“But he lifted the needy out of their affliction and increased their families like flock.” – Psalm 107:41
We came back on 15th June so Many cases of premature deliveries had occurred in the clinic. Our new nurse midwife Loise had conducted two premature deliveries. It was on Friday 6th when a mother of 25 years was brought to the clinic. She had delivered while on her way coming to the clinic. The baby weighed 2.3kg and she was born premature and had blue extremities.
She was kept in the oxygen concentrator. I went and prayed with the mother. The baby was not improving on Saturday. On Sunday the child was still not improving though she was not using the oxygen concentrator. On Monday morning Praise God the baby improved miraculously and the mother was discharged in the afternoon.
A girl of 15 years was brought today to the clinic in labor. Aliai Chol Dut was brought in the morning and the midwife Annie examined her and noticed she was not dilating. Annie took 2 hours to see if she will improve but she did not. Aliai was impregnated by a man and after knowing that she was pregnant he ran away. This family must have loved this girl because she was accompanied by her grandparents, dad aunties and other relatives.
The relatives who brought her in the clinic are people who know God. I found them praying for her. I also asked them if I can pray for her and they agreed to pray together with me. At around 2pm I went over to the clinic and Annie told me that Aliai needed to be referred to Wau Hospital because she feared complications, this is because the girl is still young. I know God have a special plan for the girl and her baby. I pray that she will have a safe delivery in Wau we leave her in the hands of God. Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord…”
Another mother was brought to the clinic in the afternoon. Asunta Michael 25 years was in labor and when the midwife on duty examined her, she was having a feotal distress. Asunta was being treated for malaria five days ago in our clinic and she was still unwell. She was also referred to Wau and we are praying for God’s protection over them.
Please pray for the mothers who visit our ANC and pray that there will not be any more premature deliveries in our clinic in Jesus name.
We know you all are so busy, in spite of that, thank you for putting new notes on the blog. It helps us to pray more effectively for you. Is anyone making bricks or constructing buildings in July/August?
Dear LORD, thank you for the babies that you are giving families near Tonj. You have said that each one of them is precious to you. You designed a 40 week season of growth in the mother’s womb for optimal health of the new little one. Lord, please protect these pregnant women so that their babies will grow to full term in the womb and then safely deliver. Thank you for teaching us to value children as well as adults. Lord, be glorified!
