Please Pray

On March 30th of this year a doctor in China diagnosed Audrey with Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart disease. As far as detailed info from China, we do not have much. We had spoken to a Pediatric Cardiologist here in the states when we first received her referral. The doctor said, based on the info we had been given, he couldn’t tell us much more and we would know the extent of her heart defect when seen by a Pediatric Cardiologist when we get her home.

That is today at 9:30am. I meant to post this yesterday, but didn’t get the opportunity.

We have been told that this is the most common heart defect in children, but it is not minor. The doctor we spoke to here said it could be corrected with one surgery and never have a problem again or she could have multiple surgeries with little to no effect.

Please join us in praying that the doctor today runs the test and says, “We didn’t find any evidence of this condition. Her heart is fine.” This would mean either the doctors in China were incorrect or God intervened. I believe if this happens it will be because God heals her heart. This obviously is our first prayer.

If she does have this condition, please pray that it is as minor as it can be and that all treatment will be successful.

From the time we received her referral, we’ve had no doubts that God has chosen her as our daughter, regardless of any “special need”, and we have had no doubt that God has her heart, her lip and every one her needs in His hands. Please pray that we continue to be this faithful.

I will report back later how the appointment goes and what the test results are. Thank you for your prayers.
