Prayers needed for Linda

Little Linda is our youngest Bykota Kid.  She is approximately 3 years old.  She came to us with hydrocephalus which is congenital issue which is sometimes called “water on the brain.”  When she came into our custody, she was already a patient at the local children’s hospital but she had been abandoned in province by her natural family.  The provincial village chief found a family to take her in and the village helped to care for her.  However, the situation changed for the foster family and the village chief, who has met us before, instructed for her to be taken in to Phnom Penh to our ministry center.

Linda has suffered with a great deal of shunt problems and has it replaced repeatedly.  The last time it was replaced, she suffered a stroke after the surgery and an infection set in.  The doctors didn’t believe that she would live but the prayers of the saints calling this little child’s name out before the throne were heard and answered with a miraculous recovery.

This last Tuesday evening, which is Wednesday morning in Cambodia, Mark spoke to me on the phone and told me that Linda’s eyes were very droopy.  But within an hour she went from being droopy to being asleep and unable to be roused.  She was taken into the hospital and it was assumed that it was again an issue with the shunt.

A CAT scan showed that the shunt was functioning but that the issue was a hemorrhage and she has since had surgery to correct it.  Again, the doctors in Cambodia did not expect her to survive the surgery but she has.  So we give thanks for the strength and life that flows through this beautiful little girl.  But we ask that you please contact the prayer warriors in your life and to pray protection for her against infection and any relapse.

Breathing in, breathing out,
