Things began to change completely in their life after this couple got pregnant!

Not Giving Up

The stretched illness of Heather was affecting John too. But despite getting pulled down by the unfavorable condition at home he decided to rise above these hardships and fight the odds. Though he could never get canoodled by his mother, he loved his mother unconditionally. The lack of mother’s love in his life made him very mature. Just like his father, John also looks after his mother. This is ironic that a child is taking care of his mother. He also understands what his mother try to say. It is important to point out here that the devastating situation had brought the family closer. 

Taking Care Of Heather

Looking after Heather was not easy. Sean had to feed her all the medicines, had to take care of her sanitation requirements, he also had to remain upon his toe to grasp what she needs when. The bad news was that the recovery was very slow and the good news was that she was recovering at least. Sean had to take her to the hospital every now and then. Visiting hospital had become a part of his routine. His constant efforts and prayers bore fruit when Heather began to show some very visible improvements. It went on this way for a year when a miracle knocked the door of family. 

She Speaks

It happened when Heather as always was lying on the bed and John was standing next to her. He was waving goodbye when something magical happened. Heather surprised everyone when she finally uttered something for the first time in years. You won’t believe what she said? She took the name of her son “John.” Whereas John was learning to utter “momma”, his momma took his name first after years of silence. At that time John was only a year old. Sean, on the other hand, could not believe that she actually spoke up.

“John”

After hearing her speaking John’s name, Sean jumped to the side of Heather and asked her to speak the name again. Once again Heather tried to speak up but could not raise her voice above the almost inaudible squeak. She struggled hard and took the name twice but because of weakness, she could not make it louder and she also began moving her hands a bit. Though the progress was slow it gave a lot of happiness to Sean who had been yearning to hear her wife’s voice. Also, his faith in their love grew stronger that had successfully passed all the test in past. And finally, it also had overcome their first obstacle of this giant problem.

Best Gift Ever

Coincidently, John’s birthday was around the corner when for the first time Heather spoke his name. No doubt, John had received his best gift from his mother. He for the first time had heard his momma’s voice. Even though she was lying on the bed, she made her son’s first birthday special by calling him by his name. It was not the best gift for John alone but for his father too.

Calling Different Names

From there on Heather began to recuperate comparatively fastly. Now, Heather is able to move her fingers and can also convey her yes or no by blinking her eyes. Also, she can speak different words along with her son’s name. She can take her husband’s name as well. Though she can’t move she vividly remembers her days with her joyful days with her husband. Now, John has turned three and also takes care of his mother.
