Gideon Yobo, the younger brother of footballer Joseph Yobo and his wife, Blessing, have welcomed their first child, a boy whom they have christened Caleb G.I.D Williamson Yobo. The couple got married on June 27th last year in Liverpool, England.

Before getting pregnant, 23 year old Blessing had been diagnosed with lupus, an incurable illness affecting the immune system. She was advised not to get pregnant. And when she got pregnant, doctors in the UK where she resides with her husband, told her that her pregnancy will not go beyond 14 weeks.

They were advised to terminate the pregnancy at the 10th week.

Paul Howard, a projects manager at Lipus UK says

“The risks for complications during the pregnancy, such as a miscarriage, are real. If the lupus is active, there is an increased chance of a flare-up during pregnancy, which can lead to foetal loss and the mother risking her own health. We would advise people not to get pregnant until their lupus is under control. Lupus is a very varied condition, and the fact that there is a better understanding now of the risks during pregnancy is increasing the likelihood of cases such as this one having a happy ending. But, it certainly sounds like this couple have been extremely lucky. We wouldn’t advise high-risk pregnancies with active lupus, as having a healthy mum and baby is definitely against the odds, especially for someone with kidney problems. But stories like this do happen, and they are wonderful to hear” he said.

There is a God who formed us, He is the balm in Gilead. When you get to your wit end, that's when He steps in. Whose report will you believe? I love the fact that they didn't give in to the Doctors' report. His word never fails, it stands sure forever.

Congratulations Gideon and Blessing, that's a miracle Child you have there. Bless the Lord.
