Detached Retina

          It has been a loooong week already and it isn't over yet.  Sunday night my husband's eye had a black formation in it that caused him to think he was experiencing another detached retina.  Yes I did say ANOTHER.... 12 yrs ago on the day I found out I was expecting our first baby, he called from Arizona and said he was flying home for emergency surgery because he had a detached retina in his right eye.

     Well now it is the left eye acting up.  This time it wasn't a full tear and it was from the bottom.  When the doctor went in he found two tears that he fixed.  The eye looks good and the tear is healing, however, the pressure is high, TOO high and this could affect his eyesight.

    We came for post-op Wed. and then back today for high pressure on his eye.  Dr. Paul Kaufman of the Thomas Eye Group has done a great job monitoring his condition.  I watched him stick a needle in today and drain some fluid/gas off the eye so the pressure would decrease.  We come back tomorrow... to see if all the drops, pills, and depressuring has worked.  Prayers,  it is all in God's hands!

Thanks to all my friends who have helped with meals, money, and watching my kids & most importantly praying!!  Thank you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIANNA!

     We have been so blessed by the gift God gave us in Gianna.  She is such a little princess in our home, but what else would you expect from a girl with 6 older brothers!  She has her tough side as well and she knows how to wrap those boys around her finger.  Christina loves her little sister that she chooses to share a bed with and reads her books at night.  They are so close!  I love watching them interact with each other.  

      May God continue to lead her and keep her close!  We LOVE you Gianna!  Happy 2nd Birthday!
