Miracle Baby Off To New Zealand PDF Print E-mail
Written by Meghan Bonin and Charlina Tone   
Wednesday, 31 October 2007

miracleA severly deformed baby girl is off to New Zealand this weekend for intensive reconstructive surgery at Middlemore Hospital.
Baby Miracle had multiple deformaties when she was born and doctors had led the parents to believe that she would only survive a couple of days.
The parents claimed they never lost faith and secretly fed baby Miracle, against the instructions left by the doctors.
A recent scan taken of the baby at the Tupua Tamasese Meaole Hospital showed her organs are developing like any other normal baby.
The President of the Survival Foundation, Tuileapa Mary Grey, has taken an interest in the welfare of the baby and is instrumental in getting the funding for the trip to New Zealand.
“ Thanks to the great support from so many different people around the world Miracle is now able to travel and have surgery in New Zealand,” says Tuilaepa.
“Without this help Miracle would not get the treatment she needs.”
The Head of the TTM Hospital Medical Unit, Lemalu Dr. Limbo Fiu, says there is an established history of babies born with deformaties, who died shortly after birth.
“Thia is quite common and normally with babies with milder deformaties compared to Baby Miracle,” he says.

Faith and Pray
written by lani, November 08, 2007
Baby Mira and Family,

Don't give up hope, God is there for all of your family, The God that we're worship is a living God, and also do miracles for us. Keep up the faith and pray that he will answer our prayers. The bible says, that everything is possible to God so be prayful and try to fast for Mircle. By the way I like that name, Miracle.
Faith, Hope, & Love many miles away...
written by Miracle..., November 10, 2007
In all things we recognize the hands of GOD... as in this situation you are truely blessed to have this spirit in your life. Father in Heaven knows that Miracle would come in his own time and not in ours. It is with deep prayer and faith we offer our hope to your family in this time. If you as a couple were not strong the Lord would not have blessed you in this way. Good luck in all your medical treatments and may God speed your health quickly. Love will sustain and keep you... smilies/smiley.gif

Deepest thought,

Oka! where was I at. Never keep up with Samoan News. What a miracle!!! She is such a Beauty. It's sad that I hear people saying that it's a curse of whatever non sense people are saying. This girl has a unique look and I am very definite that this girl will survive through it all.
In Samoa I learned that O mea ia e iloa ai le mamana o galuega a le Atua not a curse. Please no no no. I didn't get into further detail about our miracle baby but this girl is given from God here for a Destination that God had planned. She is destine to live for a Very Good Reason and given to Strong Parents who have Faith. Keep up the faith parents of Miracletina. Never give up> I myself has a miracle baby that doctors claim that He would not live but he's 10 years old now. So parents don't give up your faith. Your faith could be tested by our Heavenly Father. So stay strong. There is a reason also why God gives you this Child and chose you to be the parents of this gir. May God bless and I will help out with any finance I could get right now. She will be Fine. Please don't ever give up hope and Your Faith in God. God will never let us go through with anything that we cannot handle. This is your trial Mr and Mrs Nanai. Sending some monetary help and all our love and prayers sincerely.
sorrry and god bless

Our Samoan Miracle
written by Naivi Manuleleua in Las Vegas, October 09, 2008
Do not be sorry, this is one of God's creation, he pre planned our arrival time, just because we see she is not normal, it does not mean that she is different, she might be deformed, but she is still a precious gift of our Heavenly Father, he made this child in his image, so let the LORD our Father to fulfill MIRACLE'S dream, the Almight Father has a plan for each one of us, we heard about this wonderful blessing of a Samoan child, and do not be sorry or sad, lets just rejoice and continue to pray for Miracle, she is a very pretty child. Love you Baby..
