Update #1, 14th July 08

Thanks again for all the prayer for our little son.

Today we had a bit of a scare... The Doctor came in and told us that he had been twitching all morning and he suspected it was brain damage... Not exactly the thing you want to hear first thing in the morning...

So the doc hooked Elijah upto the brain monitor again and a few hours latter told us he couldnt see anything wrong... Funny that!

We are waiting for the specialist to come in becuase they have found that Elijah has something blocking his nasle passages, it could either be skin or bone... Either way they said it is not a major to fix but that would have been the reason that he could not breath at birth... So, the specialist which was ment to come in today we have now found out is on holidays until next monday..... So they have put Elijah's name down at Starship in Auckland and if there are any openings there he will put moved up there but if nothing comes up, we will be just hangin out till monday... But! We are still praying and believing that God heals! So we most likely wont even need any specialist at all...

So after getting told all that and dealing with it all, we came back into the room to be told that Amberley could finally hold here baby boy!!!!!!! Basically, everything we were just told faded away and was forgotten as our precious little boy lay peacefully in his mothers arms. For the hour and a bit that he lay there the world and its problems were as far away as they could be and everything just seemed to stop as we had our moment with our son that we had been aching for, for what seems like forever...

So the latest to pray for is;

Obviously that God will do the operation that Elijah needs
And that if it comes to surgery, that God would get Elijah to exactly the right Specialist that He knows to be best for us.

Thanks again to you all, it means so much to us that we have so many people helping us on...

God Bless,

Josh, Amberley & ELIJAH aka The Man!
