Naomi had a successful surgery here on Monday at University of Michigan Hospital. Thanks so much for your prayers during our several month ordeal with “pheo-chromo-cytoma”- adrenal gland tumor. The surgery took a bit longer than usual but she did very well considering the heart problems and diabetes. We are forever grateful for your continued prayers and encouragement. We have an awesome God who has awesome prayer warriors like you.
She is resting comfortably and will be in Intensive Care for a day and then another day in a regular room. We expect to go home Thursday. Certainly being in a hospital with the kind of staff they have for this problem was very comforting. I have never seen so many doctors hovering over her at one time!
Dr. Gauger, the surgeon, said that her blood pressure has steadied to a somewhat normal level (after months and months of high blood pressure and, more recently due to medication, high pulse rate). There was nothing unusual through the surgery and, of course, they will biopsy the tumor (golf-ball size) but anticipate it will be benign. Hopefully this will alleviate the angina that she has going through more recently. She will be under endocrinology care for awhile to make sure all the chemical and hormones balance properly.
How to pray:
-Her blood pressure is still running a little bit low- they would like it a bit higher than 110-120 over 50-55. Also, her sugar levels are running high (300’s). And she is in some discomfort pain from the incisions.
-Continue to pray for our kids- Andrew & Charity all the way out at Bethany Bible and Joshua- who was able to spend Monday and Tuesday am with us.
Once again, thanks so much for your prayers and we ask that you will continue to pray for a speedy recovery and that we will be able to get back to normal (whatever that might be).
In Christ,
Rob
