“Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you. All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.” Selah Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭66‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Today Oleg had his sixth surgery. This one to remove shrapnel from his head. A couple of days ago there was another surgery to work to save his foot. Doctors are hopeful and we are too!

I believe that the Bible is true. The Bible says

“Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” James‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Please continue to pray for this young man. May God be glorified!

Thank you folks for checking in and praying. We know that God hears our prayers.

Oleg’s doctors remain cautiously hopeful. There was another surgery today. The surgeons continue to be hopeful. We know the Lord is at work.

Let’s pray specifically for the Lord to guide the surgeon’s minds, eyes, and hands. Asking our Father to renew the blood circulation and touch bone, tendon, and muscle.

O Lord knit together Oleg’s foot and bring health for you to get glory!

To God be all glory.

Thank you for checking in and praying.

This morning Oleg and his family are waiting for a fifth surgery. The doctors remain cautiously hopeful that his foot can be saved.

Here’s the prayer I’m praying this morning:

May our Lord give peace and may the surgeons’ hands be guided by He who created the body. In the name of Christ, Amen

Thank you for keeping up and praying.

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah” Psalm‬ ‭61‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

During a brief texting session just now I learned that the doctors have detected some circulation in his foot.

This is a very small encouragement, but I insist on being hopeful and renewing my prayers.

His kidneys, which were troubled due to infection that transpired between being wounded and getting medical care days later, have largely cleared. This is good news indeed.

The doctors continue to remove shrapnel (that came from the mine). I understand that this may continue for some time.

Join me in thanking God for the progress, the doctors, and the strength of Oleg’s mother. Pray, please, for Anna to be strong on the midst of this nightmare.

Please keep praying. These small bits of positive news are great, but pale compared to the greater need of not losing the foot.

Praise God also that with such injuries, he was able to crawl 2 kilometers to avoid detection, and crawl multiple kilometers later to relatively safe ground and eventually get aid.

Thanks for reading and praying.
