No Eye Surgery!

Yippeeee, the Corneal Specialist I saw today sees no reason to do another surgery at this time!!! There is so minimal, inactive regrowth that there won't even be a reason to continue steroid eye drops. Happy Birthday to ME!

Also, big news today, Joy passed her summer math class. She is now ready for 8TH GRADE MATH, but she's only going into 5th grade.

Camp and Travels

Joy enjoyed her Church Camp experience, and I survived five nights not knowing how she was doing. She seems no worse for the wear.

We had back-to-back trips, so I was very stressed out making sure she had every medication and piece of medical equipment she needed. We camped with our Life Group Friday through Sunday, then dropped Joy off at camp Sunday afternoon. We then picked her up Friday morning and headed for Sedona, Arizona, where we are now. We have been hiking, swimming, and reconnecting as a family for a week. Joy and Chuck went mountain biking as well. This is a picture of our rock-climber, Joy. She seems to have no fear this year, which really caused her parents to fear her getting close to the edge of any overlook.

We're heading back home soon -- back to the Phoenix heat! I will have a couple appointments with Ophthalmic surgeons the week we return. My left eye is unable to be corrected with glasses again. It's possible they may suggest another surgery. My left eye had the same surgery twice before: Pterygium removal. My right eye needed only one surgery. Needless to say, I'm more than discouraged. Your prayers are coveted!
