We were in an accident in Indonesia. And kyle was flown by air ambulance to Singapore for life saving surgeries Indonesia was not equipped to perform. Kyle has suffered broken collar bone, broken scapula, 7 broken ribs, lacerated spleen and pneumothorax of the left lung. Likely punctured by a rib. They drained 600 ml of blood from the lung and he currently has a chest tube still draining. But little improvements every day.
In comparison my injuries were more mild. I have concussion and some stitches but otherwise okay.
As you can imagine air ambulance and foreign hospital bills have mounted. Our insurance has reached their limit and the shortfall will be approximately $40000 SGD as he still will need more scans and chest tube extraction. Plus hotel bills etc to stay near hospital.
We had a couple woundeful friends who flew to Indonesia and sailed Blowin Bubbles to a marina just across the river in Malaysia. We cannot afford to bring her to Singapore. But she is safe and close by.
I know this blog reaches many people and if you can share it again that will be even more people.
Thank you for all your support.
We look forward to mending and continuing our work with right to write ministry in the future!
