Baby M - Beautiful

Baby M came out of surgery at 10 yesterday morning. He is so brave. The doctors removed the access skin on his face and he is BEAUTIFUL. He has a perfect nose, and two beautiful brown eyes. I praise our Lord!

Please pray that the infection was cleaned out and that Baby M will recover fast. Thank you for all your prayers!

Baby M (update)

After almost a week after the operation Baby M is doing better.

Infection occurred in the last couple of days so the doctors started him on antibiotics. He is currently back on tube feeding. According to Ria his right side (of head/face) is very swollen. Please pray for this little guys. He is a miracle at four months and we trust God for an amazing future, for him!

In your prayers please pray for Ria. She is at his side every moment of the day which is very taxing in a state hospital.

Carla, Petra & I visited Baby M in the hospital yesterday.

Carla: "Baba M is steeds in die hospitaal en dit gaan redelik goed met hom. Gister is verdere toetse gedoen, aangesien hy effens koors ontwikkel het. Ria spandeer elke moontlik oomblik langs sy bed en ons loof haar daarvoor. Mag God aan haar nuwe krag gee om deur hierdie tyd te kom en haar so versterk dat sy fisies en geestelik gesonds sal bly. Bid vir haar en Baba M asseblief."

"Baby M is still in the hospital. He developed a fever yesterday so they are doing more tests. Ria is spending every possible moment with him, we praise her for that. Please pray that God will renew her strength. Please continue to pray for Ria and Baby M."

Baby M (update 17:00)

I just received wonderful news!

Baby M is doing very well. The Surgeon is very pleased with the surgery. They did not do any cosmetic surgery at this time. The doctors were able to open from ear to ear to work on the brain/scull. They will do the cosmetic surgery on his face in a few months . The reason for that is they need to make sure internally everything is working perfectly! His face is swollen but according to Ria, you can look him in the eyes!!!

Please continue to pray for Baby M in this time of recovery.

(I hope all of this makes sense!)

The Thembiso Staff is thankful for your prayers!

Baby M (update 14:11)

The surgery started on time this morning at 8am and is scheduled as a six hours operation. Baby M is still in surgery as I am typing. Please continue to pray for this little guy and the doctors.
