Thank you for praying for Nimrod!

The news is really good, his recovery is progressing! His dad says that: “Babies after this operation usually are not capable of sleeping longer then 30-40 min and only in arms… due to the shock of operation, pain of the head…” But in this case our little buddy “slept twice last night both times it was few hours, and in his bed”!

Furthermore!!! “If all stays this way, I can go and pick them up tomorrow afternoon!!!”

This is clearly God answering our prayers!!!

Please keep up the prayers. God is answering!

Please #prayForNimrod (ongoing updates)

Friday morning: no real improvement today so far, please keep up your kind prayers.

Thursday morning: we just learned that our little 7 month old buddy Nimrod kept his food down for the last 12 hours!

But the swelling and pressure are still a serious concern. Doctors are working so please join us in praying. Today is day two of the critical 48hour post surgery period. Please pray that the pressure would subside and for mom and dad who, of course as we all would in this case, feel so helpless.

Your prayers are needed for a 7 month old boy named Nimrod, the son of long time friends Laci and Keri in Hungary. Sometime Tuesday he will be having surgery to correct a misshapen skull. Please retweet, favorite and like to pass this around and get folks praying. Thanks!

Tuesday morning USA time,Doc says surgery went well!! Thanks be to God!!! Please keep praying for full recovery and for mom and dad as they wait (especially mom at the hospital in another city and dad at home with the three older siblings who started school yesterday).

Update on Tuesday afternoon USA Eastern time: Next 48 hours are important for recovery. PLEASE keep praying!!!

Wednesday morning: little Nimrod didn’t have a great night. Please pray for him to gain strength and for swelling to go down. Thanks for praying!

Wednesday afternoon: It is evening in Hungary and the news about little Nimrod is less than good. He is swelling, feverish and not keeping food down. We really need your prayers NOW!! Please pray for his recovery and for his mom to be strengthened as she is at the hospital with him while dad takes care of three big sisters.

New Russia – what Putin really wants

So the name ‘New Russia’ is back in the news as NovoCzar Vladimir the KGB agent gets ‘interviewed’ by a lake in Russia. In said interview Putin called again for Kyiv to negotiate with the terrorists and mercenaries he has facilitated in Ukraine.

This ‘New Russia’ idea is an old one dating from Czarist days (appropriate for the NovoCzar Vladimir don’t you think?). You can read about the ‘New Russia’ here, be sure to scroll down in the ‘History’ section to see the 1921 Soviet poster that proclaims “Donbass is the heart of Russia” which says a lot.

So shortly after Czar Vladimir called the area ‘New Russia’ a Kremlin spokesman back pedaled to ‘clarify’ what the ~~Soviet Premier~~, oh, sorry, the Russian president said.

Meanwhile, the EU has appointed a new foreign policy chief from Italy (yes, Italy) who was originally opposed by many of the eastern EU nations because she may be soft on Russia.

Please pray for Ukraine.
