Prayer requests awaiting Tests and Surgery...

Looking back, we thank GOD for His faithfulness... the fact that we have come this far is a miracle in itself.

This next surgical phase is a major test of our faith... Pray that as a family we will be able to overcome, by using our faith and the authority He has given us to deliver us out of this storm.
We have been reading up on all the possible surgical options pending the result. For those of you who are interested, you may want to find out more from http://sarcomahelp.org/learning_center/ewings_sarcoma.html

Pray for God’s continual protection upon our family in particular Samuel will be fit enough for this coming surgery which according to encologist should be performed within this month.
Pray for favourable result from Wednesday tests. That is CT scan remains clear, MRI scans and Xray will reveal that the tumour has shrunk significantly, dislodging completely from his critical arteries, nerves and veins to render a simple tumour removal surgery.

Pray for COMPLETE removal of the tumour with sufficient additional cuff of normal issue without compromising the functionalities of his leg. We were informed that the removed tumour will also be sent for further biopsy to ascertain how much cancer cells are dead.  Pray for high percentage of this.
Pray that GOD will grant the surgeon wisdom  to perform HIS best option for this reconstructive surgery. In particular, we want to commit the reconstruction of the fractured fibula to HIM. Also GOD will show us CLEARLY the path we should take for this reconstruction surgery. Pray for safe surgery and against infections. Trusting GOD for His healing upon Samuel.  By HIS grace, Samuel will be to get well soon and walk on his own.

Pray that GOD will provide for HIS best for this surgery... we are praying for availability of experienced surgical team and ward A in the orthopaedic  ward.

We pray that the power of God will be felt by all of you ("God will strengthen you with his own great power..." Col 1:11) as you commit the outcome of the tests and the requisite surgery to Him. We will ask for God's mercy and grace to be upon Samuel, and the family..May you "have the power to understand the greatness of Christ's love- how wide and how long and how high and how deep that love is. Christ's love is greater than anyone can ever know, but I pray that you will be able to know that love.."Eph 3:18-19..

Will pray specifically for CT scan to be clear, for significant shrinkage of tumour, and for only a simply surgery to remove tumour and minimal surrounding cuff; and that Samuel's leg will resume full functions after surgery..

May the Lord cont' to bless you and keep you and His countenance be upon you. Be strong in the Lord!
