Read how Woman who shared pregnancy joy after 17 years in critical care after baby born at 24 weeks



Remember the woman who became an online
star after her emotional pregnancy
announcement went viral? Well she is
fighting for life after her baby was born
dangerously premature.
Dana Griffin-Graves was delighted to be able
to tell husband Arkell that they were expecting
a baby after 17 years of trying.
The couple, both 41, had been left devastated
after suffering four miscarriages and a
stillbirth.
Dana, from Dinwiddie County, Virginia,
surprised her hubby with news they were
expecting a baby boy in February.
But just three weeks after the video went viral,
son Kaleb Arkell Graves had to be delivered at
only 24 weeks.
Dana surprised her husband with the news by
placing the baby scan and several buns in her
kitchen's oven.
A caption alongside the video, which was
uploaded by Dana GG, reads: "Have your
tissues ready!
"After 4 miscarriages and 1 stillborn birth, we
had given up on the idea of having babies of
our own, especially at our age...But God!"
The news sent Arkell into tears of joy and was
later seen by more than 10 million people.
Dana is now in critical care, according to a
post on the couple's Facebook page.
Arkell wrote: "Today, our baby will have to
be delivered, at 24 weeks and one day.
"As Dana is in critical care, her body has
endured all it can take. We are believing
God. It's always been in His Hands, so we
hold on to Him.
"Please keep us in your prayers today
and always. We apologize that we are
unable to answer every call, text and
message, but please know that we
appreciate you.
"Help us thank Him in advance for the
miracle that is about to happen.
