Cupoftea and Beatrice needs us - lift up your hands!

Cupoftea's beautiful Beatrice was born last September with a number of serious disabilities and medical problems. Her life expectancy is likely to be limited and she has spent a lot of time in hospital both with feeding and respiratory difficulties. She is a treasured daughter and sister and Cup is an amazing mother who has shared Bea's journey with mumsnet.
Today she has again been admitted to hospital and they need our prayers and positive thoughts.
A few weeks ago we had a missionary speaking at our church and she referred to a part on Exodus when Joshua is fighting a battle. Moses is up on the hill and when he raises his hands to God the Isrealites are winning the battle. When he lowers them they start to lose. So when he grows tired Aaron and Hur prop him up on a rock and they hold his hands up. That's stuck with me as a picture and that's what Bea needs from us now. Hold up your hands in prayer:

For thanksgiving for Bea
For strength and peace for her mum and dad and sisters
For wisdom and compassion for all the medical team caring for Bea
For miracles - we don't always know what they look like bu miracles happen. I have faith.

If you prayer is your not thing then please think about Beatrice and her mum because they need you to hold them up.

Good news on Cup's thread. Beatrice is much better and she hopes to get her home tomorrow. Keep lifting up your hands in thanksgiving and prayer for this precious little girl and her wonderful family. We know that our Father hears and answers our prayers.

fingers X she is back home tomorrow....

Cup still very much needs our prayers. Beatrice's temperature went back up so they haven't got home. Cup is having a tough time. Her dh is having a tough time and this is really hard for them as a couple.

Lift up your hands in prayer for them please.

Holding them in my thoughts and love

Bumping this because Bea is in a lot of pain and needs our prayers. I'm also going to repost in Chat because I want to reach as many people as possible. Cup's arms must be tired - we need to hold her up.

This is her up date from this morning

'Beatrice had an awful night. She was thrashing in pain and crying out. Nothing was settling her. Codeine wasn't touching the pain. They gave buscopan (sp) as a bowel relaxant in case the erythromycin was causing spasms in the gut. That helped for an hour, then she was banging her head and legs again. This morning they are going to do xrays, blood tests and give her morphine. I'll let you know if we get any results.'

I put this in chat too, but I think this song is very pertinent; especially this line:

not religious but sending thoughts xxx

startail · 30/05/2012 01:09

Please let little Bea have a restful night and cup of Tea too!

Northernlurker · 30/05/2012 12:45

Lewis - will have a look at that song when i'm home later but it sounds lovely.

Good news from cup on her thread 'Beatrice had a very settled night and woke this morning looking a lot more alert. '
