All in a night's work

I had an exciting night shift the other night! One of my patients was a little boy who is here for burn contracture release. Anyway, anyone under age 15 needs to have a caregiver with them. His caregiver was his mother who happened to be 8months pregnant.
When I started my night shift, around 10pm, I had seen her walk to the bathroom and the thought quickly flashed in my mind "wouldn't it be cool if she had the baby on the ship" no sooner did it enter my brain it was gone and I didn't think of it again...
Well around 2am she came to me to tell me that she was having pain in her abdomen. I wanted to be clear about this so I grabbed a translator to make sure these pains where not what she felt when she gave birth before. No it was not, she said. Ok, gave her a warm pack and some Tylenol and tucked her back into bed. When I checked on her a little over an hour later she had just "wet the bed." Was it urine, I asked...Nope it wasn't. Oh, man, we're having a baby!
We called the doctor to come and also a midwife we just happen to have on board. Mandy, is a ward nurse but works as a midwife back at home. So we called her cabin around 4am to get her out of bed to come help deliver this baby!
We had no time to think of getting this woman moved anywhere because when Mandy checked her you could already see the baby's dark curly hair. So, I was able to assist Mandy in the delivery of this perfect, beautiful little girl.
It happened so fast that I was still in awe when I headed off to bed that morning. When I woke up that afternoon I just had to go and visit our new member to make sure I hadn't dreamt the whole thing.
I found the mother and baby well and happy and comfortable. Things couldn't have gone more smoothly. More evidence of God's provision (what are the chances of having a midwife on board?) and sovereignty.
Can you guess what the mother named her? Mercy. She said so that she will not forget us...I had to laugh because we will not be forgetting her any time soon either.
