Carman's song was in my head as God continued to tell me to "trust in Him, though our prayers have yet to show". We certainly had no option and we fought all the way to give this situation to the Lord. These words upheld me through the entire day.
Little Talia was peaceful and comfortable and again we learned that despite our fears, it may well have been that she simply needed to rest since her little lungs were still learning how to work properly.
The consultant in NICU (which is Neo-natel Intensive Care Unit - our home for the next few months!) advised that the breathing issues may be due to infection, but may also be due to Talia's brain not being able to manage her respiratory system. If the latter was the case, she may be on a respirator for the rest of her life - this news was heartbreaking to Jan especially.
Having sent an SMS to some people, it seemed that our "miracle team" was on the case and we almost immediately had around 10 people close at hand in the NICU. We went into the chapel at the hospital and began to cry out (literally) to the Lord to release His healing on Talia - I believe the Bible teaches that Christians are given the authority to release God's power on this earth and have the incredible joy of partnering with Jesus through His Holy Spirit. Still a lot to learn and understand and hearing God is just so difficult through this pain.
Our dear friends are so close to our little Talia now. We are bonded as family through this little girl and many tears were shed on her behalf today. She is now very comfortable and we are praying earnestly that the breathing is NOT related to her brain, but from a much simpler cause.
Tomorrow perhaps we can cuddle out little treasure again?
