“Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly – Mark 8:25”
Well this has started off to be a Friday Morning of good news! Mike called this AM from his Eye Doctor appointment at MD, and his vision has been restored to 20/20 vision!
Along this journey, complications arose prior to Mike having Full Brain radiation and a tumor had developed on his Optic Nerve, and at one time the Doctors told us that Mike may lose his vision completely in his right eye. For Mike this was terrifying as it would be to anyone. He has always had great vision and the line of work he is in; he depends a lot on his eyes. Also we cannot forget the fact of possibly losing the ability to scope out that deer or hog ;)
Once Full Brain radiation was administered, it still was not 100% sure that the vision would be restored. He was very fortunate the tumor laid upon an area of the optic nerve that was acceptable to the radiation without damaging the eyes themselves from the actual radiation. We stayed hopeful. Many visits to the Ophthalmologist (and on a side note, Mike was sent to one of the, if not the TOP ophthalmologist at MD) GOD has been so good in placing us in the hands of the most skilled Doctors on this journey. Thanks to Maggie, she researches these facts.
With each visit, things did look up but we had not had any full confirmation until today that it has been restored back to 20/20! Now if I am missing anything, my apologies…I only spoke to Mike for a second and he gave me the most important information – I will keep all posted on future visits pertaining to the eyes, to ensure they stay in tip top condition.
Wow! Again, GOD has showed us this morning that he continues to work daily in our lives. Though it may not always seem to be on our time and at our speed, just when you least expect (and as I have said, with Cancer, I am learning to expect nothing and ready for anything!) GOD shines down and lays his healing hands upon us! As I always say, this journey is far from over, but daily, GOD ensures me to stay focused, stay strong, be courageous and TRUST in him completely – for I have given it all to him – He is pretty good at what he does ;)
I wish you all a Fabulous Friday – Here in Houston, we are Sunny and a Crisp Chill in the air! Hoping this last for a little while and Excited to feel this weather is like the entry way into the Holiday Season!
In closing, as always THANK YOU ALL for continued prayers, thoughts and spirits sent our way! They ARE working daily and being felt throughout!!
