We rejoice in Sami being discharged from Sheba Hospital today! Sami has made improvements and his doctor felt confident that he was able to return home. Sami received a catheterization and an aortic valve dilation was performed, which involves ballooning the valve to improve the valve function by enlarging the opening. The poor little guy also had a fever and Rhino virus while he was hospitalized. Sami’s father and mother were anxious to return home to their young daughter and to celebrate the holiday feast for them that happens soon.
Though I did not arrive in time to see them off, I was glad to hear that they were able to return home because it has been a difficult week for them in the underground parking lot bomb shelter turned hospital. It is not an ideal place, but we thank God for the amazing people of Israel, we appreciate their love of life, and resilience in the face of opposition.
Please pray for Sami to increase in strength and health and that his narrow valve would enlarge. Pray for God’s provision for Sami’s parents, especially in the area of secure employment for his dad.
