Daudi & Ted
Daudi's Case: Daudi is one of our reintegrated boys, and during a home visit two weeks ago, our staff member found out that Daudi had dislocated and fractured his arm after falling out of a tree. To make matters worse, his family decided to use traditional African medicine to attempt to treat the injury. A local healer cut his arm in different places and rubbed herbs into the cuts. By the time our Agape team member found Daudi, a week had passed and his arm was badly infected from the cuts, still dislocated, and still fractured. We immediately took Daudi to Jal Aram Hospital where they began to treat Daudi. For the past two weeks, the hospital has been treating the infection so that they could operate, yesterday being the day of surgery.
Ted's Case: On Tuesday, one of our vehicles ended up in the ditch outside of Agape's front gate. A tow rope was tied to the truck in the ditch, and as the truck was being pulled out Ted, one of my managers, made the mistake of trying to push the truck from behind. The truck shifted, pinning his left arm to a tree and snapping both bones in his left forearm. Pretty nasty! The surgeon had to put a plate in each bone of his forearm yesterday evening.
We praise the Lord that Daudi and Ted made it through their surgeries well. Both will remain in the hospital for a few days as they recover from surgery. Please keep both in your prayers as they recover!
