A GLORIOUS weekend

Wow, what a weekend. We have already been last weekend Saturday in Kraaifontein at a meeting with Todd Bentley's healing revival service. How amazing. On our way home Celina moved her legs the whole way home.
Since then she is also very alert and laughing a lot. Then last Friday we went again. We saw a blind woman receiving her eye sight and some deaf people could hear perfectly again and cancer, arthritis and many other sicknesses healed.
On Saturday we went once again. A lady at the meeting had blessed us with petrol money to be able to come back. This night they had prayer lines and Celina was in it. After Todd prayed for her he stepped back and looked at Celina and her face looked so amazing. He said that Celina knows the Holy Spirit. And he gave us some testimonies of other children with a similar condition who were healed some of them not immediately. The one took 8 month to recover completely.
During the service some people broke out into Holy Spirit laughter. When they finally stopped and Todd started teaching Celina burst out laughing for a while.
She is much more loose now in her legs and generally, still bursts out into laughter some now and again. And when I put her on the tummy today she lifted up her head for quite a while and started laughing again.

head up and laughing and looking in the mirror in front of her

Down again and still laughing

 

All that in one weekend. We are believing for complete healing. Who is going to hear the first word and who is going to see the first step. I am so exited. God is good has always been and will always be.

 

Thank You Lord for an amazing weekend, for boosting our faith and for loving us. Thank You for the leg movements, the laughter and the lifting up of her head. Thank You for giving Celina strength to do all those things. And mostly thank You for her complete healing which has started now and will not end until she is back to complete restoration of her whole body.

We praise You and we worship You our Lord and our King!

  

A long Month

Wow this May seemed to have just no end. On the 6.May Celina got out of hospital all healthy and happy again. We spent the last Saturday and Sunday in hospital racing Celina in her standingframe through the long hospital hallways and had such fun. I should have had somebody running with us and filming it.
Since we are back home she is standing every single day and is very happy with it. No problems at all besides maybe the cold weather.

First we tried some warmer clothe Ok that is better but still cold

now that is nice and warm ...blanket wrapped around...yepee....and a warm drink

And now it is really getting too cold and we started putting on the heater. And then it works also without the blanket.
For afterwards I got a little friend to help keep me keep warm.

mommy?......Moooommmm help he is getting a bit heavy on my legs..... warm but heavy

alright that is better. He seems to really like me and he is warm and cuddly

But must he really kiss me???? Urg that is wet and cold.



The time goes slow but steady. The weather is getting worse and worse. Cape Town winter ....stormy and wet. I hate winter. It means not a lot of walks and a lot of time inside. Celina is having lots of position changes and animal therapy. Tigger is a lot around her and she likes to look at our fishies. From Monday to Thursday is school getting there in wind and weather and then on Fridays Mommy helps at the craftworkshop at the Chaeli Campaign which is lots of fun. Sometimes when Ma doesn't have the time to look after Celina I take her with me. She can either watch the others do their craft projects or if I have the time I do a little project with her. But normally she spents the Friday morning with Ma and she is getting a nice bath with hairwash and all by our wonderful nurse Eldah from the Westlake  homebased care. And then there are still all the therapies. Most of them are done at school but on Friday afternoon Celina has her second Occupational therapy session for the week and this one is with Ingrid. Ingrid is doing a lot of play with Celina and a lot of communication via flash cards. This works very well already and Celina gives her answers by looking at the appropriate card. Dolly is a big part of the session too. We are seeing some seizures at the moment but I am quite sure that is
 coming from a very irregular stool which is slowly becoming regular again and the seizures getting out of the picture too. This constipation is often due to the medication Celina had in hospital or when we had to stop the supplements because of financial challenges. But now everything is back on track.

Thank you Ingrid for the wonderful work you are doing with Celina. Celina is combing Dollys hair.

 

Thank you Lord for all the wonderful helpers and therapist you placed in our lifes.

 

 

Still in hospital

Now it is Wednesday already and we are still in hospital. Celina is much better although we had a little bit of a problem with her lunch today. It wasn't properly pureed and there was a lot of pieces in. Dangerous pieces and Celina started choking and was coughing for a while. After that she sounded again like a tractor. The nurse put on a neb immediately to help open the airways. It helped a little and then later the physio did the rest. Chest physio and suction. Celina had already slept til 12 and had no food until then and now this. So she just had a couple of spoons of her lunch. The last night was also a little rocky and I am very tired. I think it was just a problem with the position.
Now her eyes are glued to the TV watching Ratatouille with earphones.
After physio this afternoon we put her in the standing frame and she stayed there for about 30 minutes without any problems.
And then finally something into her stomach. Just fruit and yogurt but at least something. Now we are waiting for her supper in the hope that it will be pureed properly this time.

No problem! I am strong!!! Pneumonia is not getting ME down. I am weak but the Lord makes me strong. Thank you Lord.

 

THANK YOU LORD FOR OUR STRONG GIRL!!! 

Here we go again

Friday night at 11.30 pm we were sitting once again in the emergency rooms of Constantiaberg hospital. Celina was breathing very heavy and wheezy. After the doctor checked on her she was admitted to hospital. The first night we were in the normal children ward and then the next morgen they put her into highcare because her oxygen stats were so bad that she needed to go on oxigen.
She was started already in emergancy on nebulizers and then Saturday afternoon on antibiotics. Now its a night in highcare and it almost seems like her breathing is going worse again. But at least she is caughing nicely now, not only after the lung physio but also inbetween. Its 9.45pm and my child is still wide awake. They also put a drip in so that she gets enough liquid because she hadn't had a wee the whole day.
It's almost like the week had been too good and the devil could not watch this any longer and had to again throw a spanner in the wheel. Hey, we are still rolling and the spanner will break and the wheel will roll full power again because if God is for us who can be against us. Our Lord will never leave nor forsake us. Thank You Lord.

My poor little angel must suffer again

 

Celina by Jesus stripes you are healed.

Thank You Lord for giving your only son for us so that we can be saved, healed,healthy,prosper, delivered, and protected!

A great day

This afternoon after I fetched Celina from school we went to our appointment with the orthopaedic Surgeon. He was just blown away when I told him that Celina is now standing in her standing frame for about 45 minutes twice a day. He was very happy with Celina's progress and her recovery. And also that she is completely pain free. He says the left leg is still a little tighter then the right one but that is not hindering anything in her every day life. We also did a scoliosis study to compare with last years we did in January 2012. There is no change to the worse. I am very happy with the development and progress. We had a great day finishing off with going for a walk as a family through Wynberg park and another 30 minutes of standing before I got my angel into bed. She was so tired after this busy day that she was asleep in no time.

Standing is great.

Thank you Lord for the wonderful progress Celina is making and for the amazing day we had.
