Dear friends, Thank for your encouragements, well-wishes and prayers these past months. Elaine and I are holding up strong and praying everyday for Lizzie. I also welcome those who just joined this webpage. May our testimony help to bring you closer to God. Today is the 28th July. Lizzie's expected delivery date (EDD) is 27 August. We have exactly 1 month.
I humbly ask for your prayers in the following areas:
1. In the last scan by the Antenatal Diagnostic Centre specialist, Lizzie is small for her age (34 weeks). The specialist has scheduled another scan this coming Thursday to determine if Lizzie is in distress. If she is, they will want to induce labour and bring her out earlier. We do not want her in the incubator. Elaine wants to carry her to full term and allow each part of her body to grow to properly. Please pray that God will make her grow to normal size, so that there will not be any pre-term delivery.
2. In the last scan in Gleneagles, the paediatric cardiologist told us there is no improvement. The hole in her heart (VSD) is enlarged and the artery leading from the lung to the heart (pulmonary artery)is small and hardly visible. He will not see Lizzie again until after the birth.
From the lessons in the bible and many personal testimonies of God's deliverance, I've learnt that God comes when you least expect it and at a time when His actions speaks the loudest. While we only have 1 month left, He only needs a moment to heal my child. I have also learnt that in Jesus' time, everyone who came to Jesus was healed.He is our Healer, our loving and compassionate Saviour and our Deliverer. I do not doubt Jesus will heal Lizzie, only a matter of His perfect time.
3. As I mentioned, Lizzie is also diagnosed with Digeorge's Syndrome. Elaine and I have been praying that this syndrome (as well as Fallot and/or Taussig Bing Syndromes) will be removed in Jesus' name. We continue to believe that the name of Jesus is greater than any other names, including the names of these syndromes and so these syndromes will be removed. Please pray for the removal of these syndromes from Lizzie. I know I am asking a lot from you. These are our desperate prayers to God and we asked that if you can, pray not just for us, but with us for Lizzie. Your prayers are the greatest thing you can do for us and we thank you.
May God bless you. With heartfelt thanks, Simon & Elaine
