Noel Aragon Update

Last week I posted this -
Noel Aragon
If you were in Honduras last summer - with this TORCH Team, you would have met my friend Noel Aragon. Noel was the guy in Santa Ana that was always smiling. He is the preacher in the new church that was planted in that community.Noel is married and has two beautiful children.This past week, Noel emailed to let me know of some difficulties that he and his family have encountered. They have a 2 year old daughter and over the Christmas holidays, she fell down a flight of stairs at the apartment complex where they live. She landed hard on her face and the initial consultation with Dr's made them think she would be okay - no eye or brain damage. Now, after almost 3 months, there appears to be continuing problems and the Dr's are thinking that little Karina has broken 3 bones in her face and will require surgery. We won't know till she is able to secure more scans and see's a couple more Doctor types.Noel doesn't have the money to pay for surgery and our TORCH Team is going to do whatever it takes to take care of this child. I will keep everyone posted on what is happening and will post some pictures of little Karina as soon as possible. In the mean time, pray for her healing.I am travelling to Honduras this week and will be scouting areas for our work this summer. Please keep me in your prayers as we are planning for our mission this summer.

Here is the update -
Karina was able to go to the Doctor on Monday of this week. I will hear back from Noel shortly and know if she is going to have surgery. It appears from seeing Karina this weekend that she has recovered well from her injury and we all need to pray that she will get a great report.
