Jonah Silverberg Update--Cardiac Arrest and Aftermath
It has been a while since I posted an update from fellow missionaries Marty and Val Silverberg (serving in Bronx, NY) regarding their infant son, Jonah. Many have been asking what has happened. Previous updates can be seen here.
The following is from the two most recent e-mails they have sent out:
Dear Praying Friends, As i write this e-mail, Jonah is in cardiac arrest. The team of doctors is working feverishly over himto try to revive him. After 2 weeks in Blythedale in Val Halla NY, Jonah had respiratory distress on Sat. and was transferred back to the Bronx to the PICU. He was better until he underwent a Barium procedure and X-Rays, when he developed a fever. Last night he was revived from cardiac arrest, now he he in arrest again. Jonah will be 6 months old on Tuesday, Lord willing. Thank you so very much for your prayers.
A few days later we received this report:
Dear Praying Family, Jonah was resuscitated and is now resting under sedation.This has been very difficult. God is very good to us. Thank you for your prayers. In Christ's Love, Marty for Val
It is easy to type the words "God is very good to us" when things are going well. You know a person really believes it, however, when they can write it while facing the kind of trials Mary and Val have been facing.
