Zaed has had an excellent recovery.

It seems that tomorrow, doctors will give him a discharge to return to his home in Gaza.

Thank you for your prayers for this little one.

At Hadassah hospital today, just two days after Zaed’s surgery, the doctor was surprised by his speedy recovery and said that Zaed could already leave the ICU.

So at noon he was taken back to his room.

I was able to be with Zaed’s mom today thank God. We were all very happy and thanking the Lord for Zaed’s good recovery.

His mom was especially very happy.

All the Glory is for God.

Zaed was seven days old when he first came to Hadassah hospital in Jerusalem and had his first surgery. Now he is one year and three months old, and is undergoing his second surgery.

He entered the surgery room at eight o’clock in the morning. Every hour medical staff were informing us that everything was fine and that Zaed was still in surgery . It was very extensive, but successful – thank God.

His mother was quite stressed, but thank the Lord, we were there to pray and support her. My colleague Ella arrived at noon to give her more support.

Pray for a speedy recovery.

Today my colleague Ella and I received Zaed at Hadassah hospital, all the way from Gaza.

He had already been at the hospital in Jerusalem three times before for some exams.

This time Zaed was finally able to get an appointment for surgery, which has been scheduled for Tuesday.

Please continue to pray for Zaed, that everything goes well.

We are grateful to God for being able to serve.

Today when I arrived at Hadassah hospital, Zaed and his mom greeted me with a smile. They were happy. The doctor told them they could go back to Gaza, as everything was fine with Zaed.

He’s fine and he’s grown a lot in a short time and I thank God for allowing me to be with him. I thank God for this whole process, and now Zaed tells us, goodbye.

The doctor will contact our Gaza coordinator Amar, for when Zaed’s next surgery will be.

Today the visit at Hadassah hospital was a bit long, Zaed entered his catheterization at 9 a.m. and was out at 11:30 a.m. Even his mother was a bit worried, but when she saw her child being brought out of the OR, her face changed .

After that, Zaed was under observation for two hours, and the anesthesiologist said there was no problem. The doctor also said that everything was fine, and his heart was working well, thank God.

This time Zaed was crying a lot. It seems that he was hungry during the exams. When he was able to have his bottle, he slept for a long time, and at the same time, the effect of the anesthesia was wearing off. Then he was taken to his room.

Zaed’s mom was very grateful that I could be with her throughout the process. I thank God for everything and for allowing me to serve.

Once again Zead’s catheterization was postponed until Monday. He still has an infection, and the doctors at Hadassah Hospital are carefully dealing with this infection.

Please keep praying for this little one, that his infection gets cleared so doctors can proceed with his catheterization. Zaed has come a long way since we first received him at only three days old, back in July of 2020. God has been faithful thus far, and He doesn’t change.

Today I went to Hadassah hospital to see Zaed. I got a little sad because I saw him very down, with a fever and not eating well. Because of these reasons, doctors have postponed his Catherization until Wednesday.

I was able to pray for Zaed and his Mom while there. Thank God the little baby became a bit calmer and was able to sleep.

Thanking God for this little boy and his mother.

While I was in Hadassah hospital, little Zaed from Gaza arrived for a catheterization. I was able to be with him throughout his process.

The doctor said the cath went well and little Zaed is fine, thank God.  Zaed was able to return already to Gaza because there were no complications.

Zaed’s doctor will ask for Zaed to return in two month’s time for a check-up.

A big day for Zaed today as he was discharged from the Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem. After having had his emergency surgery last Wednesday, Co-worker Margarita wrote in that blog that his recovery was quick.

Praise God who has been faithful and who continued to bless little Zaed so that he could recover quickly, and go back to Gaza today.

When I came to pick him and his mother up to take them to the Gaza border crossing, there were two kind and helpful nurses who came with us to bring their bags to the car and to say goodbye.

Thanks for all your prayers and thanks to God who answered them!

Zaed entered the surgery room at 8 AM and the surgery started at 11 AM. Every hour they came out to report that everything is fine thanks to the Lord.  The mother after waiting so long was worried. I prayed with her and she told me she is very grateful for being by her side, and supporting her. We know and I always tell her that all the glory and honor is for the Lord. And two hours later Zaed was back with us in the ICU!

After waiting in our Jerusalem guesthouse for a couple of weeks, today Zaed and mother from Gaza climbed aboard the bus and were off to Hadassah Hospital for his second heart surgery!

The medical staff kindly checked them in and told us all is ready for his surgery Sunday morning. Please pray for this beautiful and cheerful little guy.

When co-worker Margarita and I came to the Hadassah ICU today, we received the good news from a smiling nurse that Zaed had been moved to another floor because of his progress.

When we found the right place, we had to wait a while because they were in the process of an Echo for him. When was rolled back in his mobile crib, it was such a relief to see him again. It was hard to think it was the same baby we had visited a while ago. My innermost rejoiced over this adorable boy.  A few hours later, he was released from the hospital.

The doctor said that Zaed has a new appointment in September to check up how he is doing. Those tests will decide if he needs more treatments. But right now, he is going back to Gaza to be in quarantine for three weeks.

I thank God for Zaed’s improvement, and for all the love he has received through the marvellous medical staff. They are doing a wonderful job with all these sick children, and Zaed is one of them. Please continue to carry him and his family in prayer, and remember to lift up in prayer all the staff in the hospital also.

Our coworker Yousef today found Zaed recovering well from his surgery. Prof. Erez, the surgeon, told us that the result of the surgery is excellent, thank God.

The setting is Hadassah Hospital in Ein Karem. I entered Zaed’s hospital room, stunned by the peace that filled the place.

Zaed is a little boy who entered our world from Gaza just a couple of days ago. He is now safely hospitalized at Hadassah. This whole process and possibility just fills me with gratitude, because he is so precious in the eyes of God.

The doctors are checking his fragile little body carefully to be sure they will give him the right treatment. His young mother seemed to be in a good mood, but very tired. Please lift up little baby Zaed in your prayers, and also his family.
