OUR FAMILY'S CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS (7 of 7)


Here we are in the last post of the Christmas countdown series.  Still not Christmas yet.  But I hope you have started to feel the joy of Christmas already.  Cause everyday is the Lord's day right?


Unto this year's blessing.  As I write this post, I am still unsure of the outcome.  But deep down in my heart, I have a strong conviction that God makes no mistake to bring this circumstance around us this time.  Just like He didn't make mistakes in the years before.


My mom had on-again-off-again fever for several weeks.  The doctors found multiple conditions in my mom with some of them being more concerning than the others:


1) Her liver is swollen and hardening (as hard as an eraser on the pencil tip).  She has been a Hepatitis B carried for the last 15 years.  In order to make sure that this does not grow into Liver Cirrhosis, the doctor performed multiple tests on her.


2) She has pancreatic cysts.  The first time we found out about this was right after my wedding when she suddenly fell sick and had to be admitted to the ER.  The cysts have been benign all along.  However, today just now started to grow more concerned about them.  Hence, additional blood test and sonogram were performed.


3) Her diabetes and protein level are too high.


Once the blood test results come out, my sister and I will need to make a decision whether we have to fly her to Singapore for treatment in January.  Several friends from Church again joined hearts to pray with me and my sisters every day.  Even though I do not know the outcome of my mom's condition as yet, the fact that my sisters want to join in the prayer for mom is already a blessing of its own.  God definitely works in a miraculous way, doesn't He?




This year's Christmas gift: my mom's health condition.


May this be a blessing!
