Walking into the cardiology unit at Sheba Medical Center, it was a delight to be welcomed with warm smiles and joyful hugs from 15-year-old Nihal and her mother. I had met these two back in January when Nihal had come for one of her regular checkups. During that time in January, we spent all day together and shared many wonderful conversations. Ever since we have remained in contact.
Meeting with them again in person was truly a delight. They shared how their family was doing, what they had been up to, and how Nihal had been feeling lately. While waiting, it was also lovely to have a sweet interaction with a Jewish family at the hospital who were waiting for their appointment. The Jewish family had a daughter who kept coming to high five Nihal, her mother, and I. We spoke with their family for some time, and it was such a blessing to witness a Jewish and Muslim family laughing together and sharing in conversation. God is healing the Abrahamic family moment by moment.
Nihal’s routine appointments all went well. She received a blood draw, echo, and EKG which all came back with good results as the very skilled Dr. Sharon shared. Praise the Lord that Nihal is doing well! She will return again in three months to assure she is still healthy.
