Lord, I do not understand your ways.

Isaiah 55:8-9

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways...

We have been nursing some very sick babies lately. Some of them have been restored to good health. Others are getting there.

This sweet girl is recovering from septicaemia. She remains weak but she is getting stronger every day.

Some are in a state of constant instability.

A Darling boy who has serious, ongoing health issues: he has been sick with pneumonia and he is beginning to retain fluid in his face, arms and abdomen.

And then there is Baby S, whose condition remains critical...

As Baby S's head continues to grow, she is becoming increasingly prone to hypothermia. We are keeping her covered at all times to reduce insensible heat losses. Baby S is vomiting many of her feeds, which are now given entirely by feeding tube, since she is no longer able to swallow. Medicine is not easing her symptoms. The pressure in her head is high and she is pale and gaunt

We have received all the letters we need in order to proceed with the Visa process. Please pray that Haitian Social Services and the US embassy will process her paper work quickly and that Sabrina will arrive safely at Riley hospital in Indiana before the week is out. A series of miracles have brought her this far but there is no time to lose.

As I reflect on the turbulent courses and the soaring heart-highs I have been experiencing over the past two months, I have come to believe that maybe it is for the best that we do not know God's ways. If we did, there would be no reason to believe and no reason to pray. We would give up the fight, and then, it wouldn't be possible to change a thing.

We might stand to lose too much....
