Day After Surgery

Miriam is doing well. After a slow start ( she needed blood because
her haemoglobin was low) throughout the day she was taking longer and
longer walks. This evening she is off pain suppression only a Tylenol here and there.
She really enjoyed all your responses to the first report.
Thank you all and keep on praying. It truly works.
In our Father's hand,
Nandor

Surgery Went Well

We thank our Heavenly Father for his mercies that he showers on us all of our life but especially at these time of trials.

Miriam is recovering from the surgery that lasted about 2 hours.

I had an opportunity to talk with Dr Mazurka the surgeon.

He said that he was able to perform a hysterectomy and remove all visible disease without needing to go into any other tissues or organs. (PraiseGOD!)

Only after the examination of the removed tissues can he make recommendations for future treatments.

Please continue to pray for the staff as they are working on to control Miriam's pain, pray for speedy recovery, wisdom for the Dr as he makes future decisions, for me that I would be able to minister to and support her at this time and that we will go on bringing glory to God for his goodness and grace.

May God richly bless you all for your faithfulness.

In our Father's hand,
Nandor

New Date

Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow……
I did get a sooner than later date. Surgery will now be Monday May 4.
Thanks for all your prayers and please continue as we move forward on this journey.

In my Fathers hands,
Miriam

We Are Back.....

While we were in the pre-op clinic in Hamilton yesterday (Tuesday) we got the news that the OR will be shut down for the week and all the surgery’s are cancelled. This is due to black dust/soot in the ventilation system. Wow, what a surprise. It doesn’t seem to make sense from our perspective BUT GOD is still on the throne and nothing is surprising to Him.
Please pray that they can slot me in soon and in the meantime my family and I would worship and serve Him while we wait.

You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
Trust in the Lord forever,
For in the LORD is everlasting strength.
Isaiah 26:3-4

Still in my Fathers hands,
Miriam

Date for Surgery

The date for my surgery is next Thursday April 23. I will have to be there Tues morning for pre-op stuff.
It will be at Henderson Hospital in Hamilton.

Thanks for your prayers and please continue to pray that God would be glorified and we would put all our trust in Him because He is Worthy and Able!!!

Resting in my Fathers hands,
Miriam and family

Consult With Surgeon

I have been feeling quite well, not much pain. Consult with surgeon went well, he is as puzzled as everyone else. The rare type of cancer I have typically comes back 5 years or later for 30% of patients. Mine came in 9 months….
I will be going to Hamilton for surgery within the month.
Please pray that a spot will become available sooner than later.

In My Fathers Hands,
Miriam
