Maria was a 28-year-old woman with 5 months of pregnancy walking the steep street with great heaviness and difficulty, in addition to the discomfort of her pregnancy by the heavy bag she was carrying in her hands. While walking I thought:

God, what am I going to do, is killing this asthma attack, I can not control it, I feel like I'm going to die at any moment.

That night when she got home, she told her husband Felipe:

Tomorrow morning, please, I want you to take me to the doctor, because, I really do not know what to do with asthma, besides I am extremely worried about the amount of medication I have taken, I feel that in some way they can affect to the baby.

Felipe told him:

Quiet my love, tomorrow we will go first thing, so that the doctor will examine you, do not worry that everything will turn out well, with the favor of God.

The next day the husbands left for the doctor's office. When he arrived he received them kindly, greeting Felipe, since he knew him because he was the person arranging the vehicle to the doctor, because Felipe was a mechanic.

Hello, go ahead.

Felipe and María brought him, the recipes, which included the medications she had been consuming for the treatment of asthma, in addition to others recommended by a family member.
The doctor listened carefully and proceeded to examine the patient.
After examining it carefully, he put on his glasses and began to scribble on a sheet on the desk, reviewed a book and was consulting several notes. The spouses waited impatiently for the doctor's diagnosis.

Friends, I do not have good news, pregnancy at first sight does not present any problem, everything indicates that it is okay, but the medicines that María has been taking to control asthma, are counterproductive in pregnancy and I fear that they have affected the fetus. Therefore, as a friend I would recommend that you do not have it, but as a doctor I can not really recommend that. It is a decision that you, the parents, must make.

Maria began to cry, Saying:

But doctor, it's not possible, is not there something that can be done to prevent my child from abortion? No doctor, I do not want to abort it, I want to have my son !!!

Felipe took his wife's hand and squeezed it affectionately.

The doctor replied:

Unfortunately, the medicines that you have taken in one way or another have affected the fetus and there is a risk that it may come with a problem, it may be born deaf, blind, or paralytic, etc.

The spouses, very sorry, said goodbye to the doctor.

Maria did not stop crying all the way until they got to the house.

Already at home, Felipe told him:

No Maria, you're not going to abort it, we're going to have our son. In the name of God, against all odds, I have faith that everything will turn out well.
We are going to pray and pray to Doctor José Gregorio Hernández to intercede before God for our baby and for us, you will see that everything will turn out well.

The remaining 4 months of the pregnancy passed and Maria had her child, a beautiful baby of good weight, and good size. Jose Gregorio was named by name, in honor of the Saint. But with the passing of time they could notice that the child was a little distracted, at school he did not do homework, he fell asleep, he just wanted to play and nothing else. But despite this apparent distraction, the baby showed signs of great intelligence and notorious abilities.

Felipe, bought a scale brass car that looked like a normal car, and also bought other cars his other brothers his two brothers Juan and Pedro, who after a while had already destroyed their two toys, contrary to José Gregorio, who I disarmed it and armed it as I wanted, I maintained it and took care of it.

Felipe and María, decided not to force or force their son as far as what was referred to study, was how the boy barely managed to finish the baccalaureate, and devoted himself to work with his father repairing the vehicles in the workshop. And so he learned and mastered the craft of mechanics, surprising his father, as in a short time he went from being his assistant to being an excellent mechanic, far surpassing his teacher.

After about 25 years, from that visit that Felipe and María made to their doctor, Felipe happened to meet the Doctor, whom he had not seen anymore, because the doctor had left the town, since he had moved to the capital to conduct studies, and they did not see it again.

Philip, when he saw him, greeted him affectionately: and he said:

Hello doctor How are you, do you remember me?

Wow, of course, if it's worth it, how can you not remember Felipe, if you were my mechanic, who was in charge of repairing the car when I was injured?

Doctor, do you remember that case of my wife who was pregnant and at that time, you recommended that we could not have it that she should have an abortion because of the problem she had with asthma and the medicines she was taking?

Of course Felipe, how can you not remember, it really was a very painful thing, to have had to say that?

Well Doctor, let me tell you that we did not follow your recommendation, she did not abort it and she had it; and today that child is already a man. He was not very studious, but he is very skilled, he is a man whose damaged electrical appliance is taken to him, be it a fan, a blender, a telephone, Etc. and he repairs it. Besides that he is a tremendous mechanic and electrician.

The doctor then told Felipe:

Caramba Felipe, I'm really glad you did well, that's definitely a miracle, because there is a high percentage of children born with problems, because they are affected during pregnancy, by medicines taken by mothers. And your son is one of those miraculous cases.

Felipe replied:

Yes doctor is definitely a miracle. that's why we call him José Gregorio, in honor of Dr. José Gregorio Hernández, for having granted us that miracle.
