Today, Malak’s mother changed places with her mother-in-law to stay at the Pediatric ICU in Sheba Hospital with sweet Malak. Even though it is very hard for her mother to leave her daughter, Malak’s mother was joyful to return home to Gaza.
We asked Malak’s nurse after Malak’s condition and found out that Malak has to rest for another week and grow stronger. Next week, doctors will do a video fluoroscopy, a moving X-ray examination of swallowing. With those results, they can decide on further treatment.
We want to pray for Malak so she will grow stronger for her examination next week. Also pray for her mother who had to leave her little baby behind, albeit temporarily. Give strength and perseverance to Malak’s grandmother in this new unknown environment.
