Hi, everyone,
This is the hardest prayer request I've ever had to write. I lived in Israel for 2 years (2012-2014) and made some great friends when I was there. I've kept up with some of them via Facebook. One couple I know has a seven-year-old daughter named Tehilla (teh-hee-la), who was born with a congenital heart defect. She had multiple surgeries when she was a baby to make her heart able to function properly.
Tehilla seemed to be doing really well from what I read of her mother's posts over the years on Facebook. Then her mother recently updated a blog/Facebook page she had used years ago to journal her daughter's progress when she was little. She updated it again yesterday and the news was not good at all.
She said Tehilla has been having symptoms that things are not right and so she had a major heart and lung functionality and stress test yesterday at the only medical center in all of Israel that provides that kind of test. They will have the final results in 3 weeks, but it's looking really serious. They are trying to just enjoy as much fun time as they can right now and just focus on being together. They went to the beach before and after the test yesterday with the cardiology team's blessing.
Tehilla means "praise" in Hebrew. Her parents gave her that name as a testament to the fact that she is a living miracle. She is also a very sweet, audacious, precocious, and hilarious little girl from what I've seen of her mother's Facebook posts about her and pictures of her.
If you can send up some prayers for Tehilla, it would be greatly appreciated. I will update this thread as much as I can, with her parents' permission.
