It seems the time has come to write about personal prayer needs. We have two granddaughters (10 and 11 years old). The older one, Vladislava, suffered from chickenpox about a year ago, and as the doctors said, this led to type 1 diabetes. This means that she needs to take insulin injections 4-5 times a day and another injection at night for the rest of her life. Injections are given in the stomach, leg, and shoulder. Often, bruises and bumps form at the injection appear, and the injections themselves are painful. But if this is not done – the person dies.
Over the year of illness, Vladislava has been hospitalized for the third time, she is disabled and receives a pension. Part of the medicine (insulin) and syringe are provided by the hospital, but this is not enough, and additional medicine must be purchased. Vladislava is in the hospital due to high blood sugar levels, which lead to severe complications – leg pain, weakness, and deteriorating vision.
A child with such a disease cannot eat many of the regular foods we consume, and each time the food needs to be weighed to calculate the correct insulin dose. Products for diabetics in our country are very expensive. Our granddaughter Vladislava loves to knit; she knitted children’s toys for our ministry in Vietnam, and we distributed them to children.
Precious brothers and sisters, friends. You always support us in prayer, and in this need, please support us in prayer for Vladislava, for her healing and recovery.
From the bottom of our hearts and souls, we thank you for your labor of love in God’s work on the New Fields. May the Lord abundantly bless and reward you!
