We were standing on this ancient Roman road in Madaba when Kyle phoned to say he had been in an accident and broke his leg. He was lifting a heavy piece of equipment and it fell on him, shattering his leg in a compound fracture of the tibia and the fibula. Both bones were exposed and sticking out of his leg. It sounded ugly. He is in the hospital in Murray.
Even though he was in intense pain, he still maintained his sense of humor. When we told him we were standing on a road built by the Romans over 2,000 years ago, part of which ran from Madaba, Jordan (where we were) to Jerusalem he told us they needed to update the highway.
It is very, very difficult to be half-way around the world when our son is hurt and in pain. We want to go to be with him and comfort him, but know that we must stay here. We realize that we have to have faith that the Lord will take care of him and bless him. Our fervent prayer is that He will send angels round about to watch over and be with our dear son.
