Giles Family: Radioactive Iodine Treatment
Thanks so much for your prayers and interest through all that Sue has been through these last 9 months. It is a fine balance between sharing too much and not enough. I hope we haven’t swamped you!
As mentioned in our last update Sue went into Westmead for 4 days - Monday 7th July to Thursday 10th July.
It wasn’t the easiest 4 days for her due to the isolation, bad head cold and a difficult time with the patient in the next room taking her food etc. But even in this difficult time God spoke to her in very specific ways. This I will leave for her to share at a later date.
On Thursday prior to being discharged she had a body scan that showed radiation still present but they allowed her to go home, but she still had to keep away from people as much as possible. The girls went up to Sue’s parents that day as well and were away for the next 8 days.
On Tuesday 15th she had a second scan which showed once again that radiation was still present.
Now she is out of isolation and slowly getting better. She is now taking her new medication (for the next 6 weeks they have her on a high dose) that replaces what the Thyroid use to do but still has days when she doesn’t have much energy and so is still taking things nice and easy.
Her next appointment is on the 18th August at which time the doctor will determine the correct dosage of her medication.
Our next big day with the Public hospital system is for Matthew on the 30th July. Matthew needs surgery to correct an issue on his lower back area. He should be in Canterbury hospital for a few days and at home for sometime after that. Please pray for him, for the surgery, recovery and also that he won’t get to far behind in his school work.

well, not NOTHING, but it was a real trial to find newsworthy stories and especially accounts of spiritual life in this allegedly lovely little country on the fault line between the balkans and western europe. a couple of tidbits...
it's the only ex-communist country to have held the presidency of the EU (in 2007).
shortly after being accepted INTO the EU (in 2004) the government decided to vote out of existence an anti-corruption initiative that had been set up in order to speed up accession into the EU. clever pragmatists, those Slovenes :)
on the church/religion level here is a sneak preview of what i wrote for OW:
South Slavs – pray for unity and the formation of an Evangelical Alliance. Almost none of the few dozen fellowships are self-funding; the vast majority rely on external financial support. Pray for Slovene Christians to rise to the challenge of supporting their own pastors and even sending missionaries.

on the church/religion level here is a sneak preview of what i wrote for OW:
A long history of Catholic tradition is under threat. The three main Christian groups (Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran) are lacking in spiritual vitality and in rapid decline into irrelevance. Atheism and New Age beliefs are increasingly prevalent as is general spiritual apathy. Pray for an awakening in the mainline churches that will draw the many nominal Christians into personal faith in Christ.
Evangelicals are few, underfunded and divided. There is an evangelical presence in only 28 out of 210 municipalities, so church planting teams are clearly needed. The tiny evangelical population often reflects the divisive culture of theSubscriptions
