Emilie is much better today, weighing in at 1 lb 14 ounces. Whatever illness the doctors perceived she had must have been nothing more than her throwing a temper tantrum. Both her blood pressure and oxygen support levels are stable, and her bilirubin levels have come down. This means she no longer needs phototherapy (i.e she’s no longer under the blue light). They had to remove the PICC line on Tuesday night to test it for bacteria. We’re still waiting for the results.
Head Ultrasound
Emilie is scheduled to have another ultrasound today. She will have one every 2-3 days. This is the test which determines the condition of her brain and the severity of the bleed. She has already had four of these test, each revealing that her condition is progressively worsening. This is our mountain that we’re believing God to remove!
Our prayer is that God would confound the doctors by allowing the next ultrasound to be totally clear of any bleeding or damage to the brain. This prayer of faith is rooted in James 5:15 & 16…
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick [Emilie], and the Lord shall raise him [her] up….The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
After each ultrasound the doctors give us their prognosis based on the results of the test. It’s at this point that either Holly or I will say,
“Doc we really appreciate all the work your team is doing. However, concerning the condition of her brain we are believing that God will heal her. This is what we’re praying for and what we’re standing by.”
The doctor then usually looks at us like we’re either a) crazy, or b) not in touch with reality (which is a form of being crazy). As we stand there with a mountain of evidence against our faith and declare that no matter what this evidence reveals it shall not come to pass, we silently whisper the prayer…
“O my God, we trust in thee: let us not be ashamed [for standing on your Word], let not our enemies [this doctor’s evidence] triumph over us. Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed…” Psalms 25:2
