In what\u2019s being called a modern-day miracle, a Kentucky mother says her unborn baby was touched by the \u201chand of God\u201d \u2013 and she has the ultrasound to prove it.<\/p>\n
In April 2022, Amanda Foster, now 33, shared an image of an ultrasound with her friends on Facebook, announcing that her unborn son Jay had \u201chealthy kidneys, no cysts and perfect blood flow to and from.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added that the boy was \u201cPotter syndrome free,\u201d which according to the Cleveland Clinic is a \u201crare condition that affects the growth and function of a baby\u2019s kidneys and other internal organs. This condition is life-threatening for the baby and many infants have a short life expectancy.\u201d<\/p>\n
More common in males\u2019
\nFor Foster, her fears of Potter syndrome started at 17, when she tragically lost her first child to at just 20 weeks.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy thought at that time was, \u2018Well, if God is going to take my son, He will take me too!\u201d Foster shared in a Facebook post, explaining her grief over losing her first son, Xavier. \u201cIt didn\u2019t work out that way, and I developed a deep resentment and anger toward God. If that wasn\u2019t enough, I was later told it was very unlikely I would ever have a healthy baby boy since Potter syndrome is more common in males.\u201d<\/p>\n
Foster and her husband Kyle later welcomed two healthy daughters, and then the couple had their first son, baby Jay in August 2022.<\/p>\n
Pray over Kyler\u2019
\nFast forward to today and the mother of three is again pregnant with another boy, who they\u2019re calling Kyler.<\/p>\n
But early in this pregnancy, doctors found a serious heart defect \u2013 an aortic septum abnormality that could threaten his life.<\/p>\n
As she approached her end of May scan in her high-risk pregnancy, Foster writes in a Facebook post that \u201ceach time before ultrasounds I\u2019ve dropped to my knees right in the doctor\u2019s office to pray over Kyler.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my prayers for him I\u2019ve asked the lord repeatedly to please keep his hand on my baby and whatever his plan may be to help me trust fully in it at ease.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018Hand\u2019 on her baby
\nJoining her at the appointment was her daughter Bailey \u2013 who she hoped would ease the nerves that had followed her through this pregnancy.<\/p>\n
But the nerves quickly turned to shock when the young girl noticed something peculiar in the image.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had an ultrasound yesterday, my youngest daughter Bailey was the first to notice it and asked me whose hand that was,\u201d she writes in her now viral Facebook post. The post also includes a black and white image of the ultrasound, showing what she believes to be a divine presence of a giant hand cradling her son\u2019s head. She adds: \u201cIn one of his pictures it has the appearance of a hand holding his head.\u201d<\/p>\n
She adds that the sight of the hand allegedly supporting Kyler\u2019s head brought her to \u201ctears\u201d over \u201call [God] has and continues to do for me. And I couldn\u2019t ever fathom a thought of living without [God] in my life!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
