Wow! What a crazy time in the echo clinic!!
Majd came to Sheba Medical Center today for a check-up echocardiogram. He is much bigger, much more mischievous, and much more high-energy than the last time I saw him last year. He has so much personality!
This kid doesn’t slow down at all. The entire time we were together, he was always doing something. He was running around the echo clinic, blowing bubbles, throwing paper airplanes, and running away from Elisa and me.
When it came time for his echocardiogram, though, he suddenly became very nervous and quiet. This was his first time back at Sheba in six months, and I imagine this place holds a lot of difficult and scary memories for him.
But praise God, he has such a loving and caring father by his side who clearly loves him deeply. The crazy boy who had been running around everywhere suddenly became quiet, held his father’s hand, and was comforted by him throughout the entire appointment.
Of course, as soon as his shirt was back on, he was back to his crazy business–running around, knocking on closed doors and racing away! He, his father, and I even had a bottle-flipping competition. I was very impressed by how close Majd came to making a successful flip!
Afterwards, Elisa, Majd, and I played outside for a few minutes.
You certainly have to keep an eye on this young man, especially with cars around! We had so much fun with him.
And we’re happy to report that his doctor said his heart looks good! He will need another echocardiogram in six months. We pray that this young boy continues to remain healthy and that the Lord will continue to do beautiful work in his life. We are so grateful for all He has done.
