Scary News

Stephen had an appointment with his retina specialist today. The question was whether or not to do surgery in the left eye. This doctor told us he was sorry to tell us, but he did not have the answer. If Stephen does not have the surgery, and his pressure continues to flucuate, then it can cause major damage to his optic nerve. However, if he does have the surgery, there is also a risk that he could have unreversible damage to the eye due to enlarge blood vessels that he has.....

So, the decision now is up to two other doctors who, one of which will perform the surgery. They have told us that Stephen will, at some point, have to have the surgery. The big question is just when??

Please continue to keep Stephen and his eyesight in your prayers. Pray that the doctors will make the right decicion about when to do the surgery and pray that if it be His will, Stephen will not loose any of his precious eye sight.
