hi forum family, below is the update i posted on the facebook page "friends of l. ray smith" this evening, as they have also been praying for manuela.

claudia


manuela is going to stay on antibiotics for another week, then go in for surgery to remove the submandibular gland, due to the continual infection that has been coming from that gland. after this gland is removed, during the same surgery, a specialist from jackson, ms is going to remove the crystals that have formed in her parotid gland. manuela said she just wants to get healthy again. God willing, i will go to mobile to be with her during this procedure and when she comes home. she is so appreciative of the prayerful support.

I got a text from Claudia and she says Manuela is out of surgery. They removed her submandibular gland on the right side of her neck. The parotid gland was fine. The submandibular was infected and inflamed.

She will be taking Manuela home today.

Thank God she is doing well.

[microlink]

I pray that things go well and that she recovers fully.

In another thread, the need for physical fellowship over spiritual fellowship is being debated.  By reaching out to Manuela across miles, you Claudia, have shown that we have the potential for both here on this forum. Thank you.

We hope that Manuela is doing well, post surgery.

With prayers for a quick recovery.

Hi forum family.  Manuela is doing so much better since having the infected submandibular gland removed.  Her recuperation is going very well.  She sees her doctor on thursday for her post surgery follow up and to have the outer stiches removed.  I fly back home tomorrow, and will miss her very much.  I will also miss ceasar "the cutest dog in the world" as ray called him.  That little dog is manuela's constant companion and a big help in her healing process.  Praises to our Father God for bringing manuela through this difficult period.

Love in Christ,
claudia
