Baby Deborah Part 4
"For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord,
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."Jeremiah 29:11
As the postoperative days passed by, mother and child gradually stabilized
and improved. Mother had great difficulty initiating *** feeding but Debbie
tirelessly worked with her and largely through her efforts the mother was able
to successfully continue *** feeding. The mother was so thankful for Debbie's
help that she asked her permission to call her baby, Deborah in honor of Debbie.
Debbie graciously accepted and we were pleased that there would be a Baby Debbie
in southern Sudan. After four days, we had to catch our plane to fly off to the
next village. There was no one in the village to continue giving parenteral
antibiotics so we stopped the parenteral medication and switched over to oral
antibiotics. When we left, both mother and child were doing better but they were
still ar risk for complications after the ordeal they had been through. Several
months passed by and my friend Dr. Hopper went on a mission trip to southern
Sudan and stayed at Lohutok. My eyes opened wide and my heart sang when he sent
me a picture of the mother and her beautiful baby daughter, Debbie, both healthy
and doing well. I am not sure what plans God has for Baby Debbie but in my
heart, I feel that there must be something special in her future. To God be all
the honor and glory.
