Please Pray for Lori’s Mom
By Lori Vernon on Jul 9, 2007 in Ministry Updates
Join us in lifting up my Mom, Jan, in prayer over these next few weeks. She goes into surgery on Monday, July 9th to have her uterus and omentum removed. This surgery is in response to some “pre-cancerous tumors” which were laprascopically removed along with her ovaries about a month ago. This upcoming surgery is intended to be both preventative of further cancerous growth, as well as exploratory, in order to look for any other abnormalities which may be present.
… for her safety during the surgery itself. Pray that the surgeons would have God-given wisdom and understanding as they perform this major surgery
… for the eradication of any cancerous or pre-cancerous cells.
… for her immediate recovery in the hospital. Pray that my mother would experience a God-given physical comfort and emotional peace. Also, please pray for the nurses and family members who will be caring for her during this time.
… for her long-term recovery. Recovery from major surgery like this is expected to take anywhere from 4-6 weeks. Please pray for quick and complete healing!
Update: We’re happy to report that my mom’s surgery went very well. The doctor reported that there were no abnormalities found! Praise God!
Please continue to pray for her quick & complete recovery, so that she can come to Thailand in August to meet her new grandchild!
Update- July 20: My mom has been recovering at home for about a week now. The recovery process seems to be going amazingly well so far. She says she feels much better after this surgery than after the laparoscopic surgery she had in May.
Thank you for your prayers thus far and for your continued prayers as her recovery progresses.
