Day Nine-Good News


Samara is really sweating at night and we called a nurse just to proof as they have been saying we aren’t putting air conditioner on or we  are covering her..weird because she doesn't sweat the other times. Samara wakes up about 3 a.m. but today she woke up at 5.30am. ate a banana played abit and slept…The doctor came and we mentioned and he said maybe her lungs are adjusting, We had the stitches removed and Samara cried and cried..the nurses threw us out of room and we could just hear baby girls screams. I went in later and for first time so her scar..not sure how to explain it. 

Well after a few minutes we were given that medicine for sedating her which never works immediately and after 15-20minutes she slept after a few songs she sang along to. The echo went well, we finally saw the four chambers, doctors were happy, sent us for ECG and Xray and all systems seem to say go. We are so grateful to God, again its been a journey and we pray that God walks with us all the way. Sam is still very sleepy and didn’t even eat well..think its after effects of the sedative. We have started looking for guest house coz doc said we maybe discharged Sunday and our flight is early Friday morning.Can't wait to be out of hospital..we have so much to be grateful for..we hear and see people outside ICU.their babies haven’t come out since surgery coz of fever etc..God thank you.

The highlight of the evening was a hot nice meal we ate at the restaurant at the retreat. It was so refreshing to eat chapiti with vegetable stew and hot tea with milk.

Unconditional love

As I went home last yesterday, I heard the song 'In harms way'  by BeBe Winans, Rhett Lawrence, Margaret Bell-Byars. When listening to music, I want to know the lyrics,what the song is communicating and how it applies in my life. This song reminds me of God's unconditional love, even when I do not deserve it, even when I have given up , even when he knows all He knows about me, he doesn't let go of me. That is just amazing. Undying love you've given to me Seen in me things I would never have seen I don't understand why you care so much, it's all a mystery Time and time again I ask myself What have I done to deserve such wealth The price you paid, I could never repay your generosity Chorus: In wanting to save me In order to save the day Because of love you placed yourself In harm's way It's truly beyond me Left without a word to say What kind of love would place itself In harm's way? What kind of love would place itself In harm...

My Journey with Caleb's Family

A friend requested me to share my story on the journey we walked with Caleb's family. So below is a very long blog on that over 1 month. Am not sure what is in store for us ahead but this far it has been God. After our experience with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) through our daughter Samara, I felt within me a call to look for people to partner with regarding kids with heart issues. So In January this year, I checked the net and bumped into a local NGO. The organization basically deals with kids with heart defects from poor families. I thought it was a noble call and contacted the organization. They were fast to respond and I visited them alone and over the weekend on a Saturday with my family. On the Saturday we went, we met Caleb and his parents. This was end of January and they were discussing with the founder of the organization about how to raise airfare for them to travel to India, first week of February. I held Caleb briefly in my arms and his mum kept saying one day her...

Atrial Septal Defect

Atrial septal defect (ASD), is a heart condition that can affect kids. Normal Heart Function To understand an ASD, it helps to know how the heart works. The heart has four chambers. The lower chambers of the heart are called the ventricles: a left ventricle and a right ventricle. The upper chambers are the atria and there are two— a left atrium and a right atrium. You may already know that your heart is a muscle that pumps blood throughout your body. In a person without a heart defect, blue blood that's low in oxygen flows first to the right atrium, then to the right ventricle, and is then pumped to the lungs to receive oxygen. The red oxygen-rich blood then returns to the left atrium, flows from there into the left ventricle, and heads out to the body through the aorta, a large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the smaller blood vessels in the body. Between the right and left atria is a wall called the septum that...
