Pray-ers:
I don't usually post prayer requests on this blog but this is urgent....
I
have a very urgent prayer request for our 14 year-old student Jeanette. As you
know, Jeanette is HIV positive and is also seven months pregnant. She was
getting better with her meds but now her health has taken a turn for the
worse.
For
those who don’t know much about HIV (and I don’t either), the virus attacks and
kills white blood cells (these cells look after the immune system and keep us
healthy). The white blood cell count in a healthy person is more than
1200. The number of cells decrease when a person is HIV positive. When an HIV
positive person gets below 200, they are considered to have contracted AIDS.
The
latest count in Jeanette is 41, which is fatal. If her drugs do not kick
in more and work immediately, she will die and so will the baby.
Her
due date is Sept 26.
Please
join us in prayer as we pray for a miracle. God is bigger than this. This is
heartbreaking stuff, especially for a 14 year-old. Today was one of the hardest
days for our partner Yvonne as she walks through this with Jeanette and her mom
Sara.
Thanks.
