Episode 23
Mrs Johnson had started feeling the labour pain and she called on her husband to come and take her to the hospital. Mr Johnson rushed down from work and helped her to the hospital, when they got there he started pacing up and down. He called Gift to inform him that his mom was in labour. Since Blessing died he had become unusually quiet and doesnât talk much to people. The once happy and cheerful Mr Johnson became a quiet and sad man.
He and his wife had collectively agreed that they will not tell Gift of Blessingâs death. And so whenever he called and asked after Blessing, they normally tell him she had gone to school and when he asked for her phone number they gave him a lost phone number, he had complained severally that her number was never going, but they always had one flimsy excuse to give to him. Mr Johnson remembered how his wife had taken him to where she had buried Blessing. He had cried so much over her grave, then he begged the owners of the place and bought the place in her honour. He also carried the money meant for Blessingâs operation and opened a school for the blind. He had named it âMY BLESSINGâS SCHOOL OF THE BLINDâ this was the only place that now gives him joy. And he has dedicated the rest of his life to working in the school. It was while in the school that he got the call that his wife was in labour.
Itâs been over two hours since Mrs Johnson was rolled into the labour room and no news of her or her baby, all Mr Johnson was hearing was his wife crying and shouting in pains. He had knelt down and prayed severally but it seemed God was busy and was not hearing him. Hours turned into two day and Mr Johnson was beginning to panic. He stormed the doctorâs office.
Mr Johnson: Doctor, what is happening? Why has my wife not put to birth?
Doctor: Honestly, I donât know what is happening. But we are considering performing a CS on her
Mr Johnson: What is a CS?
Doctor Greg: it is a caesarian section an operation.
Mr Johnson: operation? Why?
Doctor : At this point the baby is already struggling to survive, as there is no fluid left in her and she had lost lot of strength so right now it is our only option.
Mr Johnson: Will they be okay? My wife and my baby?
Doctor: it is all in Godâs hands Mr Johnson.
Mr Johnson: okay Doc, just do everything you can to ensure that they are fine.
Doctor: no problem, but you have to cone with me to sign some documents.
Mr Johnson: Thatâs no problem, you move along and I will join you soonest, I wanna talk to my son first.
Doctor: okay, just hurry up.
Mr Johnson: No problem.
When the doctor left, Mr Johnson called Gift again and informed him of the new development. After the call, he knelt again and said a short prayer, this time he didnât pray for delivery of the Hebrew women, nor safe delivery, instead he prayed and said.
Mr Johnson: dear Lord, let your will be done on my wife in Jesus name. Amen.
