Back to the hospital since 13 Oct 2005

Hi,

I was unable to post updates until today...much have happened since the last posting - David was requested to be admitted last Wed when he felt unwell. He felt a tightness in his chest, felt extremely tired because he could not sleep well and was very weak when he informed Dr William last week.

When he told me the news, I was scheduled to leave for US on my business trip from 14Oct to 23Oct and did not know if I should cancel my trip. I did not know what to do and desperately seeked the Lord for guidance. When his doctor confirmed that his condition was due to bad sinusitis and high toxicity in his body due to the drugs and steriods prescribed to treat his infection. David told me that he may be discharged after a couple of days of treatment and observation, I had the peace to continue with my trip.

It has been 5 days since and I am now in North Carolina - thousands of miles away from home and David is still in the hospital. The last sms I received from him yesterday mentioned that he could not be discharged yet..."Need for lungs and toxicity to clear. Seeing lung specialist tomorrow to see if it is due to GVHD. There are some lytic lesions on spine too. Psalm 6 God will answer our prayer for deliverance." I wish I could fly back immediately to just be with him and Josh even if I could ont do anything to help. But he added "No need. Not that serious. Am better. In very good hands here. Focus on your work as you pray in faith. Suffering is part of the christian calling Phillipians 1:29. Josh is very good. Spent almost whole day with your mum yesterday. Stay focused on God's promises and truths. Phillipians 4:8. Take care."

Please pray with us prayers of faith for mercy and deliverance!

God is with us,
