My Medical Review

I have been here for 4 months already! I cannot believe how fast time goes! Many of you know I had a number of health challenges last year. Because of these health concerns, Mercy Ships is requiring that I have a mandatory medical review at my 4 month point of service. I told them I was totally fine, but having "brain surgery" on your medical record, does not reassure many people. The medical review will advise them if I am healthy enough to stay until November. I am pleased to tell you... I am not coming home yet! I had my medical review on Wednesday and the doctor says I am doing fine! Praise God; the white girl will have more African Adventures! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!

I have been sharing your stories during the Missions Moment the last 2 Sundays.
First Sunday was your May 22nd blog Life on the Africa Mercy Ship. Your wonderful humor came through loud and clear and I heard a lot of laughs!
The next Sunday I got serious and shared from several blogs about your 12 hr shifts, need for nurses, the return of the arm problem, and the story of baby Greg and his mother. Your writing was so poignant I read your last paragraphs from July 24th and 25th when baby Greg died. No laughs this time, people were very touched. And then I read your July 30th Answered Prayer blog -- puts things in perspective. God is there in the hard times, to!!!
I want you to know how your writing has touched me. I am fervently praying that Greg's mom meets the God who has defeated the author of curses and takes Him into her life.
Tomorrow I will share the humor from your painting experience and the praise that you passed the medical review.
I am so looking forward to another 4 months of Laura Z stories.
