Warning, the following picture is not for the faint of heart.
Yes, it is unsettling, but this is the reality of some of our patience. Our medical team does a miraculous job in removing such tumors and providing a brand new life for people. It is amazing to see the before and after effects of surgery. I was in the ward with this patient after the tumor was removed. A simple thing as a smile, is now possible. To be able to drink from a cup, is now possible. To give mom a kiss...is now possible. To see the hope that is now in her eyes and the eyes of the mother. Her child now has a future...many lives have been transformed...patient, mom, family, and community. The verse from Jeremiah comes to mind..."For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord...to give you a HOPE and a FUTURE..."
