Day 3

Every day we are held up by the prayers of the dozens (probably many more now) of people who are lifting Talia, Jan and myself to Jesus, the Healer. We can feel it very strongly and never imagined this level of support could exist - what a privilege it is to have family and friends who know Him.

Talia is starting to be fed with her mother's milk finally, which is a good thing. She had some initial troubles, but is getting better with it.

The discussions today with the Pediatrician have been exceptionally difficult. He is speaking a death sentence over our baby and providing us with two options for the heart condition - one terrible and the other worse. We will not accept this, since we know a third option which the master healer provides. We are rejecting the death sentence and constantly speaking "life" over Talia. Jesus brings life and abundant life - we are learning to speak God's Words over her and to sing to Talia and she is responding.

This photo is our favourite to date, since my finger is bigger than Talia's whole arm - she is so fragile and yet holding on (literally!). It is an incredible joy to hold hands with my little girl!
