January 2012 (letter number 2)

Dear Pastor & Friends:

In my heart I feel the need of personally writing this second version of our prayer letter this month since most of the news concerns me and the happenings of the past 2 weeks.

We are totally overwhelmed at the response we received from our brethren asking prayer for my nefrectomy. It took place as was scheduled on January 16. The surgery was done with an incision of approximately 10 inches in order to remove this kidney of extraordinary size. Also a cyst was removed from the liver. I was in the hospital a total of 9 days and am very happy to be home in this phase of recuperation.

My daughter Joy and grand-daughter Sandy, have been with me in the hospital during the entire time, plus spending most of this past week at home with us.The folks at church have helped take turns spending the night in the hospital as well as some of my friends, so I have been well cared for. And what can I say about the tender loving care of my dear husband...

The road to recuperation is going to be long and slow, but we feel that the Lord has been in this from the beginning. Starting next week I will go through a series of tests to determine my ability to receive a kidney transplant and once that is all done, my name will appear on the transplant list. This will be done in Madrid. We will continue to count on your prayers as the Lord leads us through this next step in our lives.We appreciate so much all the emails, cards and letters from so many of you.You are each one precious to us.

In Christ, Carolyn
