    More from Vandenberg

    God let ask Himself by us.

     

    A few months ago I was glad to be grandfather again for the sixth time and with the sixth grandson in line. So I wrote here about him.

    Sieto was a big baby of 5080 grams, and was therefore very difficult to be delivered, so he was born with evident signs of an Erb's paralyzes or pareses of the left arm.

    His mother just works daily with such kind of little children with some handicaps and therefore she was extra concerned about her own baby.

    As a retired physician I pray to Our Lord as the Great Healer and ask Him ardently to be merciful and to cure that so intrusively and literally obvious handicap.

    He is the Great Creator of all creatures and marvelous things and the Universe.

    Therefore I ask Him humbly to restore the very difficult anatomic structures, as He as the Great Architect knows very well the building schemes.

    Yes happily this syndrome cures in many cases, but you have to wait and hope and in severe cases it is obvious, that you have to consider the consequences for such a young beginning life.

    So you have also to consider the mental and material investments of the parents in the future.

    That is a burden, very difficult to estimate.

    Therefore I ask Our Lord to intervene in their lives and to bless them and if it pleases Him to cure him.

    All I can say, that He clearly heard our prayers and Sieto was surprisingly doing very well in the eyes of the treating specialists.

    Now he is declared cured and a vivacious and sparkling big baby.

     

    So we thank God for His warm blessings.
