Update

Priscilla has much congestion in the nasal passage. pls pray that the passage can be
cleared naturally before the doc can remove the trachy from her throat.

She has a slight eye infection. We now have difficulty changing the feeding tube due to a
cavity found behind her nose that caused the tube to be entrenched. Now it
can only be changed by the doctor every time she goes for check-up ie every 3
months instead of the house nurse. She suffered greatly with bleeding on
Tues & yesterday when inserting the feeding tube through her nose.

Encouraging observations...she tried to raise to hand to shake-hand with the
nurse.

Thanks for praying,

Adrian

When Children Pray..

Thank you for your continued prayers. Priscilla continues to work hard to regain her muscle strength. She is able to sit on the side of the bed without support for about 20 mnutes at a time! This is to strengthen her back muscles.

Her arm strength is also improving. Most touching is that she can even reach out to hold Adrian's hand. :)

Pray for the general health of the family, passing around colds and flu,
amazingly Pris has not fallen sick these last nine months while at home.
Pray for her physical strength to increase as she relearns all the involuntary body movements.

Pray she can swallow.

Ryan and Marilyn continue to be very fervent prayer warriors for their Mummy,
Ryan reminds his Sunday school class to pray and Marilyn insists that Daddy say a LONG prayer every night for her.

Priscilla is aware of her condition and is doing her best to work her muscles
She is doing her part. Lets do ours!

Persevere in prayer to our Almighty and All powerful God who heals.

Visitors are advised to come mid-morning or mid-afternoon when she is awake and
doing the physical therapy.

Thank you for visiting and praying

Priscilla went for her trachea review yesterday and was told that there is still a lot of secretion in her nasal passage way. They change her trachea tube and set the next review 2 months time. She may discouraged by the news.



On her bodily movements, she is able to lift her left hand more and the rest of her limbs are slowly moving at will. She is very well aware of everything as I did have a talk to encourage her and she cried with redness in her eyes and some tears. I believe she is pretty happy and encourage by all those who have visited her and prayed for her. One way to communicate with her is to ask her question and she will respond yes by blinking her left eye.



Continue to pray for her that she will strengthen her faith in God for her full recovery.

Thanks,
Adrian

Physical Therapist visits

Thanks again for your continued prayers. Last week a physical "terrorist" from Touch Community Services
came by to review Priscilla's case and prescribe further exercises. These are HARD work for Pris thus the name "physical terrorist".. given by the therapist herself.
Priscilla is sleeping better at night but still sleeps a bit too much in the day. She can keep her eyes open a long while now, sits in a wheel chair up to a few hours in the evening and watches TV a while, she can raise her arms and legs "on command" -shows she hears well. The PT cannot come so often so it is up to Jennifer, the helper, Pris' Mum, Adrian to do the exercises daily.

All this to say the family welcomes your visits, just give Adrian a call first.
And values your continued prayers. Lets continue to encourage this dear family in the Lord and in this fight to regain what has been lost.

God is our Healer

Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord

Do continue to pray that she is able to work her swallowing function. Current, she just pushes out her salvia out of her mouth and her mouth and tongue is still shaking, though a bit lesser now. Pray that she may be able to rid herself of the trache and breathe from her nose and eat normally.

Pray for strength and perseverance.

As for the kids, Marilyn is coughing and having running nose while Ryan coughs in the morning.

As for me , pray for strength to hold the fort both in the home and in the ministry as well as physically - got the flu bug now.

Thanks for praying.

God bless.

Adrian

Update

Dear Praying Ones,

Thank you for your faithful prayers even when the blog is quiet..

Priscilla IS able to move a little more now, ie. turning her head, moving her hands, able to sit in a wheelchair for a short time. We thank God for the maid, Jennifer, who is consciencious and diligent in care-giving. Priscilla will allow her to do the physio excercises with her now.

She is sleeping better at night, though she still sleeps a lot during the day.

Pray for continued strength for Adrian to fulfill all his duties as husband, father,
and mother.
Pray for Priscilla's continued healing and awareness of God's presence daily. That she will be encouraged and press on to regain more and body function. It is really hard work!
For provision of "helpers" to do the exercises for her, whether or not to hire
an extra maid.

May God give us much patience and persevering prayer

update

A physio therapist recommends Priscilla get more exercise, ie.
is moved from bed to chair daily and limbs moved. Anyone who can help
by assisting the maid to do this please call Adrian.

She has been healthy these few months at
home and Ryan can even tell when "Mummy is angry" (not pleased) She will
cough!

As we continue to pray for Priscilla's healing pray
That they will not be discouraged.
That they will always remember God IS with them.
That they will rely on God's protection and guidance.

God is our healer

Resurrection Power

Priscilla continues to amaze us with her physical awareness.
She can now transfer objects from one hand to the other and is
working towards sitting up in a wheelchair on her own. A recent visit from a friend who is a physio therapist showed she is capable of more than Adrian even knew! So let us continue to pray God's strength and resurrection power for her! She needs much encouragement as the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak".

Thank you so much for your prayers and visits for her and the family. Marilyn seems to be adjusting well to her nursery Sunday school class too.

God is our Healer!

Adrian in Batam

Adrian has gone to Batam for a few days, 10-12 March.

Priscilla can now sit in a reclined wheelchair.

Prayers for Prsicilla

Thank you for your continued prayers for Priscilla and family. Her eyes are open and responsive. She has developed some uncontrolled movements of her hands. Pray that the right dosage of medication can be given so that she is not too drowsy.

Wed. 20 Feb. she will go for an ENT review in hospital. Pray that the journey goes smoothly. It involves moving her from second floor room to gurney to ambulance to hospital. Wisdom for docs to decide whether to change her breathing tube.

Pray for strength daily and encouragement from the Lord for all.

Our God Heals!
