When you love
the outdoors as Daryl does, the weekends are often action-packed. And here on
our island, this energetic MK has an abundance of choice for fun and adventure:
1.
Going up to the
waterfall
2.
Hanging out
at the lake
3.
Having fun
at the river
4.
Spending the
day at the beach
So, when
told that he should take care that he has no open cuts/wounds prior to surgery,
it gets a little tricky. This is the boy who got stitches on his foot because he
cut it on some barnacles while climbing onto the dock at the beach. This is the
boy who got scrapes and scratches from slipping and falling at the waterfall. This
is the boy who stepped on a rusty nail while playing by the lake.
Hmmmm… so, how
does one make sure he doesn’t hurt himself before December 15? We don’t really
have any answers. While we know we need to be careful, we also know we ought
not to be fearful. Daryl has shown maturity and wisdom in his judgements thus
far, and so we choose to let him make those calls – what he thinks he can or
cannot do. We talk about pros and cons and assess the risks involved in his
weekend activities; and we are delighted that he has been making wise choices.
Nonetheless, we ask that you please continue to pray with us that the Lord
protects him and keeps him strong and healthy in these days leading up to his
operation…
Isaiah 41:10: So do not fear for I am with you; do
not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will
strengthen you and help you; I
will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
