Help
My sister, Jenny's grandson Rikus (5) got hold of poisen. They live on a farm. The child's heart stopped and they could not get it started. He is in hospital and we are waiting to hear some news. This is the same sister who's other daughter Jennifer-Ann recently gave birth to Elani. Elani is still in ICU and not drinking enough. Jenny is so stressed. Could you please say a prayer for Rikus. The family is in a state.
Just got news, the small town hospital can't help him and they are flying him to Rustenberg.
UPDATEThey managed to get the child's heart going.. Still not breathing and now having convulsions. According to Jenny he is getting worse.A farm worker was mixing the poisen getting ready to spray. It was in a COKE bottle. He was called away and he put the bottle on the kitchen table. Rikus came past and thought it was his coke and drank. His mom hit the bottle out of his hand but it was to late.Please keep praying for this little boy. The family is at the hospital now.
UPDATE:
Thank you all for your prayers. Little Rikus did not make it. He passed away an hour ago. This photo was taken just before he died. Please keep my family in your prayers. We are all devastated.

So sorry Belle - I will start prayers for him and the baby - what is his last name? I'd like to put their names on our temple prayer list as well. Just PM me and I will do it. Hugs and love.

Oh Belle, that is just devastating news! I will pray that things will work out for him. Also for poor little Elina. Your family has really been through it here lately. I will also pray for strength to you all.

May angels of strength and healing be with Rikus and Elani, and may angels of wisdom and healing guide their medical care teams.

I've been trying to catch up after being away for a week. I am so full or sorrow to hear this. I will certainly offer up your family in prayer.

Oh, Belle, I don't know what to say. I don't think there IS anything to say except I'm so sorry. What a horrible thing your family is going through! I just said a prayer for them that they will know and feel God with them and that they will know that their precious little boy is now with Jesus.
