Ray's wife, Manuela is in the hospital
cjwood:
hi all. manuela called yesterday to say she had been released from the hospital to continue her antibiotic regimen at home until she can see her doctor this week for a follow up. her physician is out of town until tuesday. manuela told me the swelling is about the same, and her doctor is anticipating surgery to remove the affected gland and do a biopsy.
please continue to keep her in your prayers.

Thanks for the update. I pray that she is comfortable, not feeling pain, and resting in Him. She has been through so much.

manuela and i spoke on the phone a few minutes ago. she said the gland involved is the parotid gland on the right side of her face/neck. this is a saliva gland. her physician wants to do surgery to remove the gland, but after doing research on this type of surgery on the internet this evening, she is very concerned about having the surgery. her current nerve disorder is what concerns her with regards to the surgery to remove the parotid gland. one of the main face muscles runs through this gland, and post-surgery can result in temporary face paralysis. manuela also read that 15-20% of patients experience permanent facial paralysis of some type. so, needless to say she is very concerned about having the surgery done.
she has an appointment tuesday morning with her e.n.t. specialist. i will let you know what is decided after i speak to her tuesday evening.
please continue to keep her in your prayers.
