Chelsea's doctor called. Dr. Troyer explained to us that Chelsea has about a 20% chance of survival. But even if she did survive, there would be extreme organ damage, including the brain. If God were to perform a miracle, it would have to be now...
soli deo gloria,

Dear Young and Yu Ran,
The Lord has brought us to meet today for a reason. I am sitting here in the John Muir Medical Center, in a waiting room during shift change and am praying hard for Chelsea. Chelsea's prognosis brings tears to my eyes and pain to my heart, as our daughter, Katelynn, was born with an E. Coli infection and we were also uncertain about her survival. The day after our twins' birth, I learned about the extent of Katelynn's infection and her subsequent grade 4 intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). During my pain, I wrote in my blog and want to share this excerpt with you:
During a quiet time I had to myself, I thought about the account of Abraham and his son, Isaac, in the Bible. Abraham’s trust in God allowed him to have enough faith to be obedient, even to the point of being willing to sacrifice his only son simply because God commanded him to do so. As Abraham was preparing to take his son’s life, God intervened, stopped Abraham and provided a ram to be the sacrafice. Every time I think about my tiny and fragile daughters, I try to tell myself that I should follow the example of Abraham and be willing to let God have Katelynn and Daria. If this means that He takes them now or later, I want to be able to say that they are His and be at peace with His will for them. It is so easy to wish to be that strong and so difficult to allow the heart to accept this. I am not ready to let them go, even though I know that I need to prepare myself to be ready.
The rest of my entry can be found here (http://owyang.wordpress.com/2008/01/31/january-29-2008-the-emotional-roller-coaster-with-no-end-in-sight/), and I encourage you to read it, and knowing that while I cannot completely understand your suffering, I want you to know that God is there with you and will always be.
In Christ's love,

Dear Pastor Young and Yu-Ran,
I am so amazed by your faithfulness in God through this, for sure God is using this situation. I pray for your children, cause i remember when i heard you were having triplets i was so excited, but then i heard news of what happen. The trust you have for God is so mind boggling, and i thank you for that show of faith. I am praying for you earnestly and that Gods arms may be around your children and bring to us his glory and power in this. God bless.

Dear Young and Yu Ran,
This indeed is a very difficult news. As I told Yu Ran, although I've never met Chelsea, she has a special place in my heart and I felt that I've known and loved her for years. It brings me tears every time I get the updates from you. We are praying for all of them especially Chelsea. I can't imagine what you and Yu Ran has to endure. God's not only using this to rework both of you but us too. However, please be reassure that God has his perfect plan and may all the glories be his at the end. Let's all rely on God's strength for a difficult situation like this.
take good care,
Marge
Hey Pastor Young and Yuran SMN... I believe God is breathing health into Chase, Charissa, and Chelsea right now. And I believe He is working His will in you and your wife. I'm continuing to pray for you guys and the little ones. God continuously bless you guys!
We are praying.
We do serve a God of miracles. I pray that you continue to remain strong in Him and know deeply that He is with you in this time.
Young and Yu Ran, I, too, pray for God's work in the lives of Chase, Charissa and Chelsea. I pray that God would heal your children that they may grow to learn of and know of your great faith and love for them. They have not done anything to deserve such love. It is simply because they are your children. What an amazing glimpse of God's grace! I pray that through all of this your beautiful children may know and encounter the power of our great God! Shalom!
