Kaden’s road to recovery

We know that we have a loving God, who is sovereign, who cares for us, and who is very present in our lives. Though we may be surprised at things that come up in our day-to-day lives, He is not. On Thursday morning, just before 6am, Kaden was on his motorcycle on his way to work and was in an accident. Thankfully, he is alive. Thankfully, his head neck, spine and torso and all his internal organs look fine. Unfortunately, his extremities were injured. The patella on Kaden’s left knee was fractured badly. His left ankle is broken. His left wrist is broken. His right hand is broken. All of these require surgery which they hope to do as soon as an OR and surgeon are available.

On Thursday evening, around midnight, Kaden had his first surgery on the patella/knee. The surgeons were pleased with what they were able to accomplish. They were pleased that there were no missing fragments. Kaden is at UCI in orange. He is in good spirits. Kaden is blessed to have so many friends who are praying him through this difficult time. 

They wanted to do the surgery on his wrist and knee, at the same time, but were unable to do so. So, I think his wrist is the next priority, and after that surgery on his left ankle and his right hand. Again, we are so thankful that he is alive that he is cheerful that he is willing to trust in God’s plan even when that plan clearly differs from what we thought it was.

Please pray with us that Kaden would continue to be strong and rely on the Lord, that surgeries will be scheduled in the right timing, that he would continue to heal, that we would continue to be a light in a place where so many are in darkness and lacking hope.
