I stepped into the elevator early this morning and was pleasantly surprised by Nihal and her mother joining me in the ride up to the cardiac ward of Sheba Medical Center.
Nihal is a fourteen year old girl from Hebron with congenital heart defects. I was concerned about Nihal because she slept most of the day and was slow and lethargic. After her echocardiogram and electrocardiogram, it was confirmed that her oxygen level was low. The doctor was also concerned and requested a blood test and an X-ray.
It was a very long day for Nihal and her mother who left Hebron at five in the morning and didn’t leave Sheba until late in the afternoon. Nihal’s mother is so kind and is always generously sharing her homemade bread and other food. They had waited all day, but unfortunately the doctor needed to leave early and Nihal was unable to receive the doctor’s analysis of the blood and X-ray information.
Please pray for Nihal that her oxygen level increases, that her strength and health improve, and for wisdom and understanding for the doctors on how to best treat her.
