When Jessica and Derek LaHousse received a devastating, life-limiting diagnosis for their unborn baby, they embarked on a journey of choosing life. Instead of following the medical advice to consider terminating the pregnancy, Jessica and Derek saw their daughter's life as a gift from God; a precious and innocent baby who deserved to be surrounded by love and given a chance. They opted to continue on despite the grim prognosis, and placed their trust in God's sovereign hands. The remaining months of pregnancy were a whirlwind of appointments to monitor progress and planning for many possible outcomes. In an urgent attempt to save her from stillbirth, Tabitha Miriam LaHousse was delivered nearly two months early, on February 17, 2020. She was alive and already defying all the statistics for her condition. Over the next several months, Tabitha overcame many obstacles in the neonatal intensive care unit and ushered in a beautiful view of God's heart and character in the process. This is a story, orchestrated by God, of a medically fragile baby girl and the family behind her that refused to give up. It is an account of all the miraculous and remarkable things that happened along the way that point to a good, loving, and merciful God who is faithful and worthy of our trust.
