Call for Prayer for Timo, Missionary's son

[He's My Friend]

I know we have a thread about this young man, but I wanted everyone to see the latest request on Sis Smith's blog.




Call for Prayer
Vicki just texted and Timothy is crying with his neck and head hurting. She wants everyone to please pray! She and Tremayne have already traded shifts. She is now at the hospital with Timo. She was asleep in the recliner and Timothy was asleep, too. The pain woke him up crying. He vomitted during the night, too. Of course these are classic symptoms of the Meningitis. However, he hasn't had these symptoms since being in Joburg. Well his head and neck has hurt but not to the point of waking him up, crying, and vomiting.

Thanks for praying with us!

Great LORD GOD,

We thank You, dear God, for all You have done and for all You will do! You are
SO Great and Greatly to be PRAISED! There is NONE like unto our GOD!
Lord, we just thank and praise You as You continue to touch this dear child,
Timothy!
We trust You, O God, for where could we go if we couldn't come to
You! Thank You that where ever Your people are, You are there. When this
family went to Africa as missionaries, You not only went with them, You went
IN them. You are the ONE who comes alongside to help in every situation! Bless
the Name of our God! JESUS!

Praise the Lord for a good update this morning.

I just called Vicki and Timo is resting. He had a rough night and has had a rough day today. He has a lot of pain in his head and neck. The vomiting did not persist. The doctor was called in and checked him very thoroughly. In fact more blood work was ordered. Thankfully the markers are down for the Meningitis. The doctor explained he is just having a bad day and is still a sick little boy. He said we will see more of these days but he is proud of Timothy's progress.

He doesn't feel Timothy is eating enough to promote healing and is going to give him another day or two to try really hard. If he can't tolerate the food and/or get a stronger appetite he wil insert a feeding tube. I think Timo will do his best! Vicki said shortly after his lunch tray was delivered and he did eat a little just not very much. This was progress!

Dr. Bartlette explained that Timothy will have to remain hospitalized for another 10 -12 days to complete the necessary medications that are given intraveneously. Timothy cried and said he didn't want to stay in the hospital. His parents explained they were going to work on getting tickets to the States and it would take that long. Timothy cheered up really quick and was excited. They told him they would go and buy some board games. Once he can sit up they will have fun playing games and the 2 wks will pass quickly. Hopefully then he will be off to Texas! YES!!! (I think I'll plan a party!)

Currently, Sis. Simoneaux is with Timothy. David and Donna Flowers have taken Vicki & Tremayne to eat. These folks are great! They have stayed right on top of things with my family. Additionally, when we were working to get Timo moved to Joburg. Donna called me numerous times. She was sharing with me the level of care he would receive in Joburg and etc. She was endeavoring to give me information so I could comfort Mom. Donna you will NEVER know what you have meant to our entire family. Love you, girl!

Vicki sounded upbeat again! I know prayers are their strength. I know with prayer Timo will be back in his chair tomorrow. He is medicated now so he will not be able to get up. Vicki said they have to assist him turning and etc at this point due to the pain. Let's focus on praying it will quickly subside.

Ok, everyone this is the day that the Lord hath made! Let's have church for Vicki, Tremayne, and Timo. Most Sundays they go to several churches. In fact the first Sunday Timo was sick they had 3 churches to attend. They left Timo with a cell phone in case he got too sick. Timo would want to pray with a child today to receive the Holy Ghost and would want to do a 'dance'.

Again my thoughts are what would we do without the Lord?
