New mom Aberli Spear gave birth to daughter Judah Grace Spear on Feb. 22, 2022 (2/2/2022), at 2:22 a.m. on the dot. Not only that, but the delivery happened in the hospital’s labor and delivery room No. 2.
“Today is an extra special ‘twos-day’ for this newborn and her family!“Cone Health Alamance Regional Medical Centerwrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday. “Judah Grace Spear was born on 2/22/22 at 2:22 a.m. at Alamance Regional Medical Center – in labor and delivery room 2!”
According to the hospital, Aberli is a survivor ofHodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system that inhibits the body’s ability to fight off infection.
The treatments Aberli underwent lessened the chances that she and her partner, Hank Spear, could expect children, Cone Health explained. Typical treatment options for the disease include chemotherapy and radiation, according to theAmerican Cancer Society. Immunotherapy can also be used in certain cases.

“But the family continued to pray for a little one – and today their prayer was answered!” they added.
“Judah” means “praise,” a name that “fits her story perfectly,” the hospital explained.
“She is a blessing for her family!” they continued in their Facebook post. “We are so happy for this sweet family! Happy birthday, Judah Grace!
Grandma Kristi Engelbrecht toldWFMYthat Aberli’s cancer battle lasted six years up until 2020.
“Judah is a reminder of all things good, God’s promises kept, and a community pulling together for the good of one another,” Engelbrecht told the news station, which reported that Aberli and Judah are in good health.
When written numerically, 2/22/22 is also a palindrome, which is read the same way forward and backward.
