Helen's Eye Update: Calling All Prayers

Yesterday it was time again for yet another eye check up for Helen. Although going in I knew it was more than just the normal check up every 2-3 months. For this time it was possible we would talk about Helen having eye surgery. For myself as a human being the word surgery scares me. And as far as being a parent the word surgery not only scares me but worries me. As I sit her writing I keep thinking to myself that it's not fair. It's not fair that I; age 25 never had to have surgery or get put under and my little two year old has to already. But I have to keep reminding myself that God has a plan for all of us whether we know what his plans are for and why. Although I don't understand this plan just yet and maybe I never will.

Here is where we stand as of yesterday at Helen's latest eye check up. The reason they think we haven't been able to get her to wear her glasses lately is because her prescription has changed, causing her vision to be blurry when we put her glasses on. Duh! Makes total sense to us now. Therefore we had to order her a new prescription for her glasses. Cha ching! Her RX had gone down which is a good thing.  That does not solve the problem though. We have to get her to wear her glasses for the day or at least the patch for one hour in the day if she refuses her glasses. This may be a good ultimatum for us parents. Her right eye still crosses in towards her nose while her left eye is focused strait. Her left eye is now also starting to cross in while her right eye is focused strait. They want her left eye to cross in more than it is currently before her eye surgery in December or January. We have another check up in December regardless. Also a week before her eye surgery we will go in and they will be getting her glasses situated for her eyes to get use to look both strait at the same time. They will want her to wear them for the week before surgery. As far as number of surgeries in our future? We are not sure yet. We are hoping for just one but could be two, we are just not sure at this time. As her mom I must show her that I am strong so she will be as well.

We love prayers for Helen's up coming eye surgery. And leave a few words of encouragement for her.

I have my "comment box" open for everyone.
