Trusting God no matter what

I became pregnant when I was 36 years old. I was considered a high risk pregnancy. 8 weeks into my pregnancy I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and hypertension. I was hospitalized for 25 days all together. I prayed to God that my baby would be healthy and me as well. And I also declared health and healing for my baby. At 27 weeks my doctors diagnosed me with super imposed preeclampsia and told me that I will have to deliver at 27 weeks. The doctors was concerned because of the low birth weight and the complications that my baby may have. The doctors also told me my baby will not be able breathe on her own and she will have to stay in the hospital in the NICU for at least a month. My blood pressure was 221/130 and they had to put me on a medication to prevent me from getting seizures because my pressure was so high. My blood pressure kept going up and it would stay high. I prayed to God that I will not have to deliver my baby until she was full term. During the midst of this I had peace that God was with me. God told me that he will never leave me nor forsake me. At 32 weeks I delivered because my blood pressure was uncontrolled. My baby was born 8 weeks early. When my baby was born she weighed 4 lbs and 12 oz and she was breathing on her own and she only stayed in the hospital ( 2 days in the NICU and the 12 days in the level 2 nursery ) for a total of 2 weeks. I was able to take her home after 2 weeks. And the only reason why she was in the NICU was because there was no room in the level 2 for her to stay. My baby is 4 months now and she is doing great she is growing well and she is doing well all around when I take her to the doctors they are just amazed of how she is doing. She is doing everything as a regular full term baby. Glory Be To God!!!!!!!!
