The Morgan-Gurrs

Thankyou everyone for praying for Kay, and thanks for the many cards and good wishes.
The surgery went well, and her recovery is going to plan too. The biggest problem is sitting still when she knows there is still much to do for Spring Harvest – but she is managing it.
Steve is multi-tasking in the extreme and looking after Kay very well (Many references to Dobby the house elf have been made on facebook!)
Biggest prayer requests are:
For Steve – enough hours in the day, and the ability to record all his new songs in time for Spring Harvest, with the least amount of hassle.
For Kay – continued good recovery and no more coughing or sneezing…. it hurts! To know the right time to start gently doing some of the paper work and printing for Spring Harvest, and a clear, unworried mind until that time.
Thanks again!

This is a picture of “Huggy Bear”! One of our lovely God Daughters bought him especially to go into hospital with me…. all her idea – not her parents! He sitting in my overnight bag to make sure he goes with me – he doesn’t want to be forgotten!! He’s also keeping safe a little paper heart that another one of our lovely God daughters gave to me to take into hospital – it has a squiggly line on it. All I have to do is follow the line with my finger and remember that God walks this path with me. 

What Lovely God daughters we have…….

Our second entry today is really information about something that we would appreciate prayer for.

As those of you who check the blog regularly will know, Kay has fibromyalgia. It doesn’t take much to upset this condition – even the slightest infection can cause problems, but usually, Kay will go back into a time of remission after each flare up. We have been waiting for the next remission to happen for a very long time and along with the doctors, we’ve been wondering why it wasn’t happening, and the condition just appeared to be getting worse.

Well – we think we may have found out why!

We don’t want to bore you, or make you feel squeamish with details, but doctors found something that although unrelated to the Fibro, is probably making it worse. On a scan they found one very large Fibroid (A benign tumor that ladies can get), about 7 inches long, with the possibility of another one tucked behind it. These are creating general mayhem in side, pressing on things – possibly the nerve pathways that affect the way Kay walks, and causing a great deal of pain and infection. The doctors are hopeful of remission within the year after removing them

So – on 10^th March, Kay will be going into hospital for an operation to remove the fibroids. There is a chance that they may have to do a hysterectomy too.

The eagled eyed among you will notice that this is three and a half weeks before Spring Harvest, but can we assure you that the doctors are more than happy for Kay to still go, with certain provisos, even if they do a hysterectomy. In fact, they were positively encouraging her!

We have been receiving a shed load of “advice” from people since the news of this has got out – and some of it has been given quite aggressively and without much grace.

We are asking those who feel they have advice to give to leave that job to our council of reference and Kay’s doctors, or if they feel they have big concerns – talk to our council of reference and not us. Thankyou.

We will post a message on here as soon as we can after the operation to let you know how Kay is.

We leave for Spring Harvest on 3^rd April, but more info on that before we go…..

Once again – it’s a while since the last update, and much has happened! So much, we will be be updating you with two entries on the blog.
Once again life has been a round of meetings, assemblies and meeting up with team – all of which have been going very well.
Like many people we were keeping an eye on the news – especially with the fires in Australia. Again, like so many people we had friends over there. Then, what you hope will never happen did – the mother of Kay’s friend rang to say she and her son’s had been killed in the fires in Marysville.
Liz and Kay had been firm friends from the age of 13, and had remained in touch after she moved to Australia. She even sang at her wedding! With all the reports about Liz and her boys on the national news, very little was said of her strong Faith in God, and the faith of her boys. Rod, her husband, a strong but gentle Christian man, survived but has burns that we are told are healing well.
One part of her memorial service summed Liz up very well: An infectious giggle, an amazing sense of humour, a strong desire to serve God and others…..and no fashion sense at all! All of her friends have many happy memories of Liz, and have stories of how she had stood with us in times of trouble, or laughed with us in the moments of joy – some times hysterically at something that wasn’t really that funny – as only friends can do!
She may have been a long way from us physically for the last few years, but we all still miss her very much.
