Hi dears, Norberto is recovering today from the surgery yesterday. They did remove his spleen, which means he could be more susceptible to catching infections. He is feeling ok, some pain (he is on painkillers), and is currently on dialysis. It was a big open wound in his belly, so will take quite some days to recover. Thank you for lighting candles, holding prayers, meditations etc. Yesterday was super nerve-wracking as they said the puncture could've burst, which would have been life-threatening. So we are relieved beyond words that he has made it through. The next stage of treatment for the kidney issue, and indeed still the full diagnosis, is on hold until he has sufficiently recovered from the surgery.
Whilst developments with the kidney issue are moving so slowly, other things are happening so fast. Many days for Norberto have just been about remedying the complications associated with the treatments.
And there are many developments in response to my previous message - there are many possibilities of countries/ places that could provide better healthcare, and efforts are currently focusing on Sao Paulo, Germany and US. Astrid is meeting with a lawyer in Germany as his residence permit will most likely open doors there. Carie and team are working on getting him into the Mayo clinic in US. Daniel is looking into the possibility of care in Brazil, Sao Paulo is apparently the best place. Jose mentioned Mexico that sounds promising. And many friends have been suggesting other places.. I wish to respond to each. We keep all options open, whilst are focusing on these for now.
Many of you have also offered energetic healing. Any prayers/ healings etc that are given out of love and good, pure intentions are welcome. And suggestions of supplements/ alternative remedies are welcome- we are looking at using these in conjunction with Western medical care.
I’ve been wanting to thank you for many days for your incredible outpouring of love, support, donations and more. Morning to night have been so full with being there for Norberto and arranging practicalities, that I haven’t been able to thank you all personally- apologies for this. Norberto and I are deeply, deeply touched by the generosity and love that we’ve been receiving.. he never realised you love him so much!!!! We’ve both shed many tears of gratitude, feeling so blessed by the strength of the bonds we share, by the holding of community, the web of love that interweaves around us.
I’ll sign off for now with some beautiful words he wrote as your offerings flooded in. You may have already read, but they are so beautiful I'll share them here anyway!…
"Beloved ones, each loving message , so much love, enlarge my heart in a way I couldn’t ever imagine possible and I find myself crying most of the day.... no words can nearly express it... is overwhelming gratitude and love to you , every heart that beats, to life, to love itself. It means everything to me, your love show me ever widening depths of love and it is to love and share life with you all the reason for me to be alive!!! I receive and accept your blessings in humbleness and eternal gratitude It feels much more than I could ever deserve... Love to you y’all”
And lots of love from me,
