Please pray for my mother

Kia ora everyone,

My name is Ryan and I am asking for your prayers and positive thoughts for my Mother, Ihapera Vera. Last month she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer and was told that she would need to have a hysterectomy as soon as possible. The doctors are predicting that the operation will only take about two and half hours. While the procedure is straightforward and not that complicated, my mother is still recovering from a stroke she suffered last year, so she is not in the best of health to begin with. Further complicating matters is her weight, being Polynesian she is not exactly small, if you know what I mean. Her operation is scheduled for Tuesday, April 27th. All of your prayers and positive thoughts will be much appreciated. My Mother is a strong and powerful woman, who makes me proud to be her son. She has always believed in the power of prayer and positive thought. I thank you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of my family and I pray that you all are safe.

Thank you and God bless.

Rye,

What challenging times for you and your family.

With God's Grace, your mother will get through this and start the road to full recovery.

May you both have the strength and resolve from within to overcome this.

Thinking of you.

Your mother will need you to be strong during this period. She is relying on you to take good care of her. Learn what you can about the pre and post op procedures, that way you know what to ask the docs. Keep well, stay focus and be positive. All will be fine.
