I was made aware of a fellow Canadian family who serves here in Uganda who had a baby girl a month ago. The baby is called Selah and is critical condition with an acute bacterial infection, 2 holes in her heart, an inflamed liver and kidneys and is in intensive care in a hospital here in Kampala. 4
We went to visit Dave and Janna, our friends this morning and got to meet Baby Selah, and seeing her with so many wires/sensors attached to her was so saddening. Seeing her resting peacefully was a blessing.
Selah began convulsing and having seizures, and that is how Dave & Janna knew something was wrong. After coming to Kampala from where they are serving in Northern Uganda, Selah was admitted in one of the hospitals, and testing began. They saw an acute bacterial infection and Selah's life nearly passed several times.
Just last night they had another scan done of her heart and the 2 holes in her heart were found; which explain why she's been having such a hard time breathing. Precious girl.
When we saw her today she was resting peacefully, not struggling and that is a blessing for Dave and Janna after seeing her convulsing from the seizures.
It's one day at a time right now, as Selah's little body is in critical condition.
Please be lifting them up on wings of prayer as often as you can, praying for continued strength for Dave & Janna and their other 3 children, as well as all their family back in Canada & the States who are worried and also praying. Times like this I remember being ill and hospitalized while here and it's really hard on the family abroad. Please remember them all as you commit them to prayer before the Lord.
On behalf of Dave & Janna, your prayers are greatly appreciated. Thankyou & God bless you.
