Goeie dag

Ruan sien weer Dinsdag (19 Augustus) die spesialiste by Unitas om te bepaal wanneer die volgende operasie gaan plaasvind. Tot dusver gaan dit goed met Ruan, hy het wel 'n paar uitdagings van dag tot dag en ons glo dit gaan binnekort iets van die verlede wees. Ruan gaan twee keer per week vir fisioterapie en ons is innig dankbaar vir almal se hulp en bystand tot dusver. Ons laat weet julle in volgende week! 😁🙏🏻

Hi julle.

Ruan is vanmiddag ontslaan en is oppad huistoe. Ons is so dankbaar vir almal se gebede en die Here se genade in hierdie mooi storie. Die Here stap hierdie pad saam met Ruan en die Weideman gesin.

Ruan moet Dinsdag weer by die spesialis wees en dan word hy oor 3 maande weer geopereer.

Vanaand slaap hy in sy eie bed🙏🏻

Goeie naand julle.

Jammer vir die laat update. Ruan is vanoggend na 'n gewone saal geskuif. Hy het 'n baie goeie nag gehad in ICU. Hy het 'n lekker groot enkel kamer waar mamma Nadine en Erard enige tyd vir hom kan gaan kuier.

Hy is op sterk medikasie wat hom baie moeg maak, maar het vanaand 'n entjie gestap.

Dankie vir elkeen se gebede🙏🏻

Die operasie het baie goed verloop. Ons is baie dankbaar vir almal se gebede🙏🏻. Die Here stap elke tree saam Ruan en sy gesin🙏🏻. Hy is huidiglik in ICU, sal hopelik môre oorskuif na hoë sorg. Operasie was net meer as 5 ure gewees en die hele gewas is verwyder. Ruan slaap nou baie rustig🙏🏻.

Hy praat met ons, eerste ding wat hy gesê het is dat hy vreeslik warm kry en baie dors is.

Asseblief hou vir Ruan in jul gebede vir die herstel pad wat wag🙏🏻❤️

Vandag is die groot dag🙏🏻. Besig om te voor te berei vir die teater🙏🏻.

Ons bid vir jou Ruan en alles sal goed gaan🙏🏻.

*Nadine Weideman, mom of 16-year-old Ruan Weideman*

16-year old Ruan Weideman from Tzaneen, has a twin-brother and older brother. Their mom, Nadine has raised them on her own after their dad sadly died seven years ago. Despite this loss and the challenges, Nadine and her sons have managed to build a life, where they can thrive.

At the end of last year, Ruan started complaining of a problem with his teeth … in January he was diagnosed with an Odontogenic Myxoma: a fast growing tumour in his jaw. The tumour is not cancerous, but it is growing at an alarming pace. The family does not have a medical aid, so Nadine has consulted at various state and private institutions - as the tumour has now grown into Ruan’s pallet and nose - threatening his one eye and growing towards his brain.

The only solution is a specialised operation at a hospital in Centurion - which has been scheduled for early May. He would also require reconstructive facial surgery after the tumour as been removed and the scars have healed.

This is an extremely costly road to recovery - so Nadine’s employer, Ruan’s school and the greater Tzaneen community have been hard at work to raise funds for this to happen.

The tumour is life threatening but curable and the community of Tzaneen are doing all on their ability to make this happen. Many of them have written to Good Morning Angels to help this mother save her son.

HOPE FOR RUAN

Urgent donations needed, Time is of the Essence!

Ruan (aged 16), one of identical twins, is currently fighting against a rare
tumour and TIME! A non-malignant aggressive tumour (Odontogenic Myxoma) in
his upper jaw is rapidly growing which destroys the tissue into which it
grows and he urgently needs specialised surgery to stop it spreading to the
brain. This type of surgery can only be done at certain specialised
hospitals in South Africa. The rapid enlargement of the tumour appeared to
outpace the planning, hence the urgency for this operation at a Private
Institution.

Ruan is an amazing, bright, hardworking and fun-loving typical 16-year-old
boy, with ambitions and dreams for the future. Ruan's world was turned
upside down on the 1st of February 2024. A routine dentist visit changed
his life forever. The initial anticipation of a simple wisdom tooth ni**le
turned out to be a very aggressive tumour growing within his upper jaw! This
was the start of a whirlwind of shock, fear and concern for the family. The
tumour has quickly started expanding into his face and sinuses with such
aggression and speed, specialists are concerned. The bad effect of the
tumour growing higher into the skull and around the eye socket, cannot be
underestimated.

Every day that this tumour expands, more complications with regards to the
surgery, reconstruction and recovery are expressed by the surgeons and
specialists. This is a small family, single mom of 3, who do not have a
medical aid. The husband and father of the children suddenly passed away
when the twins were 10-years-old.

Specialised surgery and hospitalisation are incredibly expensive. However,
costs are being incurred and the overwhelming pressure, knowing that this
tumour is growing every day and becoming more and more life threatening is
weighing heavily on the family. Funds need to be raised prior to any surgery
planned. Ruan would really appreciate the compassion, and financial
contributions from the public to help have this surgery performed as
URGENTLY as possible, in order for Ruan to continue to look forward to a
better future

We urgently appeal for donations from the public to find it in their hearts
to donate funds towards this cause as the funds are needed for the
commencement of a 20+ hour operation including his hospital fees,
specialists and psychological support.
