Camelia Wattimury

Berkat Ambon has been contacted regarding baby Camelia Wattimury, 7 months old, living in Piru. She has been diagnosed with hydrocephalus and does not yet have BPJS (Indonesian health insurance).

The father, Yandri Wattimury, is 21 years old, and works uncertain jobs. The mother, Jenny Teken, is 22 years old.

However, there is no plan yet for Camelia's treatment. Until now, we are still waiting for the opportunity to proceed with further examinations. For brothers and sisters who would like to help with transportation and examination costs for this beloved child in Ambon, you can contact Berkat Ambon via Messenger. May Lord Jesus open the way so that Amelia can be taken to Ambon for further treatment.

Update 10/14/24: Baby Amelia was scheduled to have a consultation with the doctor tomorrow at 1 p.m., but this evening she developed a fever and had to be taken to the hospital for further treatment. Amelia was born perfectly healthy, but at 3 weeks old, she started having seizures. Since she was 3 months old, she began experiencing head enlargement and was taken to a pediatrician in Masohi, where fluid was found in her head, and she had to be referred, but due to family circumstances, it is only now that Amelia can be brought to Ambon. The prayers of many people will bring about great change for baby Amelia.

Amelia has been put on an IV to reduce her fever. After that, she was allowed to go home. We are looking for a temporary stay for Amelia along with her grandparents as they are unable to return to Batu Gong at the family house, as it's too far away. A boarding house near the hospital costs about 1,250,000 IDR. Bed supplies, food, and other necessities need to be brought in by ourselves. Those who wish to help ease the costs for Amelia can contact Berkat Ambon.

Tonight, after the IV, Amelia is able to go home and move into the boarding room. May the Lord Jesus bless and open the way for Amelia.

10/15/24: Amelia and her grandparents are now in the boarding house. On October 22, the doctor will be back to work, and Amelia can have her follow-up check-up. All of Amelia and her grandparents' needs for food and transportation are being supported by Berkat Ambon. Many thanks to everyone who continues to donate through Berkat Ambon; it has all been a blessing for Amelia.

Update 10/20: We visited Amalia at the boarding school. We brought milk, diapers, and vitamins for Amalia and also donated food for her Grandma, who is accompanying her. Lord Jesus, please bless and provide for all of Amalia's needs. Tomorrow, Amalia will begin her check-up at the hospital; may all the processes go smoothly and according to God's will. Hopefully, she can receive treatment in Ambon.

Update 10/23: Amel was examined by a pediatrician and given anticonvulsant medication because she is still frequently experiencing seizures, as well as fever medicine and ointment for ant bites she got while in Piru. The pediatrician has referred her to a neurosurgeon, so tomorrow Amel will return for further examinations to ensure she can be treated as soon as possible.

Camelia was referred from a pediatrician to a pediatric neurosurgeon, and today she had blood drawn for lab tests, followed by a CT scan to determine why fluid is not draining. Tomorrow morning, Amel will meet with an anesthesiologist, and if God permits, she will be admitted on Friday and undergo surgery on Saturday. May Jesus ease every step of the process so that Amel’s head fluid can decrease and her head size can reduce from now.

10/24/24: Praise the Lord, Camelia Febby Wattimury has successfully completed all procedures from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., including meetings with the anesthesiologist, a CT scan, and an X-ray. Now, they’re awaiting information from the hospital about when she can be admitted for surgery. Since the doctor is scheduled to leave next week, he has recommended that Amel undergo surgery on Saturday morning. However, the hospital is still checking for an available inpatient room.

Praise the Lord, Camelia's parents have arrived, and she has been admitted to the hospital in preparation for her operation tomorrow. However, she has already entered the operating room tonight. Lord Jesus, please watch over the medical team; grant them added skill and understanding as they care for Camelia.

Update 10/25/24: Praise the Lord, Camelia Febby Wattimury’s surgery is complete, and her head has slightly reduced in size. However, fluid that drained into her stomach has caused it to enlarge. According to the doctor, they will monitor her for a few days, and if the swelling doesn’t decrease, she may need to be referred to Makassar. Lord Jesus, please help Amel—may all unnecessary fluids be released from her body as they should, in the name of Jesus!

Update 11/4/24: Camelia Febby Wattimury has returned home and will go back for a follow-up checkup. The left side of her head is still swollen, and we pray that the Lord Jesus will guide the next steps. Amel will continue with checkups and await further instructions from the doctor. May the Lord Jesus be with her and take control of the entire process.

Update 11/11/24:

Amel and her parents have arrived in Ambon for her follow-up check-up scheduled for Friday. Amel needs milk and diapers, as well as food expenses for her parents while they are in Ambon.

Berkat Ambon has helped cover the cost of lodging, electricity tokens, and meals for Amel’s caregivers.

We are very grateful to everyone who continues to donate through Berkat Ambon, enabling us to assist those in need during their medical treatments, whether in Ambon or for those coming from out of town. May the Lord Jesus love and bless us all.

Update 11/21/24:

Praise the Lord, today Camelia had her follow-up check-up with the doctor. After undergoing all post-surgery examinations, the surgeon confirmed that everything is fine, and the pediatrician also provided positive results. Amel is scheduled for another follow-up on December 20. Amel still needs milk, diapers, and transportation for her next visit. The prayers and support from everyone are greatly appreciated by Amel's family and all of us.

Berkat Ambon has assisted with Amel's needs as well as transportation for her and her parents. Thank you to everyone who has donated through Berkat Ambon, enabling us to continue helping those in need. May the Lord Jesus love and bless us all.

Update 12/17/24: Berkat Ambon volunteers visited Camelia, who arrived yesterday and went to the hospital earlier today. However, the doctor treating Amel is still on leave, so they will return on Wednesday. Amel's head appears slightly enlarged and soft, with some redness around the neck and abdomen. Amel also has a fever, and Berkat Ambon has assisted with medications not covered by BPJS.

Update 12/19/24:

During today's check-up, the doctor recommended a CT scan as the shunt might be blocked, preventing proper fluid drainage. Unfortunately, Camelia couldn’t undergo the CT scan today because she was not asleep during the procedure. She will return tomorrow for the CT scan, and further steps will be taken to prevent her head from enlarging further.

The prayers and support from everyone can change Camelia's situation. Special thanks to Ms. Irene Pariama for providing a place for Camelia and her parents to stay. Berkat Ambon is helping with meals and transportation. For those who would like to assist with Camelia's other needs, please contact Berkat Ambon via Messenger.

Update 12/23/24:

Praise God, Camelia will return to Piru tomorrow morning after her consultation with the doctor earlier today. Camelia will come back again in February 2025. The Berkat Ambon community has helped cover transportation costs for Amel, her father, and her mother. Camelia's head circumference at the initial check-up was 70 cm, but praise God, it is now 60.5 cm.

Camelia is in urgent need of a baby stroller because the weight of her head poses a significant risk if carried in someone's arms. For anyone who wants to share love with Camelia, they can contact her through the Berkat Ambon messenger. The Lord Jesus loves and blesses us all. Thank you so much to everyone who has continuously donated through Berkat Ambon, enabling us to share with those in need.

Update 2/10/25:

Amelia Wattimury was originally scheduled for a follow-up check-up on February 22, but due to her sunken skull now swelling, the doctor has advised that if the swelling worsens, she must return for immediate medical evaluation.

Due to financial limitations, Amel’s parents have reached out to Berkat Ambon for help. Berkat Ambon will assist with the transportation costs for Amel and her parents to return to Ambon for the check-up. For brothers and sisters who wish to help ease the burden of Amel’s medical expenses, including accommodation, food, and other necessities during their hospital stay, you can contact Messenger Berkat Ambon.

Update 2/13/25:

Camelia from Seram visited the doctor on February 13 and again yesterday, February 14, for her head, which has enlarged again. After the examination, Camelia was allowed to go home and will return in March for a follow-up check-up.

Berkat Ambon assisted with transportation costs for Camelia and her parents for the round trip between Seram and Ambon, as well as hospital transportation and meals.

A heartfelt thank you to our brothers and sisters who continually pray and donate through Berkat Ambon, allowing us to help and share with those in need. May the Lord Jesus love and bless us all.

Update 2/23/25:

Berkat Ambon would like to express great thanks for donations to cover the rent for Adik Camelia’s accommodation and companion while she continues her treatment in Ambon. Camelia recently underwent head surgery to install a drainage system, but now fluid has accumulated again in her head. As a result, she was brought back from Piru to Ambon for further examination and treatment. Please support us with your prayers so that everything proceeds smoothly and that Camelia can recover quickly. Brothers and sisters, you can help Adik Camelia and our ministry by contacting Messenger Berkat Ambon.

Update 2/24/25:

Praise God! Berkat Ambon volunteers accompanied Camelia Wattimury, a 7-month-old baby, for a medical examination to receive direct explanations from the doctor regarding her head condition.

Berkat Ambon also provided a donation to support Camelia's needs and her mom for the next few days. Let us pray that Camelia's condition improves quickly so she can grow up healthy and normal. Brothers and sisters who wish to help Camelia and support Berkat Ambon’s ministry can do so by contacting our Messenger. May God bless us all

Update 3/3/25:

Praise the Lord, as Camelia's head continues to enlarge, Berkat Ambon has once again helped with transportation for Amel and her parents to Ambon, as well as covering food expenses during her treatment there. The cost of their accommodation has already been paid for by Mrs. MG.

Today, Amel had a check-up with the doctor and underwent a CT scan. The results will be reviewed during her follow-up appointment on Wednesday, where the doctor will decide the next steps. May the Lord Jesus ensure that Amel receives the right and timely treatment. Amel's body is becoming stronger, and she is playing and laughing a lot. She had to wait from 11:30 AM to 4:30 PM before finally getting examined because the doctor was finishing a surgery. May the Lord Jesus guide every step of Amel’s treatment, as the area where the tube was placed in her head appears slightly swollen.

3/5/25: Today, Camelia returned to the doctor for her CT scan results, and the doctor confirmed that the fluid in Amel's head has decreased. This means that Amel can now return to Masohi. However, if her head starts enlarging again, it is not a major concern unless it causes a fever—in which case, she must immediately return to the doctor. The doctor also mentioned that Amel’s skull surgery is planned for 1 or 2 years from now. Once all the necessary medical equipment is ready, the doctor will provide an update so that the surgery can proceed. Let us continue to pray for Amel’s health and strength as she recovers and prepares for future treatment.

Update 4/4/25:

Camelia has now arrived in Ambon. Berkat Ambon helped provide tickets for her and her parents to travel from Masohi to Ambon. Tomorrow, Amel will have another check-up with the doctor regarding her head condition. May the Lord Jesus help and heal Amel.

For those who would like to help Amel’s parents with transportation and other expenses, you are welcome to reach out to us.

Update 4/7/25:

Camelia has completed her check-up at the hospital clinic. Berkat Ambon volunteers brought donations and accompanied Amel and her parents to the clinic. Currently, the condition of Amel’s head—who is now 8 months old—is stable and doing well.

She is scheduled to return for another doctor’s check-up in three months. For the next few years, Amel will need to continue with regular medical follow-ups. Amel and her parents, who have been staying with her, now plan to return to Piru – SBB, but they need funds for transportation back home. For those who would like to share love and help baby Amelia and her family, you can contact us.

Update 5/4/25:

Camelia Wattimury will return for a follow-up check-up on May 7 in Ambon. The estimated cost for round-trip transportation from Seram to Ambon is approximately 750,000 IDR, in addition to expenses for food and transportation to and from the hospital while in Ambon.

To anyone who feels moved to share love and support with Camelia, you may contact Berkat Ambon via Messenger. May the Lord Jesus provide for all of Amel’s needs and send kind-hearted people to help her.

Update 5/10/25:

Today, Amel had a follow-up with the doctor. The doctor suggested the possibility of surgery outside of Ambon, but Amel’s mother expressed concern due to financial and other challenges. She asked the doctor whether the surgery could be done in Ambon instead. The doctor confirmed it’s possible to operate in Ambon, but only on the front part of the head; surgery on the back part would require treatment in Jakarta.

Amel will need another follow-up at the end of the month to confirm the surgery plan. According to the doctor, if everything goes well, Amel may be able to undergo surgery as early as June. The operation is expected to take a long time and will likely require a significant amount of blood, so preparations must begin now. Travel costs for Amel and her parents to Ambon (round trip) are approximately 750,000 IDR, not including food and local transportation while in Ambon. Brothers and sisters who feel led to support Camelia’s medical needs may contact Berkat Ambon via Messenger.

Update 5/13/25:

Camelia has just completed a check-up in Ambon and has returned to Masohi. She will return to Ambon for another check-up and is scheduled to undergo another operation. May the Lord Jesus bless the medical team caring for Amel, so that she continues to experience improvement and healing.

Update 5/23/25:

Camelia traveled with her parents to Piru to obtain a new referral and is heading to Ambon today. Berkat Ambon has transferred transportation funds to support her upcoming medical examination scheduled for Monday. According to the doctor’s plan, surgery will be arranged as soon as possible.

May the Lord Jesus watch over Camelia and her parents on their journey to Ambon and ensure that every step of the process goes smoothly. May the Lord Jesus bless us all.

Update 5/31/25:

Camelia is expected to be admitted to the hospital for surgery preparation on June 16, and the surgery is scheduled for the following day, June 17, at 1 PM. In the meantime, Amel and her host parents are being assisted by Berkat Ambon with the cost of accommodation, meals while in Ambon, and transportation.

Thank you very much to all the brothers and sisters who have donated for Amel through Berkat Ambon, as well as to those who continuously give to help others in need. May the Lord Jesus love and bless all of us.

Update 6/9/25:

According to the doctor’s advice, Amel is scheduled to be admitted to the hospital on June 16 in preparation for her surgery on the 17th. Camelia is currently staying in a rented room with her mother and father, and they need food and transportation support to get to the hospital.

While waiting for the hospital admission date, volunteers from Berkat Ambon brought donations to help with the daily needs of her parents and to provide medicine for Amel. For anyone who feels moved to share love and support with Amel and her parents, please contact Berkat Ambon via Messenger. The Lord Jesus loves and blesses Amel—and all of us.

Update 6/17/25:

Amel was originally scheduled to be admitted to the hospital on June 16 in preparation for surgery on June 17. Since the hospital had not contacted them, the family went to the hospital to find out more. The hospital staff explained that the doctor is on leave until the end of June, so the surgery will be rescheduled for July. Camelia and her parents are currently staying in a rented room in Poka. They are in urgent need of funds for rent, daily meals, and Camelia’s milk supply. We believe that the Lord Jesus, in His miraculous ways, will provide for all of Amel’s needs. To those who feel moved to share love and support with Amel, you can reach out through Berkat Ambon’s Messenger.

Update 6/26/25:

Berkat Ambon brought the donation to cover food expenses for Camelia and her parents at their rented room. Camelia’s rental room is supported by Berkat Ambon. Camelia is still waiting to be contacted by the hospital for her surgery. She is a hydrocephalus patient who has been receiving treatment since October 2024, when Berkat Ambon was first contacted. May the Lord Jesus love and bless Camelia always, and may she remain healthy and strong until her treatment is completed.

Update 7/8/25:

Berkat Ambon volunteers brought donations of milk supplies for Camelia Watimuri, aged 1 year and 3 months, and also helped cover the cost of her lodging and food money for her caregiver. Currently, Camelia is still waiting for confirmation on her next treatment from the doctor, who is reportedly still on leave. May God be with the entire process so that everything goes smoothly for Camelia’s healing.

Update 7/10/25:

Camelia has been having a fever and mild seizures for the past two days and was taken to the ER earlier. After being given medication, Camelia was able to sleep. Tomorrow, she will return to the doctor to arrange the surgery schedule. They have been waiting for BPJS approval with the hospital. May the Lord Jesus help so that Amel can receive treatment soon.

Berkat Ambon brought a donation to help with Camelia’s transportation. We pray that Amel will be healed and fully recovered. In the name of Jesus, by His stripes, Amel is healed.

Update 8/31/25:

A few days ago, Camelia returned to Ambon to undergo a medical checkup at the hospital. In October 2024, Camelia underwent brain surgery to insert a drainage tube in her head. Her condition has since been improving — the swelling that was once severe due to fluid buildup has now been reducing toward normal. It is planned that in September 2025, Camelia will undergo another surgery for the adjustment of her skull bone. Berkat Ambon has been assisting with lodging and daily needs for Camelia and her parents while they wait for the hospital admission schedule. This has also been possible thanks to the participation and support of all our brothers and sisters. Let us pray that the Lord will go before all the preparations for the upcoming surgery, so that everything may go smoothly, and that Camelia may be healed and grow up as a healthy child.

Update 9/1/25:

Today, Camelia has already received a call to be admitted to the hospital for preparation for surgery, which is planned for tomorrow. Volunteers from Berkat Ambon are accompanying her and praying, giving her strength to always put her hope in the power of Lord Jesus. May God be with the medical team handling the surgery and all its preparations so that everything goes well and smoothly, bringing healing and recovery for Camelia. For brothers and sisters who wish to share love with Camelia, you can contact Berkat Ambon Messenger. May Lord Jesus bless you.

Update 9/3/25:

Praise the Lord, Camelia has completed her head surgery performed by the medical team at the hospital, and she is currently still in the recovery room. Let us pray that she will recover soon and grow up to be a healthy child. The volunteers from Berkat Ambon are always by her side, monitoring her condition and helping to provide for her needs.

Update 9/5/25:

Praise the Lord Jesus, after the surgery Camelia’s condition has improved. At first, her whole face was swollen and her eyes couldn’t open, but today there is progress. Amel’s right eye has opened; although her face is still somewhat swollen and her body temperature is still high, she keeps smiling and talking (even though we don’t quite understand everything). It is such a joy to see Amel cheerful. Many thanks to all the brothers and sisters who have donated through Berkat Ambon, helping Amel’s parents as they accompany her during her treatment in Ambon.

Update 9/6/25:

Praise the Lord Jesus, Camelia has now been moved to the inpatient room. Her left eye can also open now, even though the swelling on her face has not yet gone down. May Lord Jesus bless and help Amel always — by His blood and stripes, Amel is healed and restored.

Update 9/19/25:

After undergoing her second surgery, Amel had her stitches removed earlier today and has been allowed to return home. However, she will need to come back in October for a follow-up check-up. Let us all continue to pray for Amel’s speedy recovery and improved condition. Jesus loves Amel, and by His stripes, she is healed and restored. May the Lord also bless her parents with good health so they can always be there for Amel. Tomorrow morning, Amel will return to Piru with her parents. For those who wish to share and help support Amel with transportation and other needs, you may contact our messenger.

A heartfelt thank you to all the kindhearted people who have already donated through Berkat Ambon, enabling support for others in need. Jesus loves and blesses us all.

Update 10/3/25:

Berkat Ambon Volunteers visited and brought milk supplies for Camelia Wattimury, who is now 1 year and 7 months old. Since birth, Camelia has suffered from hydrocephalus, which caused her head to grow larger and her eyes to become almost completely closed. Praise God, through His intervention, at the age of 7 months Camelia was able to undergo head surgery to channel the fluid from her head. Over the past year, Camelia has already undergone 2 surgeries. Every month, she must travel back and forth across the sea from Seram Island to Ambon for her health checkups. Berkat Ambon has been facilitating her transportation, accommodation, and other needs. Praise God, Camelia’s condition continues to improve. Let us pray that she will recover soon.

For brothers and sisters who feel moved to help Camelia, you may contact Berkat Ambon via Messenger. May God bless us all.
