Update on Mani

While Karen was over in India, Mani, one of our older boys was involved in an accident on the way home from school. He fractured his leg just below the knee and the bone was restricting blood supply to his lower leg. During an emergency operation at the government hospital in Madurai he had a pin and metal brace attached. After 3 1/2 weeks in hospital he was discharged and is now being cared for at Shalom. The pin and brace have now been removed and he needs to make regular trips back to hospital for monitoring and physio. We're not sure when he'll be up and walking or back at school. We appreciate everyone's prayers for his quick recover and we thank God that he suffered no infections. His parents who divorced when he was little, were tracked down and invited to stay at Shalom to assist with his rehabilitation. His Mum is now helping Rada with the cooking and his Dad is doing building and farming work. It's great to have brought the family back together after many years apart.
