Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this : to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. -James 1:27

Update on Nellie

Many have asked so this might be the easiest way to answer all of you at the same time about how NELLIE is doing…

Last I heard, yesterday she had another operation, but it was not necessary to open the whole skull this time. The problem is that puss has built up on her brain from an infection that she got in her sinuses (and apparently the infection has not died yet) and the puss had returned. There is still a piece of her skull that will not be replaced until the swelling goes down.

She is doing remarkably better than she was, and started eating food again and can move her right arm. But she is still not speaking. I hear that the area of the brain affected was the part that controls speech and the right arm area.

So, overall prayer warriors continue battling because the miracle is not yet fully complete. Pray for endurance and rest and health for Edward and wife as they are so stressed I am sure. And pray the Lord’s covering and provision at LCH as our administrator has been out for a while now. He is present and working at LCH and at the hospital. Praise Him for that!

Thank you Natalie for the update on Nellie. I know Edward and Harriet must be exhausted and worried like no other. Please assure them that there are prayer teams praying for the whole family. And give them our love also... Love you also...
