Praise the Lord!!!!

Our dear helper Ros who absolutely adores our dear little one Jeremiah and cares for him while i work called and excitedly tells me

"Jere can stand! Jere can stand! He pulls himself up from the sofa!!!!"

even for a split second.... that's great news for us!

Now! is that good news or what??? Of coz that's good news! Praise the Lord! Alleluia!!!!!

Jere is now 13 and half months and yeah, most kids would be walking at this age and if some of you still do not know, most drs kinda pin the fate down for spina bifida children saying these children either never walk or walk with walking aids.
Jere is crawling as a form of transportation still.... doubles up when he thinks you are coming after him and Well, for me, i believe with God, faith and love all around, Jere's gonna do things that people never ever achieved! He's not just gonna walk, he's gonna run, skip jump and dance for the Lord! AMEN!

i can do all things through God who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13)

How's Jeremiah?

Still sounds phlegmy and congested, but he's active and all over the place.

Now crawling (the commando crawl) is his main form of transportation. we try to make the floor very much a way of his life so he can cover enough "mileage" soon and move to the next step we call creeping (crawling the quadruped way).

Praise the Lord for these milestones and we pray that his flu will just leave him soon.

Micturating Cystogram (MCU in short) - postponed

Jere had a little runny nose since saturday evening and so i called kkh to postpone the test as i did not wanna subject him to any risk of infection since he was having a flu and his resistance could be low.
Postponed.... to when??? till he gets better then we call to get another date.
so now, we just pray that jere's nose will get better soon, in Jesus' name we pray. AMEN.

Micturating Cystogram (MCU in short)

One year ago, last year Aug 1, Tues Jere had this test....
Micturating Cystogram (MCU in short)
This was what I was told. A fine tube will be put through the urethra (the hole thru which urine is passed) with a special solution running slowly thru the fine tube into the bladder. x rays films are taken by the radiologist during and after the procedure. i remember i was crying throughout the procedure as Jere screamed and cried coz it certainly was not as easy as it sounded. Poor baby was strapped into a weird "space craft" and the machine turned turned turned.... certainly scary to the baby.

About 1 year later tomorrow, Jere will be doing this test again to assess progress.
Pray for Jere to be filled with the Lord's peace as he goes through this tomorrow and me too as i hold him down and comfort him.
