I covet your prayers for my 18 month old granddaughter, Olivia Abrahams. This past Saturday when she was over at my house to play with "Pop" (that's me):), I noticed that she had several pretty good sized bruises on her legs, a couple on her arms and a small on her left temple. I asked my daughter what had happened and she said nothing that should have caused all the bruising. She then took off Olivia's tennis shoes and everywhere that the shoes were secured on her foot there was a bruise. I told her that she had to take the baby to the doctor as early as she could get an appointment.

She was able to get an appointment for yesterday afternoon and they discovered that her platelet count is down to 47,000 when it should be between 250,000 and 350,000. We are believing that it is just a viral infection that is causing the problem but as some of you may know this could be the indication of a much more serious condition. Either way, right now she is at risk because if she is injured in any way her blood will not clot and she could hemorrhage internally even if there is no external bleeding.

I think Olivia is due for a follow up with the doctor on Thursday (I am not sure if that is this week or next) but I know that Dr. Jesus can make a house call today and confound the other doctors on Thursday, which ever it is.

Please pray for a miracle that HE might be glorified!

Bro. Phil,

From one grand parent's heart to another...I read this request and after posting this I am going to my prayer closet. I will lift Olivia up before Jesus as I would and have my grandchildren.

Jesus, as we all know loves the children, and His heart is that she be healed.

Praying now.

In God's grip, Rhoni

You've said it all, Brother!!! I am agreeing with you in prayer right now for Olivia, asking Dr. Jesus to do what he needs to do to make her whole and healthy once more.

Bless you all in Jesus Name!

I want to give a recent report of what the Lord did for a Sister in our church,

She was about 3/4 weeks away from the date of delivering her baby. Dr noticed the baby was not gaining weight. They started stress test 2x a week to monitor baby, and ultrasounds weekly.

The Dr said the best they could hope for was a 1/2 lb gain per week, but still would have a baby weighing under 5 lbs. At this time the baby was close to 3 lbs.

The second week into this, the baby jumped by 3 lbs. The Dr was truly amazed. Sis April said to the Dr..Maybe your test were wrong...( she knew the Lord had answered prayer) He responded NO, all of the test indicated the same thing... She delivered a baby that weighed over 6 lbs. God is so good. :happydance

Hope this encourages you.

Thanks, CC1 and all who prayed!

We serve an AWESOME GOD!!!!!!

We took Olivia to the Doctor today and her platelets were 352,000!!!!! up from 47,000.

The Dr. was like a kid in a candy store. He said it was very, very unusual for such a full recovery in just over a week! He then proceeded to tell us that we could now talk about the gravity of her situation last week. He said that based on how low her platelets were he really expected her situation to deteriorate and not get better. He said he was pretty sure it was going to be leukemia. He was ecstatic and struggling not to giggle when he told us the news.

Thank you JESUS!!!!
