Surgery and In-n-Out

Surgery was a success; Dr. Lee said it went as expected.  He had to fast since dinner last night so we stopped at In-n-Out on the way home.  He's now napping off the anesthesia.

He has a post-op appointment tomorrow morning, but afterwards he'll be free to resume his regular activities, minus swimming and weightlifting.  Our plans for an afternoon of playing with the grandkids.

Thanks for praying for him; please continue to pray for his recovery and the surgery on his right eye which will be next Tuesday, March 7.

Time in California

Over the past several months, Stephen has been progressively having more difficulty with his vision, including double vision, blurriness and seeing halos around lights, especially at night.  He would ask me, "how many tail lights does that car have?"  My answer would be two or four, depending and he would then tell me he saw 12 to 16.  So, we decided to take advantage of the time between Judgment House and our March campaign to come to California to get his eyes examined.

The results of the exam with the opthamologist and the retinologist are that he has cataracts and they need to be removed.  He will be having surgery on his left eye next Tuesday, February 28; the date for surgery on the right eye has not been confirmed, but will probably be Tuesday, March 7.  

This will be his very first surgery (except for oral surgery for wisdom teeth removal) so, as you can imagine, he's a bit nervous about it all.  Please pray for a good result and a quick recovery.  We are scheduled to fly back to El Salvador on March 15.
