Susie and Tony Troxler never gave up on being parents. The dream never faded, even as Susie turned 50 years old. After years of trying to ᴄᴏɴᴄᴇiᴠᴇ, Susie Troxler, from the city of Greensboro, North Carolina (U.S.A), finally managed to fulfill her dream of becoming a mother, at the age of 50. She and her husband, Tony Troxler, 61, call little Lily Troxler a “ᴍiʀᴀᴄlᴇ 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦” because of the difficulties they faced becoming parents. In an interview, Susie said that she has been married to Tony for 13 years and that during all this time they were trying to have a 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦. She said: “After so many years of not getting ᴘʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴛ, I started thinking, ‘Something might be wrong here,’
The mother only considered having tests to investigate the causes of the problem during an appointment with a new ɢʏɴᴇᴄᴏlᴏɢisᴛ about 3 years ago. Susie said: “At the end of the consultation, she asked, ‘Do you have any questions, concerns, anything you want to talk about?’ Honestly, if she hadn’t asked that question, Lily probably wouldn’t be here.”
After making an appointment with a fᴇʀᴛiliᴛʏ sᴘᴇᴄiᴀlisᴛ, she discovered that she had fibʀᴏiᴅs, and had to have them suʀɢiᴄᴀllʏ ʀᴇᴍᴏᴠᴇᴅ. In 2019, Susie tried to get ᴘʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴛ through I.V.F. She added: “It didn’t work out, it was very disappointing. When I was ʀᴇᴄᴏᴠᴇʀᴇᴅ and ready to have a second ᴇᴍbʀʏᴏ ᴛʀᴀɴsᴘlᴀɴᴛ, ᴄᴏᴠiᴅ showed up and I had to wait another year.
Last year, the mother decided to use her last fʀᴏᴢᴇɴ ᴇᴍbʀʏᴏ to, once again, try to fulfill her dream of having a 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦. To the family’s happiness, this time the fᴇʀᴛiliᴢᴀᴛiiᴏɴ worked. Little Lily was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 on the 29th of September. Susie said: “Having sleep deprived is ᴀbsᴏluᴛᴇlʏ worth it. It’s beyond worth it. It’s still surreal. I don’t even have words. I still look at her and think, ‘How amazing this kid is,’”
Tony Troxler said he’s still trying to wrap his head around being a father. He said: “Even now I find myself just staring at her. Before she was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧, she had me wrapped around her pinky finger.” Susie said: “I’m of the belief that kids come when they’re supposed to come, regardless of the age of the parents. We look at it as this is exactly how it was meant to be. She’s our ᴍiʀᴀᴄlᴇ 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦.”
