Update on Jeff — Life After Surgery, and What’s Next Today marks three weeks since Jeff underwent a major surgery called the Whipple procedure — one of the most complex abdominal surgeries performed today. It involved the removal of part of his pancreas, his gallbladder, bile duct, part of his stomach, and part of his small intestine. This surgery was done to treat pancreatic cancer, and it required immense strength, good health and courage — physically and emotionally. The recovery hasn’t been easy, though our pictures make it seem so😆. Jeff is learning to eat again with a completely restructured digestive system. He’s adjusting to new nutritional needs, managing energy dips, and slowly rebuilding strength — one meal, one walk, one good day at a time. There are moments of frustration and fatigue, but Jeff meets them with patience, resilience, and (true to form) his steady determination💪. We’re now preparing for the next phase of his care. Next week, we will meet with Jeff’s oncologist, Dr. Yelamanchili, at the Walker Family Cancer Centre to learn more about his treatment plan. We don’t yet know exactly what that will involve (his surgeon has said Chemotherapy for sure) , but we’re stepping into this next chapter with faithful hearts and a deep trust in his medical team, — and in Jeff’s quiet strength. Throughout this process, we’ve been carried by your prayers, messages, and acts of kindness. We are grateful beyond words. Jeff still has a journey ahead, but he’s not walking it alone — and that means everything. Thank you for standing with us. We’ll share more as we learn more. Keep those prayers🙏 and 😎positive vibes coming💜

Megan's good friend Paige, from Nashville, is having a mental health crisis. She was recently discharged from an extended stay at the hospital, and is starting with outpatient psychiatry soon. Doctors are struggling to discern between diagnosis possibilities. They have seen some improvement in cognition, but there is still a long ways to go. Please pray for healing for Paige, for direction and wisdom for her care team, for peace for her parents (Rhonda and James), and for Paige to lean into her faith during this hard time.

Tereasa M is now over her with chemotherapy. She rang the bell on the chemotherapy floor!! She plans to have surgery within the next four weeks, followed by radiation.

Dear God, We cry out to you on behalf of the people seriously affected by the conflict in Gaza and Israel. Our hearts break at the devastation and suffering that we see, and we know it breaks yours, too. We ask that you would stretch out your mighty hand to bring an end to this war. We cry out for people who have been injured or traumatised, who have lost loved ones or their homes. Please provide everything they need and be their comfort, their hope, their healer, and their safe refuge. We pray for your peace to reign. We look to you as our Saviour and the hope of the world. Amen. (https://www.tearfund.org/stories/2023/10/how-to-pray-for-gaza-and-israel#:~:text=Dear%20God%2C,an%20end%20to%20this%20war.)
