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.

The Special Mother
by Erma Bombeck
Most women become mothers by accident, some by choice, a few by social pressures and a couple by habit.
This year nearly 100,000 women will become mothers of handicapped children. Did you ever wonder how mothers of handicapped children are chosen?
Somehow I visualize God hovering over earth selecting his instruments for propagation with great care and deliberation. As He observes, He instructs His angels to make notes in a giant ledger.
"Armstrong, Beth; son. Patron saint...give her Gerard. He's used to profanity."
"Forrest, Marjorie; daughter. Patron saint, Cecelia."
"Rutledge, Carrie; twins. Patron saint, Matthew."
Finally He passes a name to an angel and smiles, "Give her a handicapped child."
The angel is curious. "Why this one God? She's so happy."
"Exactly," smiles God, "Could I give a handicapped child to a mother who does not know laughter? That would be cruel."
"But has she patience?" asks the angel.
"I don't want her to have too much patience or she will drown in a sea of self-pity and despair. Once the shock and resentment wears off, she'll handle it."
"I watched her today. She has that feeling of self and independence that is so rare and so necessary in a mother. You see, the child I'm going to give her has her own world. She has to make her live in her world and that's not going to be easy."
"But, Lord, I don't think she even believes in you." God smiles, "No matter, I can fix that. This one is perfect - she has just enough selfishness." The angel gasps - "selfishness? is that a virtue?"
God nods. "If she can't separate herself from the child occasionally, she'll never survive. Yes, here is a woman whom I will bless with a child less than perfect. She doesn't realize it yet, but she is to be envied. She will never take for granted a 'spoken word'". She will never consider a "step" ordinary. When her child says 'Momma' for the first time, she will be present at a miracle, and will know it!"
"I will permit her to see clearly the things I see...ignorance, cruelty, prejudice....and allow her to rise above them. She will never be alone. I will be at her side every minute of every day of her life, because she is doing My work as surely as if she is here by My side".
"And what about her Patron saint?" asks the angel, his pen poised in mid-air.
God smiles, "A mirror will suffice."
