One of the many blessings the Lord provided for me when I was in the hospital was my “angel”, Aaron Costerisan (sorry, Aaron, if I misspelled your last name…). Aaron was one of the med students on the surgical team. When he came in to meet both of us the night before his appearance reminded me of a young version of a friend of mine who is somewhat well known in Christian radio. So I asked Ken and Jaime if they knew my friend and as they said no, Aaron said “I know who he is.” And I told him he looked like a younger version of my friend and I asked him how he knew him. As it all came out, Aaron was a Wheaton College grad and a believer. He is the nicest young man and I instantly felt the Lord had sent him my way to help me through this surgical process.
He seemed to always be there when I needed some encouragement. He was the first surgical team member to come into the room early the next morning and I was starting to freak out. He stopped and prayed for me at that point. A great blessing and comfort. Later I was in pre-op he was there sitting at a computer working away and looked at me and smiled. I was already freaking out about pre-op so just his smile was a great comfort. Then they started poking me and putting in huge IV lines (he one they put in me the night before wasn’t “big enough” according to the docs) and all kinds of things and I really started freaking out. The anesthesiologist came to talk to me about the process and I told her about my fears. She was fine but not particularly comforting. And just then who should walk by but Aaron and he looked at me and smiled! Praise the Lord for Aaron.
And, Aaron, if you’re out there and reading this I pray for you often and know that the Lord has an amazing ministry for you as a doctor. May you be blessed.
