Natalie Grant

American gospel singer Natalie Grant, who had a thyroid surgery on Tuesday, Oct. 10, says 'God is Faithful!' after a successful procedure.

The 'God is Faithful!' CCM artist revealed that there was "no damage done" to her vocal chords after undergoing thyroid surgery to remove tumors.

On Saturday, barely a week after undergoing the surgery, Natalie shared an update with her fans via her social media handle writting..

"Quick update since I know I haven't posted in a bit! I'm feeling much stronger today. The first couple of days following surgery were pretty rough, mostly due to the intubation tube," Grant wrote. "I know many of you are asking about my voice. I won't post it here for those who are squeamish haha, but my surgeon filmed a bit of my surgery, showing him stimulating my vocal chords and the nerve that controls the upper range of my voice.

"I can tell you that all is as it should be, and there was no damage done to my vocal chords!," the excited singer continued.

"We had numerous confirmations about my doctor before my surgery, but I know that God absolutely led us to Dr. James Netterville. He's an authority in head and neck cancers, but also understands the intricacies of the voice. His skilled hands were the perfect ones to do this surgery. On top of it all, he loves Jesus, and that just added a beautiful layer of peace, knowing my surgeon was trusting the Great Physician to guide and direct him," Grant said.

On when she will get back to full strength, the singer said it will take a few weeks of vocal rehabilitation before the singer knows when.
 "Well, one step at a time. It'll be a minute before I belt out How Great Thou Art again. But Jesus protected my voice during surgery, and I know He'll restore it to full strength...We will share pathology news early next week," she concluded.

Grant's "Celebrate Christmas" tour with Danny Gokey is still planned to launch on November 30. Hopefully, she will be fully back then.
