Esoteric Bowl

Around a month ago I mentioned that Amber (my niece) was due to have her first child. On the 3rd of November in California, Brayden arrived at 1:49 pm, weighing in at 7 pounds 11 ounces. Mom was present at Amber’s delivery, and the following is an interesting tale of what she witnessed.

After Brayden had come into the world, it was discovered that some of the amniotic fluid had gotten into his nose and mouth and some of the fluid had been swallowed. Mom and Amber both watched as a nurse, a Hawaiian woman wearing a floral print, held baby in her arms and proceeded to stike his back to clear his lungs. Mom said she felt a strange comfort in seeing Brayden in the hands of this woman, and she turned to Amber to assure her that everything would be alright.

When Mom turned back towards Brayden, his lungs were clear and he was now in the arms of another nurse. The Hawaiian woman was gone. Mom asked the nurse who the Hawaiian nurse was, and the nurse told her that she had never seen the woman before.

Shortly after, Mom roamed the halls of the ward looking to find the Hawaiian woman. She never found her. Later on that evening when dinner was brought to Amber’s bedside, on her tray were two mysterious orchids.
