We made it! One month after Daryl’s scoliosis surgery, we
were on the plane back to Papua. The journey back was quite a challenge, but
the anticipation of being home gave Daryl the additional strength and energy he
needed to pull through.
First, a 3hr drive from Ipoh to Kuala Lumpur International
Airport 2.
After 1.5hrs, a 2hr flight from Kuala Lumpur to Jakarta.
After a 4hr break, a 5.5hr flight from Jakarta to Sentani.
After resting for 1.5hrs at home, it was back to school!
It seems quite unbelievable that after such a major
surgery, Daryl is more or less back in the swing of things. There are still
certain limitations, of course, but it’s great to be home. Some restrictions that Daryl
needs to adhere to are as follows:
- Not to carry anything more than 2kgs for the
next 6 months
- Not to engage in physical exercise or PE classes
for 6 months
- Not to engage in competitive contact sports for
at least 1 year
Thank you dear family and friends
for your love, support and prayers. The journey has been a wonderful one for we
have had so many of you come alongside to walk it with us. We have witnessed
Christ’s love in so many ways through all of you. We are truly blessed to be a
part of this very special community. Shalom…
