Eye Update

We went to G's retina doctor yesterday morning.

THREE HOURS LATER...

He seems fine.

Some scarring in the eye will need to be watched.  Some inflammation means that he has to resume the steroid eye drops.  But, overall, the retina looks fine.

I wish we could have determined the "fine-ness" in less than 3 hours, but - it's good news.  I'll take it!

And G is thrilled because he can JUMP.  How many months now has he had to be still?  Since the surgery in October?  He jumped all down the hallway out of the doctor's office.  I don't think the boy cares if he goes blind or not; he just wants to MOVE.

So - jumping is allowed.  Running and playgrounds are back in the repertoire.  Once I buy him some prescription goggles, then riding a bike will be allowed!  We're still waiting for an ok to play with balls, and then you will surely hear G's shouts of joy.

Please continue to pray for the healing of G's eye & restoration of his vision.  But feel free to celebrate with us too.
