Time flies. Ayham was four months in Jerusalem, three months in Hadassah Hospital and one month in or Jerusalem Guesthouse.
For his last appointment last Tuesday, the doctor found him very well. We thank God for that!. Ayham’s doctor recommended that he continues to take his medicine, and come back to Israel in three month’s time.
For today the doctors have decided to discharge him. Now he can go back to Gaza to be with the whole family. His mother was very happy to finally being able to reunite with her husband and sons.
We rejoice with her and thank the Lord for His mercy and miracle of life in Ayham
Today, Ayham had an appointment at Hadassah hospital for a new blood test. Everything is fine, thank God, but he will not be discharged today. The cardiologist wants to meet with his colleagues to make a decision about Ayham and his return to Gaza.
Ayham’s mother is a bit down because of the waiting, she was excited to see her family tomorrow, believing Ayham would be discharged by then. So, please pray for comfort for her and her family.
Today the cardiologist at Hadassah Hospital saw Ayham and told us that in spite of his improvement, Ayham will not have a surgery for now due to the brain bleeding he had in the recent past, because the surgery would be too risky.
Since he is evolving very well, doctors expect that Ayham can be three to four years old or more without a surgery with no health consequences.
Another appointment has been scheduled for him on Tuesday to see the Neurologist, and he will give the latest recommendations for Ayham and God willing, will discharge him back to Gaza.
Thank God for everything and thank you all for your support and for your prayers for little Ayham.
Today, after two weeks in the Jerusalem Guesthouse, Ayham returned to Hadassah Hospital in Ein Kerem, for his second medical check-up.
The doctor said everything was fine. He continues to gain some weight.
Next Sunday, he will have to go to the hospital again for a check-up. The doctors will do another blood and brain test to see how he has evolved during this time, so they can plan for Ayham’s surgery.
Please let’s continue supporting Ayham and his mother in prayer, so that everything goes well.
Today Ayham had a check-up and a blood test at Hadassah Hospital on Mt. Scopus.
The doctor said that Ayham was responding very well during the period he was discharged to our Jerusalem Guesthouse. He has been eating very well, he has gained some weight and he was even smiling today during the appointment.
His next check-up is on Monday, meanwhile the doctors will discuss when baby Ayham will have his surgery. We thank God for everything. We continue to pray that Ayham’s surgery will be soon.
Ayham’s mother has expressed that she longs to be returned to her home in Gaza; she misses her children very much. She has other kids who are very young. Please pray also for them, that God gives them peace in their hearts.
Today we are welcoming Ayham to the Jerusalem Guesthouse after two months of hospitalization in Hadassah Hospital.
Ayham was discharged from the hospital and he will return on this coming Wednesday for a check-up and so on, for a month. So for now, any future surgery will depend on how Ayham evolves over time.
We thank God for everything. Thank you for continuing to support this family with your prayers.
Having waited until after the holidays, I went to Hadassah Hospital in Ein Karim today to visit Ayham. He is recovering very well, eating more and gaining more weight.
So because of this good report, the doctors made the decision to perform Ayham’s first surgery in about two weeks, provided he remains stable.
We thank God for all His blessings over Ayham. A Jewish woman brought him a lot of baby clothes and a new mobile phone for Ayham’s mother. Thank God for his provision.
Please let’s keep praying for everything to go well.
We can see in our precious Ayham, the great love and mercy of God in how remarkably Ayham continues to recover. We are patiently waiting for baby Ayham to be in very good condition to be released.
This afternoon at Hadassah Hospital, doctors ran an ultrasound and made some other exams on Ayham, but we still do not know when they will release him; we trust in the Lord.
Please keep praying with us for this family. He is Faithful!
Ayham has had several tests at Hadassah Hospital in Ein Keram. The results of the spinal cord fluids and brain test haven’t come out yet. For now, the urine test result shows a urine infection. That is why he had a fever.
The doctors say they need to have his medications reduced. So, doctors still aren’t sure as to when Ayham can go home..
Ayham’s mother is praying they can go home soon. Please keep praying for Ayham.
Ayham was placed in Hadassah’s Pediatric ICU when his hand became red which was concerning to his mother. However, he as already been cleared of the problem and is now removed from ICU and is in the general pediatric area of Hadassah Hospital.
We still do not know when they will discharge little Ayham from the hospital, it all depends on his recovery process.
Ayham’s mother was very happy today, feeding him and thanking God for the progress of her baby. She is also very thankful for your prayers that are very valuable.
Ayham is still in Hadassah Hospital in Ein Karim, and doing quite well and soon will be returning to Gaza.
The nurses are working with the baby so he will be able to drink his milk from the bottle by himself.
Today in the afternoon, the doctors will decide when Ayham and his mother can return to Gaza. Ayham’s mother is very grateful to God, and to all of you for keeping them in your prayers!
It was a flurry and rush of medical staff including three cardiologists in Hadassah Medical Center this afternoon at about 2:15 pm, as they rolled Ayham’s tiny bed out of the cath lab and into the Pediatric ICU.
Ayham’s cath began at 10:30 this morning in which doctors succeeded to place a stent; this they hope will better regulate his blood flow. He remains on mechanical ventilation, but they’re expecting this won’t be for long.
Ayham must be in hospital at least several more days, after which, depending on how things go, doctors said he can be discharged to the Shevet Guesthouse, not too far they said, because they will begin administering a medication which they will want to have follow-up on before they fully discharge him to Gaza.
Doctors are also hopeful to have observed Ayham moving his limbs and showing signs of less neurological damage than they previously thought he might have.
During our sit down together this morning, a few other Palestinian mothers also in the ICU waiting area, were able to spend time with Ayham’s mom, conversing in their shared language, sipping coffee and encouraging each other.
Thank you for your prayers for Ayham and his continuing recovery.
Today at Hadassah hospital, after some examinations and the ultrasound that the nurses did on Ayham, the doctor said that they are going to increase the anticoagulant because Ayham is very delicate. This is the reason why they have not done the surgery yet.
Now we have to wait one more week, then they will do another catheterization.
Let’s pray that he gets better for the surgery to be done
I visited little Ayham at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem. He is doing very well and recovering from a brain hemorrhage and later on tonight or tomorrow, the doctor will do an ultrasound to see how Ayham has progressed.
Let’s pray everything is well with him and he and his mother can go back to Gaza
I went to Hadassah hospital to visit little Ayham and his mother today.
The nurse told me that Ayham is recovering very well. They keep giving him the anticoagulant and on Sunday they will make a decision on how next to proceed with him.
Ayham has not yet had his first surgery at Hadassah hospital due to his critical health. He had been battling a bacteria and at the moment he is with anticoagulants due to the brain hemorrhage condition. The doctors await Ayham’s recovery to discharge him, and later, in about four month’s time, he can return from Gaza for his surgery.
On the other hand, Ayham’s mother has asked me to take her to the Mosque, and today was the day. She was really happy traveling for the first time by train around Jerusalem. Also we went shopping for some clothes, shoes, and pashminas. At the end of the day, Ayham’s mother was so grateful, and thanked God for everything.
Today I went to the Hadassah Ein Keren Hospital in Jerusalem to visit small Ayham and his mother. Ayham’s doctor said that Ayham has a very strong kind of bacteria and is still bleeding in his brain. They would like to wait longer until the bacteria is gone and the bleeding stopped before doing a surgery for him.
The plan is to place a stent for Ayham to help his Pulmonary arteries to bend. Your prayers are very much appreciated for this little boy.After they have placed a stent, they plan to send Ayham back to Gaza and to wait for him to grow a bit more before his next surgery.
Ayham cannot undergo a surgery now because of his delicate brain condition. Right now there is no hemorrhage, but the doctor said there is a very high risk for a brain hemorrhage if a surgery were attempted now. So it is better to wait another four to six months for the baby to become strong enough to withstand surgery.
Ayham’s mother is very worried about being able to return later on for Ayham’s surgery. But she was reminded that she has been free to come to Israel for three past medical occasions on behalf of Zaed and all should be well for coming in the future.
Please pray for a miracle of life for little Ayham.
At Hadassah hospital, little Ayham is under a special medical treatment that assists with weight gain and provides him with more stability. These are both required before any surgery can be attempted.
Today Ayham’s mother was clearly grateful for everything.
While we wait, let’s pray that baby Ayham can put on some weight.
Today at Hadassah hospital in Jerusalem, a little baby named Ayham arrived. He is a two day old baby from the Gaza Strip. He has a serious condition with transposition of the great arteries. He was placed in the pediatric ICU.
The doctor told me they were going to do a catheterization and they are going to do their best to save Ayham’s life. Let’s keep praying for momma and baby for a miracle.
Time flies. Ayham was four months in Jerusalem, three months in Hadassah Hospital and one month in or Jerusalem Guesthouse.
For today the doctors have decided to discharge him. Now he can go back to Gaza to be with the whole family. His mother was very happy to finally being able to reunite with her husband and sons.
