When Sarah Imenu was told by who she thought were three wayfarers that she was going to have a baby at the age of 90, the Ramban says Hashem expected her to fully believe that it could happen, because he writes, it is an obligation for every believer in Hashem to believe that He could do anything, no matter how unrealistic it seems. It is with that in mind that Chazal have taught us that even if a person has a sharp sword on his neck, he should still hope to Hashem for salvation. There is no such thing as impossible and we have seen with our own eyes countless examples of Hashem’s amazing yeshuot . A woman told me she had two babies eleven months apart right after she got married. Then, two months after her second baby was born, she discovered she was expecting a third. Her first two pregnancies were very difficult, not to mention her hands were full with two little ones at home. And so, she couldn’t imagine going through it again, but she strengthened herself and prepared to do whatever job Hashem was asking her to do. At the five-month sonogram, the doctor discovered an enormous mass on the baby’s neck. He said the mass was the size of the entire head. He told the woman the best-case scenario, which sounded very grim. His professional advice to her was to terminate the pregnancy immediately. She consulted with rabbis and then, heroically, decided she was ready to do whatever Hashem wanted and if this is what He wanted, she was going to continue with it. When they did a sonogram in the eighth month, it showed that the mass became so large, it was as big as the baby’s entire body. Her doctor told her the chances of the baby’s survival were very slim and if she wanted to continue the pregnancy, it would have to be with the special children's hospital that he recommended. She called the rabbi who was guiding her and told him of the new information. The rabbi told her she was going to see yeshuot . And she should continue with happiness and, if need be, go to whatever hospital this doctor was suggesting. She went there a few weeks later, already in the beginning of her ninth month. They did a full day’s worth of testing on her, and, at the end of the day, a team of doctors came into her room, asking if she knew of the baby’s status. She told them she knew about the large mass and that when the baby would be born, they would have to put a trachea, followed by a surgery to remove the mass. They told her that was no longer a possibility. Unfortunately, it got much worse. The mass got so big, it started eating away at the baby’s head. At this point, the baby had only one eye and no nose and a portion of the head was missing. They told her they needed to schedule an emergency C-section and there was no longer any chance for the baby’s survival. The only goal in the C-section was to save the mother, but they would not deal with the baby at all. She said, “What if the baby looks like it could survive?” The doctors said, “It’s impossible. We’re not treating it.” She said, “I have hope. Could you please try to save him?” The doctor said, “My nickname is Hope. They call me Dr. Hope. I’m telling you, there is no hope.” With that, they scheduled the C-section for two days later. For the next two days, she cried over and over to Hashem, asking Him to please show everyone that there is a G-d in the world. The woman called the rabbi in tears and the rabbi, once again, reassured her that everything was going to be okay and gave her chizuk to continue on with strength. He said, “Don’t give up on Hashem now. It doesn’t matter what the doctors say, it’s all Him. אין עוד מלבדו .” She went in two days later for the C-section. And when they took the baby out, they just threw it on the mother without cleaning it or caring for it. She held her newborn and looked at it and saw a beautiful baby with two eyes and a nose and a mouth. She said, “Look! He has a face.” But the entire team just stood there with their arms folded saying, “There is nothing we can do, he’s not going to make it.” Then a nurse approached holding a large needle to give the baby morphine to put him to sleep. “Please don’t touch my baby!” She yelled. “Please, Hashem, save my son!” She said Shema Yisrael out loud and then she said, “ ה' הוא האלוקים !” And then, “ אין עוד מלבדו !” And then she said out loud, “There is a G-d in this world! Please, Hashem, show them who You are!” Everyone just stood there in silence. Meanwhile, the baby was breathing on his own now already for ten minutes, despite the enormous mass coming out of his neck. They kept telling her, any minute the breathing is going to stop, and he is going to pass. Then the baby opened his eyes and she yelled, “Please help!” But they all had strict orders not to touch the baby. Then the baby started making noises and cried and they realized there was potential for survival. They quickly called in the surgeon who was utterly shocked. He said he never saw a teratoma of that size before. And he couldn’t believe the baby was breathing. Babies with teratoma’s a quarter of that size generally don’t make it, and this baby was still breathing on his own. He said, “I am proud to say that I was wrong and now we are going to do everything in our power to save him.” They performed a surgery a few days later and successfully removed the mass. Baruch Hashem, they eventually released this baby from the hospital, who is now at home with his family. Everything is possible because Hashem runs the world and nothing is beyond Him. It is up to us to always believe in His salvations.
