A "Diving" Accident...

5/8/2020

0 Comments

 
Perhaps you've heard by now of the "diving accident" that has happened in the Boone household.  In my sleeplessness last night, the crazy picture of Tucker inadvertently diving into our 'under mold remediation living room, was "humorous" -- albeit strange. Without a doubt, my sweet husband can swim well....and even dive into a deep pool with success. This dive however was into the floor 10 feet away and it certainly wasn't intentional.  The results were not good. 3 fractured vertebrae in his neck and a gash on the back of his head (likely from the impact of his head against the floor with a face shield strap in between.)


He has spent the night in Intensive Care thoroughly braced and cared for.  Around midnight he was heading in for an MRI. I have not heard the results of that.  The Virus floating around all of our lives has made even my visit to the hospital impossible.  The only one who has been able to see him (besides those caring for him) is a dear friend who is a chaplain at the hospital here in Flagstaff.  Even his chaplain duties have been restricted during the Virus, but he was able to make it in late last night and pray with Tucker and share encouragement and comfort from God's Word with him. Such a blessing.  (This same brother was helping Tucker and Mr. A with our mold remediation project on Monday and Tuesday.)  Prayerfully, he will get back in there this morning before Tucker's surgery (which is currently set for 9:30 a.m.).


We are all so grateful for your messages of encouragement and love and especially your prayers.  God absolutely knows what He is doing. I can't quite see it yet, but I know that I know that I know that He is Good and Faithful and Trustworthy. So, I'll go with what I know--not what I may feel at this moment because that will most likely fluctuate. I will choose with all my reason and my heart to trust Him.


This has become our Psalm over the past 14 hours...
Psalm 46 (ESV)
God is our refuge and strength,
    a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
    though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam,
    though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
    the holy habitation of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
    God will help her when morning dawns.
6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
    he utters his voice, the earth melts.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord,
    how he has brought desolations on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
    he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
    he burns the chariots with fire.
10 “Be still, and know that I am God.
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth!”
11 The Lord of hosts is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
