Angelique

Angelique is a patient who has been around the ship since the fall, when she had the first of her surgeries.

You can see from this picture just how thin she is.  Patients with these large facial tumors are very isolated.
Many have given up hope of ever being normal. They need spiritual healing as well as physical healing.
We have a great team of chaplains in the hospital who work with the patients.  We know that God is in charge of their healing.

As she heals, her skin will eventually shrink to fit her face.  Dr Parker has pioneered this type of surgery and teaches his techniques to other surgeons.  Angelique has been staying at the Hope Center between surgeries.  Today she had her fifth surgery, and we gave her a unit of blood.  She has received a total of eleven units of blood as a result of all those surgeries.
