Surgery on the horizon

Over the past several days, I have found myself reflecting on God's faithfulness in my life. Reminding myself that God is still good, in every season! Even though I have a heavy heart, I choose to remind myself that God, YOU ARE STILL GOOD!! Just because the doctors say surgery for our daughter is imminent and we have not seen His healing, He is still good.

Logistically, what does this mean, though?

After much prayer, an MRI in the USA, and talking with the neurosurgeon in the USA, we have quickly realized the next step is surgery, similar to when Esperanza was 3 years old. Meaning they will go into her brain to debulk the tumor, and if we have a miracle, the entire tumor will loosen, and the whole thing will come out (this is highly unlikely, but praying for it!!). If they can’t get it all out like last time, they are considering radiation or chemotherapy to get rid of whatever is left.

The process of debulking the tumor is very intense, meaning after surgery, Esperanza will be in intensive care for several days, and recovery will take multiple weeks. After recovery, they will potentially start the process of attacking the rest of the tumor in her brain.

There are possibilities of serious side effects, so your prayers will be vital.

Surgery will take place the week of August 18th.

As you can imagine, our family is filled with a deep sadness, and keeping our minds fixed on Christ, the Author and Perfector of our faith, will be key as we walk this journey out.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer during this season.
