Helpende hand nodig

[ Top ]


SY is baie dankbaar vir al die steun wat hulle gekry het en die nuwe asemhalingstoestel wat aan haar seun verskaf is, maar vrees dat nog 'n toestel benodig word vir haar seun om met gemak asem te haal.

Juwairiyah Scheepers se seun, Mujihid (5), is gebore met een long en moet tans vyf keer elke dag aan die Millenium M5 suurstoftoestel gekop-pel bly.

"Ons is baie dankbaar aan die Paarl Muslim Jamaa en ander borge wat dit

VOL MOED. Juwairiyah Scheepers sit ny haar seun, Mujihid (5), wat gekoppel is aan 'n suurstof- masjien. Mujihid het van geboorte af net een long en kort 'n Apnee-masjien (asemhalingsmas- jien) om gemaklikker asem te haal.

moontlik gemaak het vir my seun om die masjien te bekom. Dit is vir hom van groot waarde," sê sy.

Die PEEP-masjien veroorsaak  positiewe ekspiratoriese druk en verminder die "werk" van asemhaling.

Dit word gewoonlik gebruik op babas waarvan die longe plat geval het, om minder stres op die lugweg te plaas.

Mujihid kort nou ook 'n Apnee-toestel, wat die asemhaling nog meer sal vergemaklik en verhoed dat hy as hy slaap, ophou asem haal, maar kos sowat R5 500

Die tenger seun het oor die jare baie gewig verloor.

"Hy was sommer 'n lekker vet baba en het sowat 4kg geweeg toe hy gebore is. Tans is hy vyf en weeg maar net 12kg, minder as sy sussie (2) wat 17 kg weeg," sê sy moeder.

Volgens haar bring die seuntjie se gebrek hom nie van stryk af nie.

"Vir sy ouderdom is hy baie intelligent en verstaan alles wat rondom hom aangaan.

Hy sit sommer self vir hom die televisie aan en kyk 'n fliek, maar as hy begin moeg raak dan raak hy kriewelrig en ongeduldig," sê sy.

"Ons maak saans amper nie 'n oog toe nie. Ek luister elke keer of hy nog asemhaal en skrik vir elke geluid wat hy maak."

Maar hy is altyd in 'n goeie bui.

"Party dae as hy so siek, is vra ek hom hoe hy voel, dan sê hy net, 'ag Ma, môre skyn die son weer'."

Andrew Murray se geboortedag herdenk

[ Top ]


DIE geboortedag van Andrew Murray word Sondag om 09:30 gevier deur Lux Verbi BM en NG Moedergemeente Wellington. Die bekende, internasionale skrywer en prediker, dr Bruce Wilkinson, sal die diens lei.

By die diens sal dr Wilkinson 'n spesiale gedenkplaat ter herinnering aan Andrew Murray onthul. Daar sal ook 'n kranslegging wees van opvoedkundige instansies van die dorp by Murray se graf.

Murray se dagboek, "Die Hartklop van God", sal by die geleentheid bekend gestel word. Die dagboek is opnuut vertaal, verkort en by huidige omstandighede aangepas deur Winnie Rust.

Die Engelse titel, "The Spiritual Life" se bywerk is deur dr Wilkinson gedoen.

Andrew Murray is op 9 Mei 1928 as die tweede kind van ds en mev Andrew Murray (sr) op Graaff-Reinet gebore.

Ds Murray (sr) was een van die Skotse predikante wat gedurende die 1820's na Suid-Afrika gekom het om die dringende tekort aan predikante aan te vul.

Andrew (jr) en sy broer, John, het hul skoolopleiding in Skotland ontvang. Albei het ook in 1845 die graad M.A. aan die Aberdeense universiteit behaal en toe teologie in Utrecht gaan studeer.

In 1849 word die jong Andrew predikant in Bloemfontein. In 1860 verhuis hy na Worcester, in 1862, op 34 jaar, word hy moderator van die Sinode.

Op 21 September 1871 word hy op Wellington bevestig. Hy bly hier tot sy dood in 1917.
