Misdiagnosis or Divine Intervention?

21st August 2008

Sometimes we wonder why God allows trials in our lives. Why some trials are prolonged, like JoAnn's problems, and why some are so short and sweet like ours.

Could it be a simple case of misdiagnosis? Or was it really a Dermoid cyst that God really shrunk despite the medical impossibility? The article (below) says that a Corpus Luteum cyst is "fluid-filled", whereas a Dermoid cyst is solid tissue. From the ultrasound pictures, the cyst was definitely opaque and solid-like.

Even during the last scan, I could see a brief flash of confusion in Dr Tee's eyes. He didn't expect the cyst to shrink. He wasn't confident of what kind of cyst we were dealing with. The usual "No problem, I've seen this a thousand times" composure dissipated for that brief moment.

We vividly remember exclaiming "Thank God" and "God is so good to us", in response to which, Dr Tee asked "Which God is that?". God allowed us to 'coincidentally' (aka Divine arrangement) select a Gynae who's a friend of the Chuas.

I do believe, not only is God building our faith in Him, but he is showing himself real to Dr Tee, who does not know him.

Please pray with us as we invite him and his wife to join us for Church Anniversary. Mrs Chua will follow up after we give him the invitation during our next appointment on 13th Sept 08.
