This sweet lady, Freida Angeletti, who serves in the Master’s Program of the IMB is in need of your prayers. Also, pray for her husband as he continues to minister in Romania. I’ve met them a number of times and even attended a Christmas gathering in their home in Bucharest.
Dear Prayer Partners,
Below is Freda Angeletti’s letter about her upcoming procedure on the cysts on her spine at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore Maryland. Please mark your calendar for Monday, October 26th to pray for her and this week as she recovers from a cold and prepares for the surgery. As you will read the Lord is taking care of her.
Thank you for praying!
Melinda
Freda’s note-
Yesterday, October 20, when I had my scheduled appointment. Our daughter Brenda, son-in-law Robert, and I arrived, to be informed that Dr. Long was sick and that my appointment had been rescheduled for January, 2009. What a blow!! I told them that I had just flown in from Romania for this appointment and why didn’t they inform me. They said they had sent out a letter to everyone that had appointments. I didn’t receive one. Anyway, there was a big problem in data entry. They had the address listed as Bucuresti, Minnesota. All the paper work very plainly said Romania. Robert went to the office of Dr. Long, then to the associate Administrator. After explaining my situation and how this January appointment could not be, they set up an appointment at 3:00 PM with the surgeon that was going to do the procedure anyway. God was in control! The surgeon is a very nice young man. He talked with me and Brenda for well over an hour, explaining everything. Praise God that on next Monday at 3:00 PM, they will do a procedure (not surgery) to aspirate the cysts on my spine that have a narrow opening where the fluid drains into them and then fill them with glue fibrin. After discovering which cysts have a wide opening, they will leave them alone because the glue could back up into the spinal fluid. The doctor said that this had a 65% success rate. Sometimes they have to do it a second time. If after a period of time, I am still in pain, probably surgery will follow. Please pray that I am among the 65% group and the pain is much improved. For three days following the procedure, I am not to do anything except lay around and take care of my personal hygiene. Then for about three weeks, I can not lift anything. I can walk, no stairs, and that is about all. If all goes well, I should be able to fly back to Romania. My problem will be dealing with everything involved in the trip. Please pray that the Lord will work ahead of me on this and provide the way. His way and His timing are perfect.
Today I have a bad cold and feel terrible. Pray that I will be over it before Monday, but sooner will be okay 🙂
