Prayer Requested for Missionary Hospitalized in Northern Philippines

by | Jul 23, 2015

La Trinidad, Philippines: The following prayer request was received from George Miller for his wife Nancy.

Prayer is requested for my wife Nancy.  Her legs have been swelling for a few months and she has not been moving around well.  This past week she began to complain about pain and that her legs were sore, swollen, and red.

Nancy Miller HospitalWe went to the doctor and had an ultrasound of the legs.  The ultrasound report showed venous reflux, which means the valves in the veins are not working properly, allowing the reverse flow of blood in the legs.  In this condition there is inadequate return of the blood to the heart and there is a danger of blood clots.

So far the doctors do not see any signs of a DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis).  Chest X-ray does show some congestion around her heart.  Results of other tests will be available today.

Please join us in praying for a diagnosis and recovery for Nancy. George and Nancy Miller have served as missionaries on the Asia-Pacific Region since 1989, serving in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and now at Philippine Nazarene College in the Northern Philippines.
