Small miracles

I was at the pool this afternoon, talking with two nurses and a pharmacist about two of our smallest patients.  One was a five year old with pneumonia, and the other was a baby with RSV.  Both of these children ended up on the ship at exactly the right time.

The oxygen and supplies showed up on the ship two days before anyone knew that they would be needed.  Because of the lack of medical care in their communities, neither child would have survived. Both are now doing well!   The baby with RSV will go home for a month to get stronger before she is admitted for her surgery.

We don't always understand God's miracles.There is a baby at the Hope Center who will not have surgery for her large facial tumor, because she would not survive the surgery.  They are treating her by trying to cut off the blood supply to the tumor.  The young mom is reassured that she is a good mother, doing all she can for her child.
