Update - 10 May 2010

Our first reaction to Lizzie's decreasing oxygen level was to meet her cardiologist immediately to come up with a remedial plan for LIzzie. However, after calming down a little, we decided that the first thing to do is not to run to anyone but God. We will keep the appointment on 24 May so that we can pray for her.

We are more vigilant in monitoring Lizzie's condition and are taking readings of her oxygen everyday. We noticed that it is lower when she is awake, at around 68 to 74%. When she sleeps, her oxygen level is higher at around 78 to 82%. We are collating this data to meet her cardiologist on 24 May.

Please therefore pray that in the short term, Lizzie's oxygen level will improve, especially during her waking hours when she is quite active (as a 4-year-old) so that her cardiologist and surgeons will not immediately require her to go under the knife. And, for the longer term, for God to heal her of this heart condition so that the need for a major operation will pass by her, not just this time, but for good.
