Graf #7 Person

Graf #7 Person

My son is a miracle. We are very lucky, and blessed to have him in our lives (along with our three other children). My wife went through a lot during the pregnancy. It got to the point that it was harming her health by the third trimester. I was very worried because she was passing out, and was practically on bed rest at the end of it. During the delivery she had to be induced, and the first thing I saw just before the baby’s head, was the umbilical cord. The cord was around the top of his head, and it was tied in a knot also. The doctor who preformed the delivery was noticeably alarmed by this, and said that if the pregnancy had been put off any longer that it would have been very risky. I thought that the episiotomy was the worst part for me to have witnessed though. So this is why I refer to our children as a blessing to our family (they all have their own tales of birth and survival).

Whew. This is the second scary childbirth story I've read this morning. I can't take any more!

But, where's the person focus? Not a situation but a character study?
