So the big milestone has been achieved - Mum is safely here at our home in Asha Kiran Hospital after that long trip across the country (borne by so many, many of your prayers).
Today was a day of setting up the room for Mum - and of Sheba helping Mum in so many, many ways. There are just so many things that we take for granted in our lives - for which we need help. Mum is now sleeping peacefully - while Sheba is taking her Saturday evening Geriatric Course lesson on zoom.
Overall a good day for Mum, and she is very grateful to be alive. Mum said a number of times that she is very ready for the Lord to take her home, but that she knows that God has a plan for her. She also said that she is amazed that she has lived to be this old, and we are of course so grateful that she is still with us! As the first visitors have come to welcome her back to Asha Kiran, we have already seen her minister to others - even as she is being blessed too.
Mum still needs much prayer, as do we. Will you pray for Mum to keep getting stronger and learn to do her activities of daily living. In the meantime, please ask the Lord to bring a lady to help Mum at home in the coming days. Finding the right person is always a big ask, but the Lord can do amazing things.
As we ease into this new life here - for the next few months at least we think - we will probably start staggering our reports on Mum’s condition a bit more. You may not be getting a daily update about Mum, but please do continue your kind prayers for her. We are just humbled by all the love Mum has received so far… and know that the road ahead will have plenty of times when these prayers will continue to be needed.
Thanks for being with us so far.
Onwards!
Blessings from Andi and Sheba (on behalf of the extended Eicher family)
