Has your doctor ever....

asked if a lot of people were praying for your baby? (but, wow there could be some really funny 'has your doctor ever' guesses out there)

Because Dr. R asked me that on Tuesday and I was able to respond with a "oh yeah, lots."

Why did he ask that, you may wonder. He asked because Gabe's eye was perfect; Gabe's right eye is completely centered and healed wonderfully! Dr. R. actually said he had chills from seeing how good Gabe's eye look!

Gabe's eye surgery, since his problem stemmed from his 3rd cranial nerve and is not the common 'lazy eye' problem Dr. R fixes routinely, he was a little nervous about how it would turn out. Nervousness was obviously not needed as Gabe's eye looks great!!!!!

The only 'bad' thing about his eye surgery is that correcting the eye did not have the result of correcting his eye lid that we were hoping for. So, another surgery to lift his eye lid will probably be on the calander after his appointment in 2 months, but we'll deal with that when we come to it.

Speaking of the calender; the 2 months we have away from the eye doctor is the LONGEST amount of time Gabe has ever had between eye doctor appointments! Starting at the opthomalogist at 15 days old and then going every 4 - 6 weeks, 2 months is going to be great!!

God Bless!

And please don't forget to keep praying for Chrissie and all of the Patterson's.

That is fantastic! Gives me chills, too! :-) And we are most certainly keeping Chrissie and family in prayer. Thank you for letting us know about them.
