Paul & Becky Abel’s Daughter

Christina and her husband Daniel were in a bad car accident Saturday.  We are rejoicing that their lives were spared and they are both fine but Christina needs our prayers as she broke her right arm above and below the elbow and broke her elbow as well.

Daniel and Christina headed for the beach for a couple of days of rest on Saturday.  However, their plans were quickly changed when their car was totaled on the highway.  There are lots of details and miracles I could mention, but we just want to get the word out so that many of you can join with us in prayer for Christina this week.  She received good medical attention at a hospital Saturday night. 

Daniel was very brave and watched another orthopedic surgeon work on his dear wife in the operating room. She was transferred by ambulance to a hospital in Curitiba today.  Monday Christina's arm will be evaluated to determine when the next surgery will take place.  She needs to set the bones and have a prosthesis to replace the ball of her elbow which will probably include a bone graft.  One of Daniel's trusted teachers will be doing the surgeries.

Please pray for successful surgeries and no infections. We are all rejoicing that Christina is alive to celebrate her 27th birthday on Friday.
