dear friends,

i just got an email, written by linda- the sister of wanying. maybe i should just share it here...

Hi my friends,
the neurologists and medical team at NUH have told us on 14th Jan that Wan may die and prepared us for the worst possible scenario.
They gave background information of similar cases that he had seen before. All 4 patients diagnosed with the same condition did not survive.
My family was desperate and felt totally helpless.

16th Jan-Wan was transferred to High Dependency unit, finally out of ICU.
17th Jan-Wan was much more awake, she moved her hands and legs (jerking movements) and still had slight fits.

The medical team at NUH said that if she does not recover 1 month from the admission date, her chances would be very very slim. More than 3 weeks
have passed since she was warded on Christmas Eve. Time is running out on our side.
They keep saying that she is critically ill and that all we can do is to wait for her body to fight the infection and see how she reacts to it.

Yesterday, my father issued me an ultimatum. He said to get all my church friends and all Christian forces to stop praying for Wanying. He said that her recovery is hampered because of the clash of forces.

I never expected this to come from him and its hard to obey what he said. I however agreed, on teh surface. This is really a spiritual battle, I
know that if anything happens to Wan, she will go to heaven and that is the most important thing for me to know if anything happens to her.

Please pray for the following :
1) Wanying will live and testify of God's glory, that God save her life for a higher puropse and calling
2) Jesus will cover Wan with his blood and protect her from all wiles of Satan
3) Wanying's organs and bodily functions will be preserved
4) Wanying's seizures and heat will go away
5) Wanying's condition to improve dramatically - every bit of the virus to leave her body
6) She will have a spirit of faith, hope and love even as she fights this battle in NUH. My parents' and brother's salvation-they will see God's hand in all these things
7) She will be discharged and we can all go home soon
8) Speedy recovery upon discharge
9) Strength and hope to bind the family together
10) For me to trust and have faith in God and wait upon Him, to know and believe that in all things, He works for the good of those who love him. I am the only believer at home, fighting this battle. I need you to join me and move mountains together

Thanks

Love, God bless
Linda




i know for those non-belivers out there, its hard for you to belive in spiritual-battle. but it really happens, everyday, every single moment. the devil tries to hard to break us down, to try and tear down our faith in God, so that we will fall...and fall into the devil's grasp. to me, i feel that it's basically a battle of who has more 'souls'....and i really do hope mine is on the Lord's side now.

we all fall at some point. we are not perfect.

and for wanying, i just really really pray that her heart and faith are still strong, that while her body is fighting the virus, she is fighting her own spiritual battle.
before she left the church, she had so much faith, love and enthusiasm for God, and i'm sure that it's all still somewhere in her.

all this time has passed and the medical team has not had good news, but i dunno why but deep inside me i feel that wanying will pull thru. it's like a kind of assurance that i feel.

with this hope that i have, and the fact that she is still alive, i beg of you all...
please pray for her.
even if you are not a believer, i am sure that if you do pray, the Lord or His angels will definately hear it.
and so will the devil, may he hear it and know that we are not giving up on this battle and that he will leave the family alone.

thanx
