Lomasontfo returned to Pretoria last week for a brief visit and biopsy before the big surgery. Although the doctor was unable to complete the biopsy due to excessive bleeding the trip was good. More information was gathered about the upcoming surgery and after care.Lomasontfo also had her 2nd visit to McDonald’s with her first cheeseburger and several more firsts including a bubble bath, stay in a hotel, eating an omelet, learning to take photos with Lori’s cell phone, learning to use Pastor Mike’s calculator, and shooting straw wrappers. She also enjoyed watching her classmates in a video on the laptop sing songs and praying as they do each morning. She sang along and prayed with them as she watched it over and over again. It was like she was there with them.
On the return drive to Swaziland she said,”Lori, I want the songs.” And spent the remainder of the drive smiling and singing.
In the first week or 2 of January she will go back to Pretoria for surgery to remove the cyst/tumor and her jaw and reconstruct this area of her face. This is expected to take a minimum of 5-6 hours and a hospital stay of 2 weeks if all goes well. Please pray for Lomasontfo, her doctors, nurses, and all those caring for her. Updates and information will continue as well as photos of her progress.
