begins to sing. 02br
02br
00In the pure hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sings: "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray --- " 02br
02br
00Instantly the baby girl responds. The pulse rate becomes calm and steady. 02br
02br
00Keep on singing, Michael. 02br
02br
00"You never know, dear, how much I love you, Please don't take my sunshine away---" 02br
02br
00The ragged, strained breathing becomes as smooth as a kitten's purr. Keep on singing, Michael. 02br
02br
00"The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms..." Michael's little sister relaxes as rest, healing rest, seems to sweep over her. Keep on singing, Michael. Tears conquer the face of the bossy head nurse. Karen glows. 02br
02br
00"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. Please don't, take my sunshine away." 02br
02br
00Funeral plans are scrapped. The next, day-the very next day-the little girl is well enough to go home! 02br
02br
00Woman's Day magazine called it "the miracle of a brother's song." The medical staff just called it a miracle. 02br
02br
00Karen called it a miracle of God's love! 02br
02br
00NEVER GIVE UP ON THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE 02br
