Update #4, 6th Aug 08

God has shown us that He is fact and everything else is assumption! - Josh Klink
Well it has been an interesting last few days... We got back from Auckland on the 1st of August. The Doctor sat us down that night and told us a whole heap of bad news that we didnt want to hear at all, but again alot of it was just worst case senario kinda stuff... Elijah on the other hand is looking good. He is breathing well and is now going to be learning how to breast feed.

So when he is comfortable with feeding we will be more or less able to go home... The Stents that are in his nose are booked in to come out on the 26th of August. It looks like we will be in hospital till at least then because they need to be suctioned out quite often and if they're not then he cant breath well. So all going to plan, his stents will come out on the 26th and he will be feeding well so we will be off home with our Son!!! But the ENT specialist says that when they take the stents out they have to have a look inside his nose and make sure everythings 'ok' then he is right to come home, there is the chance in their mind that the stents might need to go back in again for a couple more weeks, which would mean that we could be at the hospital for longer again... But God is good and that is what we are relying on cause as we have come to realize over this last few weeks that is the only thing that you can rely on.

He is booked in for an M.R.I scan on friday for further checks on his brain.... They're really persistant with trying to find something wrong... We know nothings wrong but hey, some people take a bit longer to catch the bus than others... Especially when faith is involved...

So the lastest prayer needs are;

That he would breast feed well and quickly.

That the stents would come out and stay out on the 26th.

Keep praying that his heart would be totally healed and that his sight and hearing would be 100%... They havent found anything wrong with his hearing but with what they think he has they do suspect it...

We have decided that we are just going to love our son to life... Which we know is a revelation from God because we were reminded today that faith works through love and as we sit there each day looking at our boy, loving him completely, its so easy to rest in that peace that God has for us, knowing that its all in His hands.

We sing and read about faith that moves mountains, but until you have stood and looked at a mountain and comanded it to move you dont truely understand how crazy Jesus is in saying that... We are standing comanding this mountain to move and its here that we see how truely good our God is! The so called mountain that we are facing at the moment looks like a mere dot when we keep our focus on Him rather than on this world!

Thanks for all the love and support,

God Bless,

Josh, Amberley and Elijah
