Baby Nobuhle - Update 2 from South Africa





Dear Friends

We are very excited to share the miraculous recovery of our Baby Nobuhle, what a living testimony of God’s love, grace and mercy she is.

As we previously shared this cardio-thoracic surgery was a very complex one in which they cut down the centre of her chest, open the chest up to remove the mass which was attached both to the front and back of her chest, also lying on part of her lung.

She spent 3 days supported on the ventilator, each day gradually reducing the support as she began to breathe more and more on her own. Her suture line seemed so delicate and already had begun to heal closed, the wound from where the drain was removed had also begun to heal. On the 5th day after surgery she was able to suck on her bottle and there now was no need even for a feeding tube. The Paedatrician was delighted with her amazing progress made and felt she was now ready to go home as long as she was able to cope without the oxygen. Six days later Nobuhle was discharged from Netcare’s Parklane Clinic, able to breathe freely without any obstruction in her chest. What an amazing sight to see !!
The results of her tumour histology showed the mass was non malignant, therefore no chemotheraphy was required. Praise The Lord for this result. It has been concluded that the tumour is of TB origin, turns out it's a type of tumour usually only present in adults. She is now receiving TB treatment which is a course over 7 months, we ask that you continue to pray with us for a successful treatment.

The question now remains with us where did the TB originate from? It could be anywhere??, it could have been formed in the mothers womb, it could have been contracted at birth when placed into hospital prior to being placed into the custody of Isaiah’s. Where-ever or what-ever, the greatest fact is that TB is a curable disease.

We shall be leaving South Africa on Good Friday with hearts so full of thanks and praise for everything which has taken place in Nobuhle’s life. We thank you all for your love, support and encouragement through this time of ill health.

We serve a mighty and awesome God, one who does exceedingly above what we could ever imagine ! Praise and Glory 2 His name.

Thanks, God bless,
Luv ‘n’ friendship in the Lord always
Sis’Bee
