A friend in need

I have a friend here in Bamboo Forest (let's call him Oscar) and his 64-year-old mother is having a very large tumor removed from the side of her neck Monday morning our time (Sunday evening American time, around your bedtime probably). It is a very tricky and risky surgery, so I told Oscar that I would get some of my friends to pray for his mother (and to pray for him and his dad too). They don't have any Christian friends, so I am lending him mine to stand in the gap! :-)

Can you please pray for this situation? His mom is a professional photographer, has only one child, and is a life-long city dweller. Oscar, in his early 30s and still living at home -- as is the custom prior to marriage here -- is scared.

Thank you.

UPDATE OF NOVEMBER 2ND: Oscar's mom went through the surgery well. She was weak right after the surgery and they were worried, but now she is able to walk a little in the hospital unassisted, and can drink soup. They hope she can go home in a few days. Thank you for praying for her.
