Legs no longer deformed

Georgia Dearborn

The morning after our son Jamie was born, I awoke to find three doctors surrounding my bed in the hospital. They informed me that after examining the baby, they were concerned that his legs and hips were somewhat deformed and too wide apart. They said that without corrective surgery, he might not be able to walk normally. Though they didn’t insist that the surgery be done immediately, they recommended going ahead with it.

I thanked them for their concern. Then I called my mother, a Christian Scientist, who was at our home caring for our family, and told her what the doctors had said. Her response was that I should come home. And so I did.

Jamie was a good-natured, happy baby. As my husband and I prayed daily for our family, we never saw Jamie as anything less than God’s perfectly formed and fully capable child. We had learned in Christian Science that God is the true Parent of us all and that man is God’s perfect image and likeness (see Genesis 1:26, 27). We expected healing as the natural outcome of our prayer.
