When I reached the Sheba Hospital on Monday, I found that Ibraheem was no longer in the ICU but had been moved to the secondary ward.
Surprised, given he’s had no surgical treatment yet, I went to see him and his father, where I heard the news: although Ibraheem was not necessarily misdiagnosed (his doctor wasn’t willing to commit to a label for his condition with the limited information he had), he’s in much healthier condition than we might have thought. In fact, he’s so strong and stable that his doctors are planning on just discharging him, pushing off his surgeries until he’s grown bigger. We’re just waiting on a clean viral test, at which point he’ll be good to go home.
We praise God for this slightly altered diagnosis at least for the time being. Prayers go up for his complete healing.
