Christian apologist Wesley Huff has thanked supporters for praying for his family after his 3-year-old daughter was hospitalized with multiple seizures. In an update shared after her discharge, Huff said she was back home and resting.
"Thank you for praying everyone," Huff wrote, according to ChurchLeaders. His message followed a series of posts in which he had asked for prayer and shared what was happening as his daughter received care.
Huff first told followers that his daughter had suffered a severe seizure early in the morning and had been rushed to the hospital. His initial message was brief and ended with a simple request for prayer. In a later post, Huff said his daughter had experienced another series of seizures after her medication wore off. She was admitted to the hospital for the night.
Huff reported that she was stable at the time of that update and expressed his gratitude in the middle of the emergency. "Thanks be to God she is still with us," he wrote.
As the family waited at the hospital, Huff described a long, largely sleepless night. He said his daughter's seizures had occurred primarily in the evening and early morning. He told followers she was safe at the time of his post and spoke candidly about his own exhaustion.
Huff kept his discharge announcement short. He thanked those who had prayed and told them his daughter was home and resting. His updates, as reported by ChurchLeaders, gave no diagnosis or further details about her care after discharge.
Huff is the vice president of Apologetics Canada and a doctoral candidate in New Testament and Christian Origins at Wycliffe College at the University of Toronto. He and his wife, Melissa, have four children.
