Beloved of All
Please pray for my daughter! She contracted an infectious bacteria during a routine surgery and it caused many problems. My daughter is in now in ICU. She will be here at least 20 days. She had an 3 surgeries on her brain and one hernia from her CSF fluid not absorbing properly from this mishap. She had a shunt to regulate the fluid taken out yesterday that was fused and embedded in her cranium as a newborn. The shunt became infected and they had to take it out. It’s very painful. We pray it heals safely. Surgeon performed a second operation to where she might not need a metal and plastic shunt and catheter tubing called ETV. This advanced surgical technique, called endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV), does not use a shunt or any implanted hardware, and if it takes means she will not need to return to the hospital as many times throughout her life. In this procedure, surgeons use a tiny camera called an endoscope to enter the ventricles of her brain. They then make a small opening in one of the ventricles, which relieves the pressure buildup by allowing fluid to flow again. The procedure is called an ETV, or "endoscopic third ventriculostomy." She had this done two days ago but we are praying to see if it works. If it does work it will be a miracle and testimony of God’s healing power and grace and will give her freedom she’s never had but she is in pain and praying that this procedure works so she will not have to put a new shunt in. She’s hurting so much. Please pray that this works for her! In Jesus name! “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 Thank you for your prayers!
