From Winkie Pratney

May/16/07  We're getting ready to depart soon for Auckland, New Zealand. Winkie is doing well, and is just awaiting his discharge from here at the hospital. Here is a word from him: "We're finally on our way back to New Zealand. Though we appreciate all the care we've been given here by the church and hospital we're looking forwards to [...]

Winkie Pratney Update

May/09/07 Winkie has met with several neurologists now, in regards to the shakiness in his left hand. They did a number of coordination tests with him. He has also had a series of electrical shock tests, which revealed an impairment in his left ulnar nerve (nerve running along the outside of his left arm from elbow to wrist). They are [...]

Winkie Pratney Update

May/06/07  We finally got a rough estimate on when we might be able to leave. Dr. Lim came by this morning and said he thinks Winkie should be able to leave on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week (May 15th or 16th). Assuming Winkie is able to and well enough, we should be in New Zealand by May 18th. His [...]

Winkie Pratney Update

May/05/07  Winkie has had yet another restitch job on his lateral wound. They made it even tighter this time. So, this is (on his main wound) stitch job #3, I believe. There is still some seepage and we're told it may be another 2 weeks. He has been ministering from his bedside to everyone who comes to visit him, from [...]

Winkie Pratney Update

May/02/07  Winkie is looking well. We took him for a walk outside yesterday. We wheelchaired him down the elevator and across the road to a kind of field next to a soccer field inside the University grounds. I took his shoes off and he walked around barefoot, and did some exercises. His wound is still healing. There is one main [...]

With a heart full of gratitude, deep affection, and great thankfulness to God for His ongoing provision in one of the most difficult situations I've ever faced...

Winkie Pratney Update

Apr/29/07 I just finished a video conference with Winkie and Fae from his hospital bed in South Korea. Winkie was able to talk, although it's a bit tiring for him right now. The Doctors there are simply amazed at his recovery, though Winkie gets in trouble because they say he talks to much and never sleeps. That's our Winkie :) [...]

Winkie Pratney Update

Apr/29/07  Thank you all for praying! Winkie is still making progress here, but has run into a few minor bumps on the road. The first one is, the last IV they tried to give him didn't take- his veins were giving them too many problems (we think) and they finally gave up (we believe) on trying to administer the IV [...]

Winkie Pratney Update

Apr/28/07  Winkie has had his last tube removed now. His heavy stitches were also removed, and some lighter ones put in instead. So, 9 abdominal drainage tubes and 1 pleural cavity drainage tube later, he is free to walk about the hospital without the worry of tubes coming out of him. His abdominal muscles are still severed vertically, of course, [...]
