UPDATE: Rhonda + Baby

Dear Friends and Family,
I am pleased to announce the joyful birth of Rhonda Molgna's baby boy, endearingly named "Ted"! :-)

If you missed Rhonda's heartbreaking story, please click HERE to catch up.

Chaplain John found me this morning after my Peds Ward rounds, excited to share that Rhonda was in the final stages of delivering her baby. I went by for a visit to find the still wet newborn snuggled on a very tired mama's tummy, but everyone smiling and thankful to be through with the process.

Tonight I made another visit, bringing Rhonda some chocolates and a couple small presents for baby Ted. She was very happy to pose for a couple of pictures and wanted to say thank you to all of YOU for your prayers.

As requested, here are picture comparisons of her big toe (with cancer) before amputation, and her foot nowadays.

This newborn time is meant to be one of happiness, and I rejoice to share that Rhonda is FULL of our Lord's joy and peace. We are still waiting for the chemotherapy which is to be sent from the Lae hospital, so please keep this chemo, as well as Rhonda and baby Ted, in your prayers.

Love from PNG,
Ted (the former)
