Prayer Reqest for Tamara Cook

Sunday 8:15pm Singapore time

Hello everyone,

Tamara was in surgery for a little longer than 6 hours Saturday (2:00pm to 8:00+pm). It took longer than thought due to extra "repairs" needing to be done, but she is presently recovering in ICU and will be there for a day or two. Then she will be moved to a regular hospital room. Her previous pain has been relieved! Now she is going through whatever recovery pain there is to be found after a back surgery.

Please continue your prayers in her and Charles behalf and I will update you as time goes by. Thank you for your partnership in prayer through this trial for the Cook family.

On a different note.... We just finished up our second weekend of studies with Gerald Paden teaching the Old Testament sacrificial system course and next weekend he will return to include a study of the book of Hebrews. Near 40 students are in regular attendance!

More to come!!!

A servant for Jesus & the billions in Asia,
Tom

(From previous emails:
Tamara was admitted into the hospital on Tuesday. Tuesday an MRI was done and it appear that she has nerves being pinched in 3 places on her spine. Wednesday, the doctors did a procedure called a "block." This is a procedure that temporarily (for 2 days) relieves all pain.

The doctors have talked of removing a disc/vertebrae and needing to put in at least a few screws to fuse two discs together. The surgery will need to be done to 3 areas of her back.)
