Joseph is entertaining (protecting) our patient so that I can type an update.
I made it to work today for a few hours.
Mr. Jim survived another harrowing day protecting G.
When we hit the highway it was totally full of traffic - but it cleared up enough for us to make our first hospital appointment on time.
G had not napped & was "agressive" (Mr. Jim's gentle description) - but he cooperated with the doctors!!
The opthamologist was happy with what he saw! G is starting to open his left eye. There's no inflammation. He seems to have some vision in it. It looks "great". So far, the retina seems to still be attached!!! The right eye looks fine.
Our 2:00 appointment was in the hospital and our 3:30 appointment was across town... and we made it on time!
The plastic surgeon was happy with what he saw! He said the cheek "is going to heal fine." He said that the interior damage was not as bad as originally thought. He switched his follow up appointment to match another date/time when I'll already have to be in that area.
There was no bad news.
How amazing is that? Is it possible that a few (thousand) people are praying for us?
Hope you are able to be thoughtful today about the sacrifice that Jesus made for us so long ago. We're looking forward to celebrating: HE IS RISEN! Happy Easter, friend.

So thankful for some positive updates for you guys. It is nice to see G smiling. We continue to pray for you all!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the encouragement.
ReplyDeleteEmily - those are foam armbands that have wire bands inside. They keep him from bending his arms (touching his eyes). Surprisingly, he hasn't complained about them. He's happy to play like a zombie & have me feed him. Thank goodness.
