        Dave and Jo were planning on going back to the UK for Jo to have their baby due at the beginning of the new year.  Jo was going to go first at about 30 weeks with Dave to tail behind about a month later.  Jo was beginning to be unsure about the doctors counsel here and even how far along they said she was.  She decided to go to SA to have a check up there before she went on to England.  Dave was to go with her to attend to Grace and help out thinking he would come back to Kedesh and return to England the following month.  The situation went down hill quickly and they decided on a Sunday afternoon to leave Kedesh the next day and go to Jo’burg hospital.  That same Monday night Jo had the baby premature in SA to everyone’s surprise.  Ezra was born into the world having problems breathing.  Due to his situation Dave Jo and Grace had to remain in SA for 2 months while he received intensive care and was able to fly on to England.   Living only day to day not know what was going to happen when, was a tense couple of months.  At times they were not even sure if he would make it or if he did, if he could have a normal life. One evening after his first time out of the hospital they had to give him CRP to resuscitate him then rushed him back to the hospital.  The question, if the Wests were ever going to be able to return to Kedesh at all, due to his potential health problems had to be asked as well.

  Now nearly 6 months on Ezra is doing well passing all development markers with flying colors.  The Wests have been given the green light to come back to Kedesh again by family church and doctors.  We look forward to having them back here with our newest boy and little brother.  For the time being it is just a question of when.
