Today I met the doctor that saved my life 36 years ago on the day I was born, February 4th, 1987.
Meet Dr. Gordon McTavish.
If you don’t know my story:
The day I was born was very traumatic.
I was dead with next to no blood. I was white as a sheet. All my organs were shut down, and Dr. McTavish did not give up on me. He worked very hard together with another doctor to resuscitate me.
Today when I met him he told me they gave me blood through my umbilical cord.
He said it was a very crazy morning and he remembers every detail!
He told my mom I gave him his first grey hair.
From lack of oxygen,
(since I was dead)
I was most likely going to be in a wheelchair my whole life and need to be fed, never walk…
I’m here to say that God had other plans!
I believe God had that special set of doctors at that small town hospital that morning.
The set of doctors that did not see me as ‘still born’ but decided that I would live! And did not give up on me!
This was a very special meeting today and I feel very blessed that I could meet the doctor that is the reason I am here today!
