Feb 2 2016, Discharge from Hospital
Two-Week
Well I am discharged after two weeks of
hospitalization. The two-week stay was unexpected due to complications. I have
an iatrogenic pneumothorax. My lung collapsed. To my disappointment, my lung
did not expand back to its original position. However during these two weeks I
had so richly experienced God’s blessing that I now embrace the sovereign will
of God with gratefulness. My experience with God is beyond words. However I
would share those blessings I can easily count with you.
First, I was hospitalized just before the cold
weather seized Hong Kong. Otherwise I might have been risk of breathing
problems and complications such as pneumonia as well.
Second, I witnessed two ladies passed away.
Their beds were opposite mine and I looked into their eyes as they slowly pass
away with decreasing heart beat and blood pressure. The Lord prepares me to
embrace death by witnessing the physiological aspects of it. The Holy Spirit
gently teaches me the hope I have in His salvation, which is markedly different
from those who grieved in death and dying without such hope.
Third, the Lord used me in my weaknesses. In my
physical and emotional weakness, the Lord taught me to merely set aside my SELF
and let Him do His work. As I submit to the Lord, He uses me to bless a person
in some unexpected way. Never underestimate God and what He can do through you
when you are willing!
Fourth, the discharge was delayed. Initially I
was very disappointed. When I submitted to His sovereign good will, I noted
that the Lord has prepared a sister (in the Lord), a wound specialist, to
manage my wound after discharge. He also used this delay to give me yet another
opportunity to bless and be blessed by other patients. His way is higher!
Prayer request:
1. Pray for my lungs to still recover. May God protect me from infection!
2. Pray for the effectiveness of another chemo
medication that it will control the cancer growth.
3. Pray for time with family.
