update on nephew

For those who are praying, my nephew is at a specialist children's hospital in Birmingham. He has been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia, a perforated diaphragm, and severe malnutrition. He is awaiting an operation as the hernia is putting pressure on his stomach and lungs and causing his inability to keep food down.

I am saddened it took so long to diagnose this, as the prolonged process has led to the malnutition and suffering of my little nephew which could have been avoided. He is very lethargic, and we hope he will be operated on within the next two days.

Thank you for your prayers, please keep praying!

Continue to pray for you and for your family in this distress.

His oath, His covenant and blood,
Support me in the 'whelming flood:
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

He has to put on weight before they will operate.
He is still at Birmingham hospital as their local hospital doesn't have the specialised staff for his direct feeding tube.
My mum and dad say he smiled and was far more active than he has been, which is a blessing and a step the right direction.

Please keep on praying.


Lord. I hear of showers of blessing
Thou are scattering, full and free,
Showers the thirsty land refreshing;
Let some drops now fall on me.
Even me
