Shalom All,
Greetings in the
name of our Lord!
Truly, God has heard and answered our prayers. All praise
to our mighty God, who did not ignore our prayers or withdraw his unfailing
love from us - Psalm 66 verses 19 - 20.
Here, let me also thank all of you for your prayers for my wife, Jenny, your prayers are a great testimony of God 's work in your life. Praise the Lord!

On the 3rd November 2013, the children from our Church
accompanied Jenny to the hospital. Jenny was admitted to the same ward of 20
beds but a different bed from her first surgery.
The surgery was scheduled for the following day. She went to the operating room at 9.00am (+7 GMT) and came out around 1.15pm (+7 GMT). She looked much better after the second surgery compared with the first surgery.

The surgery was scheduled for the following day. She went to the operating room at 9.00am (+7 GMT) and came out around 1.15pm (+7 GMT). She looked much better after the second surgery compared with the first surgery.
“Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart,
I will praise his holy name. Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never
forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my
diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies.
He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!"
- Psalm 103 verses 1 - 5.
During the surgery, I prayed and petitioned the Lord.
“Lord, please send your angels to assist the doctors in
the surgery and sustain Jenny in the healing process, so that she will be
healthy and made whole again. Amen" Praise the Lord, He is faithful to our
petition and He heals.
It is truly a miracle that Jenny did not lose her voice
and felt no pain at all. She was able to walk to the restroom to do her body
cleaning after 6 hours' surgery. The following day, she asked me to accompany
her to walk to the market inside the compound of the hospital and she was able
to walk half a kilometer!
The doctor checked her calcium level on 6 November 2013
and noted that the calcium level at 8.0
was low. A day before, the calcium measurement was 8.1. The stable calcium
level is 8.5. The surgeon did not remove the parathyroid gland (right side)
during the surgery. Pray that her parathyroid will start producing the hormone
(calcium for the body). Since then, there has been a slight improvement in the
calcium level to 8.3 on 7 November 2013.
With this improvement, the doctor discharged her on 7
November 2013.
In the following month, Jenny still needs to go to the
Chulabhorn Research Institute for cancer treatment.
Her schedules is as follows;
- 9 December 2013 - Medical test
- 13 to 17 December 2013 - Medical
check-up
- 18 December 2013 - Admit to the
Chulabhorn Research Institute and to undergo Iodine 131 (nuclear treatment)
radiotherapy
- 22/23 December 2013 - Discharge
Hospital
- 22/23 to 30/31 December 2013 - Stay
alone in the room
For the Iodine
131, treatment she must follow the procedures as follows;
- Keep a distance of 2m from human and
animal
- Flush the toilet twice
- Separate
plates/spoons/forks/cups/clothes
- Drink a lot of water
- No iodine/salt/seafood
- No travelling abroad for 90 days
This journey will put us on another step of faith.
Again, the Lord is sovereign and so we will have complete
trust in our Lord, who is in complete charge and control over everything. But
we know that the Lord is with us … in every way and all the time.
In Him we trust and obey. Amen
Thank you dear brothers and sisters in Christ, for all
your prayers
God bless all of you.
