Just a quick "wrap-up" note to let everyone know that we made it back home safely late on Saturday night-- Many thanks to Tom for driving Pat and Monica and Duane Ficker for flying me down to the airport Saturday on time and safely! I was so glad to be able to make it out to the Fickers on Friday to visit with them; please pray that they will continue to receive the support and guidance from God that they have faithfully relied on for more than 10 years now!
It is always good to be home, but it is also always sad to leave again... It is such an amazing thing to always have a return date already scheduled, though! All of our patients have done well so far post-operatively, and they will all follow up with Tom within the next few weeks. He will also be able to follow up on the pathology results from some of the surgeries we did, which is such a blessing! Please continue to pray that especially Nohemi's pathology comes back benign.
We are also praying very hard now for another surgeon that can accompany me on my next trip to Guatemala in August-- Dr. Tom Hoak will be in the U.S. during that time to get his daughter off to college. I am not sure that operating by myself with no back-up or anyone to bounce thoughts and ideas off of prayerfully will be the right thing to do-- Please pray for both guidance in this area if no one steps forward or for someone to step forward that can come help! We know He has a plan, and just pray that we are mindful of it at all times.
I pray that someday each of you reading this will have the opportunity to be blessed even nearly as each of us participating in these surgical trips has. I will write more when our August trip gets closer, or if we hear something back on pathology reports soon.
Thank you all for your continuing support and prayers!
