As I mentioned in my last post, Josiah Lindquist recently had an operation to remove an abscess from his brain. He has been recovering well, but the doctors have said that the amount of fluid in the cavity is not decreasing as expected. There is some possibility that this could mean the antibiotics are not working, so another – very simple – procedure will be done on Tuesday. A surgeon will insert a needle into the cavity (there is still a small crack in the skull at this point in the healing process) and draw out some of the fluid to determine if it is puss. If not, then all will continue as normal. If it is puss, however, Josiah will likely need to have the original procedure redone.

Please pray for Josiah as he is very worried about the fact that he will be awake during the procedure (though doctors assure that there will be no pain and it is a very simple procedure). He is also concerned about the possibility of having the original operation again. It was very difficult for him the first time around.

On a separate note, I’ve recently discovered that I lost my Aerosur tickets for my return flight; this appears to mean that I will need to purchase new return tickets. Please pray that God will provide wisdom and peace as I and those helping me deal with that situation.
