Street Child AcapulcoOctober 1, 2007Jamie and Jennifer BurkemperMedical EmergencyWe just got home from the Hospital here in Acapulco where we had to take John after he fell broke his arm.(the same arm he broke twice last year). He fell and broke his arm this afternoon at Casa Hogar where he was playing with some of his friends. The problem is that one of the metal plate in his arm is now bent in a 90 deg angle and will have to have surgery to remove it and replace the plate. This will be a difficult procedure as the bone has started to grow around the plate and we are afraid of the possibilty of nerve damage. We have the first flight out of Acapulco at 7 in the morning and will arrive in Dallas at 11:30. Please pray for JohnÕs pain till we arrive and during the hospital stay. He is at home and is in a great deal of pain. We will be out of touch for a few days but will try to keep you informed as we don't have a laptop anymore. Thank you for your prayers and God Bless.
