    Chemotherpy Begins

    Medical team informed uncle that chemotherapy would begin today (12-07-2013).
    The first one month will be  'concentrated course' i .e giving heavy dose of medicines.
    The team will monitor counts during  the first week.
    They are hopeful that mobility would be restored in few weeks.I will divulge details in my next update. It looks that Uncle's general condition is good to withstand the medicine.
    I believe that this is possible because of the intercession of many saints on uncle's favour.
    Please continue to lift uncle to His throne of Grace.
    Pray for his daughter Pramila who is attending on him.

    Uncle understands his sickness and prays with others... Update 7

    "Ponnuraj uncle seemed to have realized the gravity of the sickness only  this morning.  His daughter (Mrs. Pramila Rajendren revealed the details. As a godly person, he accepted it.
    Radiotherapy (first session) was given in the morning.This may extend for another four days
    The bone marrow biopsy results will reveal the exact location and the stage of this illness.The result may come at any time.  The exact nature and method of treatment (what they call 'protocol') will be decided only after that. 
    After radiotherapy, uncle may have to stay outside and come to CMC only for the treatment.
    Pray for the stay and related arrangements. MUT guest house is one option....
    This evening, uncle's two brothers from Madurai visited him with a few of the relatives.Uncle prayed for them and the two brothers prayed for uncle"

    Pray for the Radiotherapy..... Update 6



    “HSP uncle was alert and relaxed in the morning. In the afternoon he was stressful and "in-built tense" because of the various tests taken to ascertain the stages of his health problem.
    At 6.30am.  Dr Lionel Gnanaraj (of CMC Vellore) came to the room and informed uncle of the presence of multiple myeloma in his body. Uncle asked him a few questions and the doctor explained to him various therapies with its pros and cons.
    Uncle' son and daughter, their spouses and I were present in the room during this time. Uncle took the news about his health in peace and we all had a time of prayer.
    I had left CMC by 7.30pm.
    Prami (uncle's daughter) sent me a SMS which said, “They are going to start radiotherapy tomorrow".
    Let us continue to pray for the correct protocol- i.e., the right kind of treatment to be administered to him and for the related arrangements”

    The Wellness of HSP Uncle... Update 5

    Dear Praying Friends,

    HSP Uncle ( now at Christian Medical College, Vellore) needs our fervent prayers, so also the doctors and teams who are taking care of him and doing very important tests at the moment. Uncle needs healing, his children who are with him needs the Lord's special grace. The doctors needs much wisdom too to share with uncle about his health condition. Please pray....       5.00 pm  8th July 2013

    Read an important statement about HSP on the middle of the Page 79 of the book PDF seen online


     "The wellness of........" This has been a favorite phrase I had seen HSP Uncle using in his short emails passing on the health needs of others for intersession. Please see the latest update from Brother Sundarsingh  Phil

    The medical team will take a decision tomorrow on the therapy to be administered for HSP UNCLE and then the news will be conveyed to him in the afternoon by Dr Lionnel.
    Pray that God may grant wisdom to the medical team as well as for uncle to receive the news in the strength of the Lord.

    Yesterday, he showed Malachi 4:2 to his daughter:   
    "But for you who revere my Name ,the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings.  And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall"

    Updates on H.S.Ponnuraj Uncle

    Brother Sundarsingh kept me posted on uncle HS Ponnuraj:

    " Ponnuraj uncle suffers from Senile Osteoporosis (an old age complaint) and has been in bed for the last few weeks. Dr David Solomon monitored him from Ambur. On 2nd July evening, there was profuse sweating and giddiness. It made Dr David Solomon (in consultation with Dr Lionnel) to opt for shifting uncle H S Ponnuraj to CMC Vellore. On 3rd, he is (was) admitted at CMC Vellore. Dr.Kenny, neurosurgeon attended on him by 7:30pm. He ruled out neuro-related complaints. He calls for investigations like Blood Test, X-ray and MRI-spine. This may take 2-3 days. Treatment will begin only after the results. Uncle is cheerful."

    I had met HS Ponnuraj Uncle first time 13 years ago at a workshop at Highfield Kotagiri. We had some brieft interactions during those three days. But the impression I had him on has been profound and lasting. I decided to be more prepared when I wanted to see him after a decade and more though. After that visit, I used to get brief mails almost on a daily basis from him, in Big fonts and most often it will be a prayer need of someone whom he knew closer and at times some brief quotes that he thought worth pondering. Now what below is a wonderful interaction between before I could meet him the third time. It is a great learning  and I am sure you don't want to miss it either.. Phil
    <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

     
    I had visited uncle HSP a couple of months @ his home in Dharmpuri, during my first ever visit to the town. During a recent visit I had planned to meet him up again. I wanted to make sure he would it be right to visit him; so I dial.... (I am quoting one of my earlier post on the FB)

    Good morning Uncle, this is Philipose....

    "Where are you calling from?"
    I am in Dharmapuri now, can I visit you this morning?
    "How many of you? Who else is with you?"
    Two of us, my co-worker,  Andrew is with me.
    "I am sorry, I will not be able to entertain you, but you can visit me and pray for me"

    Uncle was not well lately and I have been getting his short mails about the wellness of many others and at last about himself last week. Since I was visiting his district, I had planned to visit him and pray with him.

    "Where are you coming from?; Chennai?" "How did you come?"

    Uncle, I am coming from Chennai. I took a bus. He is coming from Salem, driving his bike. We would need the bike for our local visits.
    (And he did entertain us. He has a helper who was directed to offer us tea or coffee, but as we declined, he suggested to provide us some juice though we had our breakfast just a few minutes ago)

    Over a glass of fresh lemon juice, we had chats on several matters though brief, including around our families and the ministry trip we were in that day.


    We spoke about my father who is older than he is. We talked about Late Mr.Paul Sudhakar, Rev. P.T. Chandapilla and few others. And at the end Uncle asks:

    "What else can I do for you"

    Uncle, you can pray with us, or to say,  feel with us. I am sure you believe..."prayer is the sincere desire of the soul, uttered or un uttered....." quoting from a famous writer. 



    We did pray with and for uncle.

    "Now where are you going from here"

    We are going to meet ............. ( I explained our plan for the day) 


    "Do you have his contact number?"

    Yes Uncle. We will call him soon when we leave you.

    "What is the mode of your transport?"
    Uncle, we have the bike with us.
    "Ok"

    We said bye with the hope of seeing again, left for our next location.


    An hour later uncle calls me on my mobile. I disconnected it as we were on a short 'intercession' thinking I will call him shortly. 


    He calls a bit later; his voice was breaking and not audible. I disconnected and said, 'Uncle, your voice is breaking and I will call you'.  I get again a call from his land phone ( I have saved both on my mobile).

    Uncle sorry that I could not hear you earlier.
    "Now are you free?"
    Yes uncle.
    "When you were here, I wanted to take a tablet. Did you see me opening it and taking it?"
    No uncle, you were about to take it and you were looking for water I think. And you got a call on your mobile and you left the medicine back. You did not take it.

    "So you did not see me taking the medicine..?"
    Yes uncle, you are right.

    Do you know who this uncle is? He is H. S. Ponnuraj - Hezekiah Ponnuraj
     

    And here is his latest email to me as he sends to many others frequently:
    "Dr.David Solomon of Ambur will go for cataract surgery this Wednesday at Salem.Please be praying that the surgery go well. Thanks"

     
    Of course, this is just an abridged version of the dialogue between us today. Please do pray for Unlce Ponnuraj. If you do not know him personally ask your senior friend in the UESI about him. I met him in 1999 for the first time and then lately two and a months ago. The impressions of him in my mind are important ones in several respects. Now he needs a healing touch on his back. He said he may have to go through a traction for his disk gap in the vertebra. (I think he said number- 4)
