In Christ alone...

Shanti Burman (name changed) had been advised hysterectomy by a gynaeclogist in the city for DUB but wanted it done in our hospital.She was an obese lady ,I was a little reluctant but anyways went ahead with it.
Needless to say it was a difficult hysterectomy.It felt like working in a well.
Halfway through there was a bladder injury but we repaired it and kept a catheter on .
I had to go for my annual leave.My junior for some reason removed the catheter.The senior sister ,when she came for rounds found her leaking urine so she immediately catheterised her.I was away for a fortnight so when I reached back she gave me the ominous news that the patient had developed VVF.I was greatly disturbed to hear this.However when I went for my prayer,a peace that passeth all understanding came over me.I continued to carry that peace with me even as we saw Shanti Burman through the dressing for her abdominal wound which was taking it's time healing each time we used to find her pad partially wet.
She was to keep the catheter for six weeks.
We all were praying for a supernatural healing for her .
One day I sent in this email.
Please pray victory and perfect healing for two patients I did an abdominal hysterectomy on.One of them has developed a vvf and we are waiting in faith for the Lord to heal her in the next three weeks.
Thanks.
Dr Chering.
I plain forgot about it.
On the evening of 5th April I happened to saunter into the hospital at around 11.30 PM and I saw a car standing outside the emergency.When I asked the chowkidaar if there was a patient he said it is just a patient  come for a catheter change.When I asked who ?,he said Shanti Burman.My antennae was up and I immediately went to the casualty.She was lying on the bed and she insisted we remove the catheter because she had no need for it.She had suddenly had a severe urge to micturate and the bladder had felt full.She had screamed in pain at home and had sat on the floor and had emptied her bladder inspite of the catheter.I checked her catheter,it was draining urine.I counselled her for bit,puzzled.Changed her catheter but she refused to put a pad.
Next morning I opened my mail I had received this mail.

From that day onwards we continued to thank the Lord for the miraculous healing.The lady seemed very firm in the fact that she did not need the pad or the catheter but we humbly requested her to keep the catheter on for six weeks.In the meantime staffs in different ways ministered to her and her son.
The day before yesterday we removed her catheter.There has been no complaint.We continue to thank the Lord for the victory ,restoration and healing that is there in Christ alone.

night-hunting.

 Monda suggested  we go  hunting. Dressed up to beat the rains and the unpredictable weather we ventured out at night with the two Dawas. Annie had baked a cake for Rumpanol.It started  pouring in spurts but nothing could beat the enthusiasm.The junior Dawa was to drive us to a place around fifteen kilometres up the north Sikkim highway.We would come across three rivulets of sort where we could possibly find the edible frog.The senior Dawa was already at the spot making a pathway in the jungle for us to proceed. We reached the spot at around eight at night.in the pitch dark one could hear the sound of frogs of all variety and we started seeing quite a few but none of edible variety.We shuffled around in the rain with an umbrella,raincoat and torches like Nancy drew exploring the grasses and having eye contacts with stunned frogs which seemed to have lost the ability to run .The two boys did a Tarzen and was lost in the jungle with a sling bag ,a torch sans any cover from the rain.While

Feet in the water.

  Fifteen days of earned leave after working for two years,I was praying in a house group prayer and worship and pleading with the Lord to show me something ,when it was not forthcoming I surrendered to the Lord and prayed let your will be done and then I saw the Lord walking up a winding road and deep in my spirit I knew He was calling me to follow Him .I did not know where to but I thanked the Lord and said yes. I have been living more in the unseen world than the seen world. Suddenly out of the blue I received a message from Dr Arpit asking me to replace them in Madhipura  for a  fortnight. I needed to go because things were getting a little intense and I needed sometime to step back and mull some things over. I had no idea why the Lord was taking me back to the old world of EHA , mission hospitals and friends from the yore. Travelling to Madhipura , I  continnued to ask the Lord, 'Why this road? I had no idea why I was going  where I was going.I am glad I came because I could r

Thank you.

 After almost five months of struggling with the nitty gritties the dialysis unit opened last week. We were able to dialyse our set of first three patients over the last few days. So much of effort,dissapointments ,struggles,joys and most importantly prayers have gone into the venture.Many who will never see the fruit of their prayers have invested their prayers into it. The day it started with many apprehension I was praying at the early morning hour and put my head on the pillow to rest and then just as I was about to sleep I saw a vision of Jesus on His knees interceding.That is how much my Lord cares for us and this morning while listening to Alistair I realised that He deals with us like a father does a five year old .That is how He sees us. Lord Jesus ,you are the crown on my head and the only thing I can take pride in.
