“She wasn’t breathing didn’t have a pulse.”
That’s how singer Colton Dixon recalls the 2020 birth of his daughter, Ava, telling CBN News how he and his wife, Annie, reacted as doctors rushed to save their child.
“Not the way you want to meet your daughter for the first time,” Dixon said. “What’s so wild is my wife did so well the pregnancy and we got to the Hospital, she went into labor naturally, and doctors and nurses were monitoring everything.”
But as the situation unfolded, doctors realized they needed to perform a C-section to ensure the couple’s twins were safely born. And that’s when the situation took a turn.
“Since it had taken so long, little Ava Dior, she had made her way into the birth canal and her body just didn’t know what to do with all of that,” Dixon said. “So her body shut down. So when she came out, she wasn’t breathing, didn’t have a pulse — and it was terrifying.”
Ultimately, in those earth-shaking moments, Dixon said he and his wife were faced with a “Faith or fear decision,” with the duo choosing to lean into the former over the latter.
“My wife and I both, we started to pray and believe that God is who He says He is, and He’s still a God of miracles,” Dixon said. “And watched as the doctors and nurses worked on our little girl just beside us there.”
He continued, “And whether it was God reaching down and touching her or working through those … doctors and nurses, we saw little Ava Dior start to breathe and have a pulse.”
