__________________________********************* 21 February 2009

Sarah went back to apartment yesterday... she is getting better now.....her white blood cells has now increased...

This morning she had toast with Nutela and a glass of milk.... Mum told me, she even asked for
another slice of toast, "I'm still hungry", she said to Mum. It's a miracle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Jesus.

Dad is going back to Indonesia tonight... Please pray for Mum that God will give her strength, peace and patience to her so that she can look after Sarah well.

Sarah is getting better today...

Thanks for all the prayers for Sarah...
Sarah now is getting better. Her body temperature is back to normal. The good news also that she starts to ask something to eat which she's never done for the last 4 weeks. She's been asking for 'Nasi kuning' to her mum and everybody who comes to visit her in the hospital. It is difficult for Mum to cook 'Nasi kuning' for her as Mum has to stay with her in hospital, hopefully a friend in Singapore can make it for Sarah. She also asked 'Wafer Tango', Dad had tried to find it, however he couldn't get that brand.

Keep praying for her and family.... obviously, God answers all our prayers.....

*** Nasi kuning = yellow rice
rice cooked with coconut milk and tumeric.

******Sarah went back to Hospital last night because her body temperature was too high last night...
pray for Sarah please.

According to Sarah's Mum, Sarah has just finished her first Chemo not the fifth chemo as I wrote before (she did the 1st chemo treatment in five days). She's been doing fine so far, except one thing, she lost her appetite. she's been eating one or two very small amount of meal in a day. Sarah now stays in my friend's apartment with Mum, her Dad is going back to Indonesia tomorrow.

Sarah will be back to the hospital on the 24 February 2009 to have her second chemo. Her parents has been trying very hard to prepare Sarah for her second chemo by feeding Sarah properly with the purpose of making her body stronger to go through the chemo ,however, Sarah seems very difficult to eat anything even just to drink a quarter glass of milk or water.

Friends, let's join our hands together and pray for this intention, that God will bring back the good appetite to Sarah. Remembering that Sarah has only got one kidney, she needs to drink alot of water to keep her only one kidney works well.

Pray also for Santi that God will grant her peace and patience to look after Sarah.

I also want to say thanks for a very good friend of us, Linda, Carol and Alice.. God has sent you all to help us...thanks for letting Sarah stays in your place... God bless you.

Thank you

Thank you so much for all the prayers and support you have given to Sarah and her family.
Please continue to pray in faith for Sarah that God will perform His GLORY through Sarah.
Because, it is written in the Bible :
And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. James 5:15

Sarah today....

Sarah today....13 February 2009
Keep praying for Sarah....

Our Jesus is the God of miracles....
He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted....Job 5:9

You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.
Psalm 77:14

Diet and Cancer Research

Broccoli Helps Prevent Lung Cancer

A new study published in the Lancet suggests that the natural chemicals in broccoli, cabbage, bok choy, and other cruciferous vegetables may protect against lung cancer. Of 18,000 men studied, those with detectable isothiocyanates, a phytochemical, in their blood had a 36 percent lower chance of developing lung cancer than those with none.

Researchers warned the public not to depend on vegetables as infallible immunity against the strong cancer-causing effects of smoking or to rely on isothiocyanate supplements if they are ever produced. More than 20 different varieties of these compounds work intricately together in the body in ways that can't be duplicated in pill form. In fact, antioxidants taken in doses higher than that which occurs naturally in plant foods can actually increase cancer risk. The lesson, report investigators, is simple: "Just eat your vegetables, and lots of them."
