Near the end of the road 👍

My third and last surgery is on this coming Wednesday 17th April! We are thankful the end of this journey is in sight. Thankyou for supporting us over these 3 1/2 years!

Thankfulness!

We’re very thankful that Sam’s angiogram went well and without incident. His heart is in much better shape than a previous CT angiogram indicated and should do well for another 20 years on statins!

Sam’s angiogram and future plans for Janet’s surgery!

Just an update for your info and prayer! Sam has to have an angiogram this Friday afternoon 24th November. If he needs a stent they’ll put it in at the same time. We’d appreciate your prayers for safety and quick recovery. It’s an extra busy time for him retiring at Christmas, with a lot of

Thankful for Sarah 🌻

Sarah was discharged from Jaslok Hospital in Mumbai late Wednesday afternoon 😊 It’s good for her to be able to rest alone, have space and process the past couple of weeks a bit. It has taken an enormous amount of courage to go through the Direct Brain Stimulation surgeries and intense hospitalization, and recovery is

Massive months!

A complicated waiting game!

It’s ages since we updated you about our family. Please let us know if you need prayer too. Unfortunately the 2 hour day surgery I need (for the plastic surgeon to tidy up the flesh in my mouth and the oral-maxilla surgeon to put 3 implants in my right maxilla/upper jaw) has been delayed by
