The doctor recommended amputating the boys injured legs. The parents were greatly troubled. They had already lost one son, and now their other son would lose his legs. But they did not lose faith. They asked the doctor for a postponement of the amputation. The doctor agreed. For two months, the parents and the doctor debated whether and when to amputate.

They never amputated the boys legs. But despite the doctors greatest efforts, when the bandages were finally removed, it was discovered that the boy right leg was almost three inches shorter than the left one. Also, the toes on his left foot were almost completely burned off. Yet the boy was fiercely determined. Despite the great pain, he began a course of physical therapy. Every day he forced himself up in bed to exercise his muscles. Finally, he was able to stand and take a few painful steps. Then, using crutches, he gradually learned how to walk again. Slowly recovering, the young man finally threw away his crutches and began to walk. Soon he was running.
