A need for another miracle
One more thing before I head back, since I need your prayers. Yesterday, we had a boy come in who was comatose and they had no history in the family of what happened or how long he had been like that. His family speaks another language and we don't always have that translator here. So, here we go. Well, first thought was he could have fallen from a mango tree, but his family denied that. Second thought was meningitis, so we start antibiotics immediately covering malaria, typhoid, and other common causes. Third thought when I checked his blood pressure and pulse was cushing's triad, when you have a high blood pressure and low pulse, which he had, explaining cerebral edema or increased intracranial pressure maybe due to a mass in his head. We started steroids. There is no way to image his head here to see inside it. We don't have extensive labs available either. You honestly rely on God giving you intuition and by recognizing the clinical exam. You pray. He is not responsive to pain. Anyway, I believe in miracles! So, let's pray for him. May the Lord's will be done.

Another complex case, not too complex for God, but requiring, as you said, the true prayer in faith for His miraculous healing! Again, we ask and trust the Lord to hear our prayers in faith and to use the spiritual gifts He has given your team. We join you all in a childlike faith believing wholeheartly in God's miraculous power of healing--all for His glory alone! May the family be also transformed!
ReplyDelete14Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
James 5:13-16.
Zsi, thank you for sharing more opportunities to lift to the Lord. We ask for His will in all things. I hope you will have great news about the boy tomorrow!
Love you,
Mom
