Hi Friends,Paula came home from the hospital this afternoon and she's doing well.
Thanks be to God the pain isn't as bad as she anticipated. Paula was
blessed with many wonderful people caring for her at the hospital and she is
in good spirits. But it was a major surgery so your continued prayers are
needed as she heals. She's to rest and do no lifting at all this week...as
a mother of 8 this will be a big adjustment, and perhaps a bit challenging.
The surgery went smoothly and as far as they can tell the lymphnodes look
alright. She will know more on Wednesday when they receive the pathology
report..Please pray that the cancer was not close to the chest wall. If
cancer was close to the chest wall Paula will have to go through seven weeks
of radiation, five days a week. So please continue to life Paula up in
prayer. Pray for her complete healing and for her family as they walk this
journey with her.
And I must add, that I find Paula to be an absolutely amazing woman! After
surgery and all she's going through, I wanted to be there for her to lift
her spirits, yet I found she was the one filling me with hope and joy. She
has such a beautiful soul and it shines through her always, even when she's
suffering. Paula is an tremendous inspiration to me. May God bless her,
heal her and continue to use her as his instrument.
Mother Mary pray for us.
