Hospital Room with a View

Mark had a total knee replacement on Thursday, June 10 in Hong Kong, China.   He is under the care of the orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kong who works at Matilda Hospital here and goes to Beijing monthly for consultations.   Since Mark had severe osteo arthritis in his right knee which was getting worse with each passing day, surgery was recommended.   About 4 days after school was out we flew from Tianjin to Hong Kong for the week stay.  What a beautiful place !  The hospital is on Hong Kong island near the Peak, a very famous place here.  This is a very old hospital, but also very modern and highly professional.  We are very pleased with everything here.  We are also so thankful to our loving Father for His unfailing love and compassion to us, and for all our family and friends for their encouraging words and prayers for us.  I had been struggling with fear and anxiety the night before the surgery.  The next morning the Lord gave me this verse before his surgery: "God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble, so we will not fear."  Psalm 46:1

  After his first physiotherapy treatment...getting up and walking for the first time...he felt no pain, just tightness.   Stay tuned for more news.
