40 year old Theresia from Elemighong did arrive at our hospital last week. Dr Jim Unger saw her and ultrasound showed multiple fibroids in her extremely enlarged uterus. Theresia had successful surgery with removal of her bowling ball sized uterus. Theresia is doing very well and will be able to go home later this week. Theresia’s surgery turned out to be a family affair for the Unger family. Dr Jim was assisted by his daughter Marcia who recently finished her 2nd year of medical school at LSU. Rose, Jim’s wife, was the circulating nurse during the operation.
Jim and Terry Hake have been at St. Martin de Porres Hospital in Njinikom, Cameroon since July 2010. With the prayerful support of their family and friends, and relying on Our Lord to be their daily companion, they are in the second year of a three year mission.
