Naomi going into surgery on Monday 2/26/07

On Monday Feb. 12 , during what should have been a “regular” chemo visit, Naomi’s PORT Catheter began to leaking into her Left Shoulder, causing her tremendous pain. The PORT Catheter, or central line, is a catheter placed in a large vein that supplies the circulatory system. A central line is needed for insertion of medications and blood products, and to provide a site where blood samples can be easily taken without pain to the child. Since Naomi’s PORT has begun leaking, it is no longer functional for her remaining 20 months of chemotherapy. Her doctors have scheduled the Line to be removed from her chest on February 26th. Please keep all of us in prayer at this time.

Thank you,

Nina

Dear Nina:
Your child is a blessing to me and my family. When you were sharing with us how you came about finding out the classes for Naomi I was very touched. I have no doubts once again that our Lord works in wonderful ways.
We will be praying for little Naomi. May the Lord lead the hands of the Doctors and nurses for a succesful surgery and places His allmighty hand on her to heal her and restore all of her cells back to normal. I see her one day blooming to become a beautiful Hula dancer. Blessings to all the family. With much aloha, Maile Delgado.
