WOMAN WHO SHARED PREGNANCY JOY AFTER 17YRS IN CRITICAL CARE AFTER BABY BORN AT 24WKS

 

 Remember the woman who became an online star after her emotional pregnancy announcement went viral?  Well she is fighting for life after her baby was born dangerously premature.

Dana Griffin-Graves was delighted to be able to tell husband Arkell that they were expecting a baby after 17 years of trying.

The couple, both 41, had been left devastated after suffering four miscarriages and a stillbirth.

Dana, from Dinwiddie County, Virginia, surprised her hubby with news they were expecting a baby boy in February.
But just three weeks after the video went viral, son Kaleb Arkell Graves had to be delivered at only 24 weeks.
Dana surprised her husband with the news by placing the baby scan and several buns in her kitchen's oven.
A caption alongside the video, which was uploaded by Dana GG, reads: "Have your tissues ready!
"After 4 miscarriages and 1 stillborn birth, we had given up on the idea of having babies of our own, especially at our age...But God!"

The news sent Arkell into tears of joy and was later seen by more than 10 million people.

Dana is now in critical care, according to a post on the couple's Facebook page.

Arkell wrote: "Today, our baby will have to be delivered, at 24 weeks and one day.

"As Dana is in critical care, her body has endured all it can take. We are believing God. It's always been in His Hands, so we hold on to Him.

 "Please keep us in your prayers today and always. We apologize that we are unable to answer every call, text and message, but please know that we appreciate you.

"Help us thank Him in advance for the miracle that is about to happen. #‎DeliveryDay #‎KeepPraying"
