20.Like any good mother,when Karen found out that another baby was on the way,she did what she could to help her three-year-old son,Michael,prepare for a new sibling(兄弟姊妹).They find out that the new baby is going to be a girl,and day after day,night after night,Michael sings to his sister in Mommy's stomach.
The pregnancy (懷孕) progresses normally for Karen.But problems appear during delivery (分娩).Finally,Michael's little sister is born.But she is in serious condition.An ambulance rushes the infant to the intensive care unit at St.Mary's Hospital.
The little girl gets worse.The doctor tells the parents,"There is very little hope.Be prepared for the worst."Karen and her husband have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby-now they plan a funeral (葬禮).
Michael,keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister,"I want to sing to her,"he says.But kids are never allowed in Intensive Care Unit(重癥監(jiān)護室).However,Karen makes up her mind.She will take Michael whether they like it or not."If he doesn't see his sister now,he may never see her alive."She dresses him in an oversized coat and leads him into ICU.The head nurse recognizes him as a child and bellows,"Get that kid out of here now!"The mother,the usually mild-mannered lady glares steel-eyed into the head nurse's face,her lips a firm line."He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!"Karen pulls Michael to his sister's bedside.He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live.And he begins to sing.
"You are my sunshine,my only sunshine; you make me happy when skies are gray…"
Immediately the baby girl responds.The pulse rate(脈搏) becomes calm and steady.
"You never know,dear,how much I love you.Please don't take my sunshine away…"
The weak breathing becomes as smooth as a kitten's purr(咕嚕聲).
Keep on singing,Michael.Tears conquer the face of the bossy head nurse as well as Karen.
Funeral plans are removed.The next day-the very next day-the little girl is well enough to go home!
