Testimony from "Rivanolito"

Rivanolito is the nickname by which many know this young man of 15 years in a major hospital in Cuba. It is an ordinary kid, except for the detail of his nickname.

It happened that this young man's mother had more than 35 years of age and had grown children when this pregnancy. For all this, and the possibility that the child has any congenital malformation or other abnormality such as Down syndrome, the doctor advised an abortion. Thus the mother decided to submit to Rivanol, a method of late interruption of pregnancy is to administer to pregnant women through the cervix with a probe, a mustard-yellow substance called Rivanol, which produces strong contractions and causes expulsion of the child outside the womb. Often this is born alive and crying.

But it happened that the day that this lady was subjected to the method, the regular nurse that room was not working and instead was another who had no experience in this kind of work. It was so when the nurse saw that the woman drove the product of conception "(which is like in that environment are referred to aborted babies), and heard her crying, did not the usual case, it is to abandon the for their child to die quickly pulmonary immaturity. Touched by her cries, ran with him into the arms of the Department of Neonatal Intensive Care where, coincidentally, was on duty on a pro-life doctor who gave the child the proper treatment.

Rivanolito is now a teenager attending high school, only in mild asthma and continue to see the doctor who saved him from death.

God cares for human beings. Always with the souls who need love .... and ask company.
