Tuesday, August 24th - Change of plans

Things have changed very quickly. Dr. Gore (Kidney surgeon) and Dr. Pillarisetty came in and let us know the CT scan showed a lot of growth in the tumor in her kidney that the ultrasound had not shown last week. The tumor has grown from the size of a golf ball to the size of a plum. Unfortunately, the tumor has grown into the main vein going from the legs up to the heart, creating a tumor clot. Surgery is required quickly, so Mama will not be going home today. Instead, she will be having surgery today about noon. This is a major surgery. It is called a Right Radical Nephrectomy, Inferior Venacava Thrombectomy. One of the greatest risks is blood loss. She will be sent to ICU after surgery for close observation and they expect her to be in the hospital at least another week. A lot is going on right now so I am not able to give much more of a report. I just wanted to get this onto the blog so the prayers can start bombarding heaven. Thank you in advance.

With love,

Carmen & Family

Heavenly Father, please fill the surgeons who attend to Ladeva with Your divine wisdom Lord so that they can perform the surgery in a perfect manner. Take all those who assist them, in Your hands and keep them as Your instruments in bringing healing to her. Hold her hand tightly and grant her Your peace so that she can undergo this surgery without fear. May she totally rest upon You. In Your precious name - I pray. Amen
I will send out emails to let everyone of the change in the blog. God will hear our prayers and be with you all.
Love,
Cindy R.

Dear Deva, Warren & kids:
We know from yesterday's prayer that God answered about the dye
in the iv that God is hearing and
answering prayer. What we don't
know at this point is what is God's perfect will in this matter.
That brave, loving call from Deva
to all of us, telling us that she
loves us is telling me that she
has reached the place where she
has said "Your will be done Lord".
Like Abraham who raised the knife
to sacrifice his son that he dearly loved she has put her life
on the altar. God spared Isaac and
commended Abraham for his faith, love and trust. Deva has commited
her soul into God's hands. We will
continue to plead with God to raise her up. We must trust the
almighty God in this. His way and
His will is best. We love you too
Deva. You are very precious to us. Dinodisredi

Dear, sweet friends, you are so covered in prayers right now and always. I pray you find hope, rest and peace in the Lord as you travel through this journey. Wish I could give you hugs and sit with you, holding your hand. You are loved beyond belief!

Dear Ladeva,
I am so looking forward to you being well and back at our Womens Bible Study when it begins again. When Sharon brought you to us, you brought a special glow with you, and whenever, and whatever you shared I listened with both ears. It was heart to heart, spirit to spirit. Now, still heart to heart, I'm praying, believing, trusting and standing on the Rock & His promises for you... and with you. May the Lord be incredibly real to you as He holds you in his arms and heart, giving you peace, strength, hope and victory.
Love and prayers. Sylvia McC

pDear Deva,
Hi there my sweet Cousin Deva; Wow,
but plan "a," keeps on changing so fast that I would think that both your family and yourself are having problems in trying to keep up with what all is going on? Well my dear Cousin; along with those many others who love and care for you, your poor old Cousin John will continue praying for you to the Good Lord that your kidney problem will be taken cared of with a minimum amount of pain and discomfort to yourself! Deva, I have but one thing to say regarding your present hospital stay, and that is when everything is all over, and you are back home
again feeling great; you are really going to have a whole bunch of sea stories to tell your grandchildren about. May your ship of life, always sail on calm seas with following winds! God bless you my dear Cousin, and I do love you one big old bunch!
Cousin John

hey you guys,
we are on our knees, on our faces in prayer for you...laying all of this at the foot of the cross.
God has to be busy today hearing all of our petitions for you.
praying for supernatural wisdom for the medical staff and praying the blood of Jesus over you for healing because there is life in the blood..
keep your eyes on Jesus. He has walked this way before and He is with you now and for always..
waiting for the news that the surgery is over and that you are doing good..
our love for you is out of sight, overboard!!!!but it can't even come close to the love that God has for you and He is the almighty physician so you are in the best of hands..
i love you sis...
