師母全身疼痛 袁姨要走了

竹君師母12/7自醫院返家後，全身疼痛，頭部﹑頸部﹑腹部﹑腰部及下背部都非常疼痛；自己無法起床，也需要人餵食，並需使用尿布。12/17更換一位家庭醫師，初步檢查後，推斷可能是腦瘤再長的後遺症的關係；現已排定一連串再次詳細的覆查，請大家繼續為師母的身體狀況代禱。求主親自安慰醫治！

       一直以來照顧師母的袁姨，因為要回中國探視年邁母親，將於12/31/2008離職。請大家迫切為竹君師母能快快找到另一合適的照顧人選代禱。求主恩待，求主賜福，求主帶領一位有愛心與耐心的姐妹能在新的年度開始時去照顧師母。在美國灣區的弟兄姐妹，您若有合適的人選可推薦，請速與邱會長聯絡

請繼續為邱會長全家代禱 !!!

親愛的代禱勇士們平安：

　　由於美國家新總幹事林明樞夫婦外出帶領營會，此段時間暫代竹君師母日誌的更新。
　　竹君師母手術後產生一些思想、情緒上不穩定的現象，並且胃口奇佳，不停的想吃東西，以致產生嚴重的便秘，及情緒高亢不合作的狀況，昨日傷口不慎撕裂，差一點要送往急診。

　　面對竹君師母的狀態，邱會長和Caleb 身心疲乏，無法好好休息。感謝大家的代禱，Caleb的感冒已好多了，但邱會長牙痛的問題仍然存在，目前暫時用止痛藥壓制。這是一場艱辛、漫長的戰役，不過深信我們的主是全能的主！醫治的主！聽禱告的主！請繼續為邱會長全家代禱。如果您覺得有負擔，也請回應剛發起的四十天「連鎖禁食禱告」。

　　願神祝福您們！

耶和華是我四圍的盾牌，是我的榮耀，又是叫我抬起頭來的。我用我的聲音求
告耶和華，他就從他的聖山上應允我。我躺下睡覺，我醒著，耶和華都保佑我。雖
有成萬的百姓 (仇敵) 來周圍攻擊我，我也不怕。(詩3:3-6)

哈利路亞！感謝主！竹君師母有一些進步了！請繼續為竹君師母及邱家迫切代禱！

親愛的代禱勇士及關心竹君的家新人們：                 　　　　　Feb. 3, 11:20 PM PST

　　哈利路亞！感謝主！祂垂聽了眾弟兄姐妹的禱告。竹君師母逐漸進步中，今天她的血壓和脈搏比較正常，不需再輸血，醫師也停止注射鎮靜劑。當會長帶她禱告，告訴她如果知道就張開她的右眼，她也睜開一下她的右眼簾。會長表示她的全身和頭部的腫脹，比起前幾天已經消退了一些，手腳也比昨天暖和多了，表示她的血液循環系統正在恢復中。
　　不過醫生試圖要除去呼吸器，但是發現她仍然無法自行呼吸，所以又插了回去，所以我們大家仍需迫切的為竹君師母禱告神！按照神話語的權柄，宣告竹君腦中的血塊能夠儘速消失，血塊對她不致帶來任何的傷害。她的全身、手腳及頭部的腫脹要完全的消除，她要很快的完全恢復知覺，沒有任何的痛苦，她不需要借助外力，她可以自行呼吸，她要得到完全的醫治，她的眼睛要能夠看見，她的聽覺和嗅覺都要恢復！
　　邱家的大兒子舒亞 (Joshua) 在South Carolina感染感冒，肺衰竭的癥候再度出現。小兒子醒亞 (Caleb) 目前在南加陪伴會長，也感染重感冒，身體較為衰弱。會長當然更是承受極大的壓力，也請繼續迫切為他們代禱，求主堅固他們的信心，徹底摧毀撒旦的計謀與攻擊。
　　賽 53:5 因祂受的刑罰，我們 (竹君) 得平安；因祂受的鞭傷，我們 (竹君) 得醫治。
　　哈利路亞！耶和華的名是應當稱頌的！

Special Prayer Requests from Nia

Dear Family & Friends,

Thank you for upholding the surgery & my mom in your prayers.  He is answering.  Praise God!

Sorry that I am unable to answer everyone personally.  Here's a summary of the latest update & more specific prayer requests.

Mom's surgery went pretty smooth.  Throughout the day, the doctors gave updates & each time they shared that she was doing well & her vitals were fine.  The surgeons removed 60% of her tumor & the other 40% was too close to major arteries so they could not touch it.  They will probably try to remove the rest of the tumor with Proton Therapy after her recovery.  The doctors decided not to remove her left eye which was Mom's desire & prayer.  And because of that, her surgery didn't require removing muscle, blood vessels & nerves from other parts of the body to transplant for the eye surgery.  Praise God for answering this prayer too!  Her surgery finished around 12 midnight yesterday and she was admitted to the ICU.  Around 5:30 a.m. this morning, they did an emergency central venous catheter (CVC or central venous line) procedure for increased viability of intravenous drugs/fluids to her heart in order to help her regain consciousness sooner & to help her breathe on her own.  This afternoon, they discovered a blood clot in her brain so currently they are monitoring that.  Her blood pressure is still low & there's a lot of swelling in the face.  Mom needs to be incubated for a while until the swelling goes down because they want to monitor & make sure the swelling will not block/restrict her airways.  She is currently still not conscious or responding to my Dad or brother, Caleb,  although she's moving around a little more.  The hospital staff is keeping her sedated because they are monitoring her breathing & it's uncomfortable to have tubes in the throat.  She's also receving transfusions to put more blood & platelets in.  Her vital signs are all currently stable.

Please pray:

1) The blood clot in her brain will go away on its own so that Mom won't need to re-experience the trauma of surgery.

2) That the swelling in her brian/face will go down & that she would be able to regain consciousness, breathe on her own & that her blood pressure will be normal.

3) That her recovery process will be quick & there would be no side effects

4) That God will restore her vision, hearing & sense of smell.

 

Thank you!

Nia

Josephine's Situation

Hi Friends,

Thanks for your prayers. Here's some new info. I found out the doctors' names. And more details on the surgery.

1. Dr. Stewart, Otolaryngologist, Head & Neck Surgery & Microvasular Reconstruction specialist. He'll be doing these 4 things: 1) removing the non-functional left eye ball & clear the tumor around the eye ball 2) saw through the left forehead & left cheekbone in order to remove tumor & replace with platinum 3)Take off 12×2 cm muscle & smsall blood vessels & nerve from left leg to implant into the eye socket 4) make an incision from the left ear to the left shoulder for re-connecting blood vessels. Dr. John Kim & Dr. Paul Kim, Facial Plastic Reconstructive surgery & Craniomaxillofacial & cranial base Surgery experts will be assisting Dr. Stewart.
2. 1/29 my mom will have an appointment with the Anesthesiologist for pre-admission check-up (heart, lung, blood, EKG, etc. tests). He will also determine the location of the tumor & the amount of anesthetic to use.
3. 1/30 My mom will check-in at noon and will do a MRI & an Embolization procedure with Dr. George Luh an Interventional Neuroradiologist. He will insert tubes from the right leg & the abdomen into the main blood vessels circling around the heart, neck & into the brain area where the tumor is to prepare for the next days surgery in case of hemorraging, then all the emergency procedures will be in place to help stop the bleeding. I will fly down to be with my mom on this day in the morning and come back at night.
4. 1/31 The main brain surgeon is Dr. Frank Hsu. He's a Cerebrovascular & Skull Base Surgeon & he’s also a Christian. he will be responsible from cutting the skull from the left ear to the right ear & removing 70% of the tumor.

Please pray that:

1. My mom will recover her eysight fully in her right eye & that she can hear again in her left ear & be able to smell again—for God's complete healing.
2. On 1/23, my brother, Joshua had a lung collapse episode while sitting in class at Duke University. We have prayed against this spiritual attack & praise God that he is feeling much better and had not needed to be hospitalized. Please continue to pray for his healing & for his faith to be strengthened.
3. Please pray that my youngest brother, Caleb, will be healed from his sinus infection as he has plans to head down to LA today/tomorrow to be with my mom & dad.
4. I have plans to fly down on 1/30 & again on 2/2-3. Please pray for Jonathan as he takes care of the the kids, especially Ethan for it'll be his first overnight without me (& without nursing) on 2/2.
5. Please pray for all the above procedures & pre-operation appointments, that everything will go smoothly & that the anesthesiologist will have the right amount of medication for my mom. Pray also for the Hematologist to have the wisdom to provide the right amount of blood thinner/thickener for my mom in order to prevent the clotting that happend 5 years ago when she had her first brain surgery.
6. Pray for no side-effects & a speedy recovery for my mom.
7. Pray also for living arrangments, food & help & other logistics during her recovery phase.

And please praise God with us for we know that He hears our prayers & may He be glorified through all this.

Thank you,
Nia

邱會長給「家新人」的信

親愛的代禱勇士和關心我們一家的「家新人」：

　　願主的恩惠與平安，從歲首到年終常常與您們同在！

　　我和竹君帶著您們的祝福和代禱已經平安抵達洛杉磯 (Los Angeles)。謝謝「美國家新」總幹事林明樞、陳麗華夫婦熱忱的接待，竹君正安心的休養生息，以準備迎接另一場猛烈的屬靈戰爭！也謝謝「洛杉磯事工協調小組」的核心同工小組，每天都安排一位姊妹前來照顧陪伴竹君，和她一齊運動 (散步) 和禱告。我們夫婦從心裏感謝主所差派的這一群美麗的天使，讓我們飽嚐弟兄和睦同居的美與善！

　　送我們飛機的小兒子醒亞 (Caleb) 下車時說了一句：「奇怪！送你們飛機那麼多次，爸爸從沒有像這次那麼輕鬆愉快！」我回他一句：「因為我帶媽媽是要去打一場已經穩勝的榮耀的戰爭！」實在我的心裏是充滿了興奮和期待，要觀看獨行奇事的神要如何為我和竹君殺出重圍，開出一條又新又活的生路！

　　昨天 (1月23日) 我們會見了這次腦瘤切除大手術團的其中一位醫生， Dr. Stewart。他是「耳鼻喉、腦頸部手術、和微細血管再接駁手術」(Otolaryngologist, Head & Neck Surgery & Microvascular Reconstruction Specialist) 的專家。他的手術涵蓋四大部分：(1) 挖除失去功能的左眼球以及清除眼球週邊的腫瘤；(2) 鋸下左眼球週邊的前額骨和左頰骨，以利腦瘤的切除。手術後再以 Platinum 金屬板鑲崁兩組骨頭復位；(3) 從左大腿截下約 12x2 公分之筋肉、和微細血管和神經，移植到挖空的左眼球部位；(4) 在頸部的左側從耳到肩切開，做微細血管再接駁的手術。我們知道 Dr. Stewart 是神要用的一位大能勇士，要協助竹君完成這場經歷水火的屬靈戰爭！除此之外，協助 Dr. Stewart 的還有兩位手術醫生 Dr. John Kim 和 Dr. Paul Kim，他們是面部整形和眼蓋骨及頰骨手術 (Facial Plastic Reconstructive Surgery & Craniomaxillofacial & Cranial Base Surgery) 專家。

正式手術已經設定在1月31日(星期四) 凌晨7:30 開始。五年前切除腦瘤的大手術總共開了15 小時，這一次手術時間可能更長。1月29日(星期二) 我們還要前往 Loma Linda 大學的醫院會見一位麻醉科醫生 (Anesthesiologist)，要作住院前的心、肺、血液、心電圖等一連串的「住院前檢驗手續」( PATS )，以確定腫瘤部位、麻醉葯量，以及心肺功能是否正常運作之測試。1月30 日(星期三) 入住醫院，先做 MRI，繼由Dr. George Luh 做 Embolization 的手術。Dr. Luh 是「腦神經血管放射治療」(Interventional Neuroradiologist) 專家。他會從右大腿與腹部交接處切口插入導管，從主動脈繞過心臟、頸部，進入腦部腫瘤部位放置凝固劑，以備第二天大手術期間，萬一腦血管大出血時，可以進行止血、堵塞及搶救之預防措施。
　　1月31日(星期四) 主持腦蓋骨切開大手術的主治醫師是 Dr. Frank Hsu。他是「腦神經外科腦顱骨手術」( Cerebrovascular & Skull Base Surgery ) 專家，也是一位主內親愛的弟兄。他負責從左耳到右耳的腦蓋骨的切開以及切除大部份腦瘤的主要手術。根據 Dr. Hsu 的手術計劃，這次手術大概會切除70%之腫瘤，比五年前切除的80%還要少，主要原因是儘量不牽動及切除圍繞主動脈之腫瘤以及主宰重要功能的神經系統，以免導致生命危險。
代禱重點

2. 為 1/23 我們在南卡洛林那州 Duke University 的大兒子舒亞 (Joshua) 突然出現「肺衰竭」(Lung Collapse) 的癥象而迫切代禱。舒亞本人以及我們都清楚這是惡者的連番攻擊，求主堅固舒亞的信心，也徹底摧毀牠的計謀與攻擊！
3. 為 1/27 小兒子醒亞 (Caleb) 從北加開車南下洛杉磯，探望及陪伴竹君的開車旅程平安代禱。

Dr. Chiu daughter(Nia)'s letter

Hi Family,

I've requested Dad's assistant to put y'all on mom's prayer email list.  I hope you will be able to get updates.  Mom & Dad are already down in SoCal.  They had some pre-operative appointments.  Seems like they'll need to cut part of her thigh this time instead of the stomach for the brain surgery.  And they'll need to make some incisions in the back of the neck too.  I don't know how many hours this surgery will take but the last one took 15 hours with her face peeled back, skull sawed open & doctors working on removing the tumor. It was a miracle that she's alive & there's no major side effects from the surgery. This time there will be a team of 5 doctors (including a hematologist, anesthesiologist, ear-nose-throat specialist, plastic surgeon & surgeon) working to remove a 6? x 9 cm tumor. They can only remove part of it & the remaining may be treated by proton therapy. Please pray that God will spare her life & that the surgery will be successful with no side effects.  Caleb will be going down this weekend & I am planning to fly down next Wed. for a day & again the weekend after the operation.  Please pray that Dad & Caleb can find a place to stay close by for ease of taking care of Mom.

The urgent prayer request is actually for Josh.  He was sitting in class today when he felt that his lung collapsed again (4th time?).  He hasn't checked into the hospital yet.  He feels that this is a spiritual attack due to mom's upcoming surgery.  He plans to wait it out tonight to see if he'll feel better tomorrow.  If not, he will go into the hospital in the morning.

We covet your prayers for our family.

Thanks,

Nia
