God is good all the time
Roonruang is a village kid of 8 years. Last December it was cold.... so his grandma dressed him in triple nylon jackets, and brought in the charcoal fire to warm them.... He rolled over in his sleep, caught his jacket alight. Panic set in, fear of burning down the bamboo house, he ran outside, fanning the flames. He suffered burns to his whole torso, front and back. Because of poverty, he never had proper medical treatment.
Last month, his teacher brought him to us.... grandma had given up on him. His right arm was fixed, because the scar tissue joined his right upper arm to his rib cage. His body was covered in scaly dry skin which he scratched until bleeding and infection set in. What a mess!
We took him to the local hospital, who referred us to provincial hospital in Kanchanaburi.... they estimated the cost to 120,000 baht. A friend visiting, promised the funds.... but we were referred to Nakom Prathom hospital near Bangkok. We saw the plastic surgeon on Friday, and he was given surgery on Tuesday morning at a cost of 10,000 baht..... We thought the problem would be the parental permission for surgery.... but they accepted my signature on the documents...NO public health service around the world is this quick.... Praise God for His hand in this small one's life. Muwai is taking care of him in the hospital, expecting them home next Wednesday. He is already moving his arm about, raising it to shoulder level. Also he is walking about, in spite of the skin graft been taken from his thigh.
God gives the power to all the nursing staff, he heals the sick and gives us courage to reach out and upward unto Him. Happy Sabbath.
