Dear all,
Please remember in your prayers my wife, Liliana.
She has been struggling for a few months with a sore throat. As the condition persisted for such a long time, she finally went to a specialist a couple of weeks ago she. The doctor detected a "lump" on one of her vocal chords.
He says it is not malignant, but rather the product of "use and abuse" or her voice (a brave man, this doctor, he's gone where I've never dared to
)
She was forbidden to sing, effective immediately, which is very hard for her (she used to be the director of the choir at St. Paschal's).
She will now receive speech therapy and, later this month, she will go back to the specialist to schedule a surgical procedure to remove the lump.
None of this is life-threatening, of course, for which we are very grateful, but leaving the choir was not exactly the way Liliana was envisioning to spend Christmas time this year and, if the condition worsens, then even her job as a Spanish teacher would be in jeopardy.
Please pray for her, that our merciful God, if it is according to His will, may restore her voice so she can keep teaching His children and singing His praises.
Thank you.
Shalom,
Memo
