Prayer requests for Samuel 2nd chemo (26/7 TUE – 29/7 FRI)

Thanksgiving



Thank GOD that we have finally managed to establish the skype account to

Sunday School yesterday so that Sam can continue to enjoy sunday school

Thanks to Suzanne and her team. May God continue to shower this blessing

for Sam to worship HIM.





Thank GOD for showing us HIS love through brothers and sisters who have

showered their love sarcrificially and making this journey more bearable ...

and may many others(non-believers) see HIM at work too ...





Prayer requests for Samuel





For GOD to grant Derrick, Claire and Samuel the peace which HE alone can

provide. Pray for Derrick and Claire to stay calm with Samuel and help us see

hospitalization from Samuel's point of view (eg he told us he cannot bear

the 45 min in the MRI laying still). Help us to anticipate and quell his fears

(nausea and vomitting). Lead us all to health care workers that will also

love and respect Samuel. Pray for unity, respect for each other, love, peace N joy!




Pray that the chemo to have positive effect in the shrinking of the tumour

and removal of the 2 spots in Samuel's lungs. He has been coughing on

and off. Please plead with GOD together with us to clear these spots.

Pray for HIS protection and complete healing.




For God's mercy and miracle that we need not have to go through so many

rounds of chemo to shrink the tumour. Was told by a Pastor Joshua

(his son had osteosacroma another kind of bone cancer) , that after 3rd

chemo, his son was ready for surgery to remove the tumor.

Today, he is back in school ... Praise God.





Samuel's treatment is

a) 6 mth of chemo to shrink the tumour

b) surgery to remove the tumour

c) 8 mth of chemo/radiotherapy to eradicate all remaining cancer cell


For GOD to encourage us to trust and have faith in HIM, draw strength

from HIS word. For myself(Claire), I am claiming Isaiah 40:11 this week.

I do struggle with caregiving and cooking(in particular food - fully cooked??)

For Samuel, he is lost in his world (computers , PSP, TV and books),

may HE guide us to help him to draw strength from the KING's word too.

Incidentally, Samuel wants to invite everyone who support us to enjoy a big

feast with him once he recovers!

For God's provision for a Class A so that both Derrick and Claire can be with Samuel.
