LUAN UPDATE 12

Thank you for all your prayers, encouragement & gifts as well as practical help.

Please do intensify your prayers for Luan:

Luan was admitted to hospital on Sunday (1 Oct) morning after a bout of vomiting and diarrhea. She was immediately placed on drip. Her haemoglobin was down to 5.9 (normal: 11-15) and platelet count was also very low… so low that it was probably causing some internal bleeding – trace of which was found in the stools.

So the Doc ordered 2 pints of blood and 200 mls (4 bags) of platelets transfusion. A course of anti-biotics was also prescribed for her infection.

After the transfusion Luan looked better. She was alert though still weak in body but was able to converse with us quite normally (though softer & slower in speech) … even testifying to God’s goodness & provision for Chung En.

However on Tuesday her condition deteriorated … she was sleepy and sleeping most of the time. The doctors ran more tests. They found that they needed to prescribe a stronger (in fact, the strongest that can be for her condition) course of anti-biotics. If the infection did not respond to it, the doc warned that she would slip into a coma.

The X-ray also showed that she had developed pneumonia. At the same time whenever she needed to be moved on the bed (Thank the Lord for a ripple mattress) she felt great pain.

Please continue to remember our sister in your prayers and carry her before Him for His mercy and healing power.
