Happy Easter! and a bit of news

We had a 14 yo patient with a 30 cm ovarian tumor removed today. We have been raising money and working on getting this operation for several weeks. She and her family came from the Sierra to Trujillo to stay with a relative in Wichanzao. She received a diagnosis for a growing mass in her abdomen. They came into the clinic because she didn’t understand the implications of the doctors diagnosis (Ovarian cancer) and the process that she would have to go through to get a surgery. Not only were we able to get all of her paperwork done, raise money for the tests and surgery, but also find blood donors for her surgery that was today! Her case is very advanced, and the prognosis is poor. But we have done everything possible to assist them in hopes that our humble service to them would point them to a Savior who can ultimately provide comfort to her and her family. I am going right now to donate another unit (her 3rd) of blood since we are the same type.
Also, for those of you who know the case of Ana, she is now able to sit up without assistance and can almost walk!! She has also FINALLY gotten her insurance so hopefully we will move forward with visiting specialists and starting other treatments! AND Sr. Jose is going to get his prostate operation Wednesday as well. Pray for these patients that they would continue to progress and heal...and that we would continue to serve them well! God Bless, and I hope everyone had a beautiful Easter...
