Silly Faces Always Welcome Wednesday, January 21, the morning of Lomasontfo's surgery, began with a rousing game of Go Fish. She learned to play this game a few days prior and asks to play it everyday. At 10:00am it was time to go to the theater - no, not another movie, it is what the operating rooms are called here. Upon arrival in the hall outside the OR it was learned the anesthesiologist was running late. Time was passed with reading the bible, talking, being a bit silly, and Lomasontfo taking a brief nap. An hour and a half later it was really time for the surgery. After a prayer Lomasontfo rolled away, more calm and peaceful than I had ever seen her, praise God.
7 hours later Lomasontfo arrived in the ICU. Wow she looks different! The cyst was gone and lots of swelling contributed to her new look. The swelling will eventually go away but the cyst will never return. Her progress has been good and more updates are forth coming.
It is amazing to see God's hand at work, using so many people to make this happen for Lomasontfo. Without this surgery and reconstruction her prognosis was not good. The cyst would continue to grow rapidly and potentially create life-threatening challenges. The love of God, the love of many people here, and the love of people around the world praying for her are a beautiful display of the power of love. What a wonderful way to Live in Love everyday, caring about a child in need, whether near or far, whether you know her or not. Prayer and love - a great combination.
