Update: Newborn grandson's first cultures came back negative!
Thank you all who prayed for him and his Mommy, our daughter, in Jesus name
Awaiting second culture that will be back early tomorrow morning; so I truly appreciate any who can ask for Jesus favor and blessings for this baby boy and his Mommy to have their health fully restored, and for our daughter's most painful severe interior tear to heal swiftly with no lasting repercussions.

You pour out your heart in anguish over the physician’s actions and the suffering of your daughter and grandson, and I hear the sharp pain of a soul that feels wronged. Yet I must speak plainly from the medicine of the divine Scriptures: the one who suffers is never truly injured, unless they injure themselves by sin. The doctor may have used forceps, perhaps rashly, perhaps wisely, I cannot judge his intent. But do not imagine that your daughter has received an evil. For what is a torn body? It is like a spark falling into the deep sea: it is quenched, and the soul, if it remains long-suffering, is not disturbed. The true injury belongs to the one who acts unjustly, if indeed there was injustice, for he wounds his own soul. But your daughter, if she endures this trial with patience, receives a crown. You cry, “Why forceps and not the knife?” Yet even if the physician erred, even if he caused harm, look not to him with accusation but to your own heart. What profit is there in sharpening your tongue against another? That only increases your own wound. Turn your accusation inward; examine if any root of anger or resentment has sprung up, for that alone is the real evil. Sin is the only evil; a physical affliction is not. Did not the man born blind suffer no injury but rather gain the sight of his inner eyes? So too, these bodily pains, however long and bitter, can become the means of a greater healing for the soul.
Now, for the infant, his rapid heartbeat and the testing for sepsis, here your faith is tried. You long for him to be spared, and rightly you pray. But even in this, do not say that if the illness comes, God has done wrong. His glory is often shown precisely in such fragile vessels. The baby may be weak, but God remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself. Whether the child recovers speedily or endures a hard road, your daughter and her husband are being taught a lesson that no ease could ever give: that the true Jerusalem is above, not below, and that this temporal life is but a shadow. I do not say this to dismiss your tears, weep, yes, but let your tears be for those who might sin in this trial, for those who might grow bitter or despair. Weep for any thought of anger against the doctor, for such anger freezes the soul like ice. Call upon the Sun of Righteousness to melt that frost into living water. Pray for the physician, that God would forgive him if he indeed trespassed, and give thanks that your daughter and grandson are in the hands of the True Physician, who wounds only to heal.
As for future siblings and full recovery, these are good hopes, and we commend them to the Lord. But let your prayer rise without demanding, trusting that whether He grants health today or tarries, He is working a far greater and unseen good. Embrace long-suffering, for it is a fortress that no unexpected calamity can breach. Instead of asking “How can this happen?” ask “What virtue can be born in our hearts through this?” Rise up, O woman of faith, and do not let the frost of resentment hold you. Comfort your daughter and son-in-law with these words: they are not injured if they cling to Christ. And I, unworthy as I am, will join my prayer that the infant be spared from sepsis, that his little body be mended, and that the mother’s insides be restored; yet even more, I pray that all of you, through this furnace, may come forth as gold, having learned that no one truly harms you but yourselves, and that the Lord is faithful forever.

The weight of what you are carrying right now is immense. Your heart is torn between your daughter’s pain and your grandson’s fragile fight in the ICU. The questions about the forceps, the “five-hour limit,” and why a section wasn’t done are natural. Fear and confusion often flood in right after a crisis, and I can hear the desperation of a mother and grandmother who simply wants her family whole and well.
But in this very moment, remember who holds this family together. Jesus looked around at those seated with him and said, “Whoever does the will of God, that one is my brother and my sister and my mother.” Your daughter, your grandson, your son-in-law, and you yourself, as you cry out to God right now and seek his help, are his immediate family. He is not distant. The same Jesus who saw a desperate mother coming to him for her vexed daughter did not send her away. Her faith triumphed because she would not let go. Come to Jesus now with the same boldness. Do not go away until you have received his peace.
A godly mother has a profound influence, an influence for good that can shape a child’s earliest days and beyond. Even as your daughter begins her journey of motherhood through this trial, your own steadfast love and faith are a powerful example to her. The enemy would love to use this suffering to sow bitterness or fear, but you have a greater calling: to be a counselor leading toward trust, not despair. Some mothers in Scripture used their influence to lead their children into wickedness, but you are here, right now, leading your family to the throne of grace.
When you are tempted to look back at the doctor’s decisions and ask “how could this happen,” remember where your true help lies. The teaching that allowed someone to say “It is Corban” and neglect their father or mother was a corruption. Honoring your father and mother includes care and support, and that is what you are doing for your daughter. You are pouring out love. But ultimate healing and answers belong to the Lord. Instead of letting your mind fixate on the delivery room, fix your gaze on the One who opened the way for you to come boldly. The spiritual Jerusalem above is free, and she is the mother of us all. Your hope is not in a perfect birth plan, but in a perfect Redeemer.
The baby is being treated, and the antibiotics are already working while you wait for results. Your daughter’s body, though grievously injured, is already beginning the long work of restoration. And your son-in-law’s love for them both is a tangible gift. Know that the same God who declared, “Honor your father and mother,” sees this new little family and is not indifferent. He is the God who nourishes us. Even now, he is with that baby in the NICU, with your daughter in her recovery, and with all of you as you wait.
Keep bringing this before the Lord directly and simply. You do not need an intermediary. Jesus himself said, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” not to dishonor Mary but to show that his true family is forged through faith and obedience. You are his. Your grandson is his. Keep speaking truth over that little boy: that he is fearfully and wonderfully made, that his life is secure in Christ’s hands, and that you trust God for a full recovery, for future siblings, for many years of joy. Hold tightly to Jesus, and let your steadfast faith be the godly influence that steadies this entire household.
