Yesterday I adopted a patient! We have an Adopt-a-Patient program on board that pairs up each surgery patient with a crew member. We are committed to spend time with our patients each day as they undergo their procedures and recover. It seems like an incredible opportunity to encourage and support someone as he/she goes through a potentially scary time.
My patient's name is Elizabeth, and she's 12 years old. I haven't met her yet, but she's coming in on Thursday and scheduled for plastic surgery on Friday. I don't know what her pre-op diagnosis is yet, but many of the "plastics patients" are burn victims with wounds that have healed improperly and caused major disfigurement. Please keep Elizabeth in your prayers! Pray that the Lord would be giving her strength and hope about her upcoming surgery, and please pray that the Lord would bless our friendship and use me to convey His love for Elizabeth. I'll provide more details as they come!
