Update on Amy's Eye ~~ Dr. Appt. 08-20-07

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. ~~Matthew 6:22

Amy went to her eye doctor on Monday afternoon. He said her eye is looking better, and her vision was good at 20/30. She reminded me that the vision test is done in a dimly lit room and allowed as to how the room got "cloudy" looking when they turned off the lights~~ due to her pupil being stuck and not allowing in more light in dimly-lit situations. She said she definitely sees better in a normal light. At her next appointment, hopefully she will be stabilized enough to be able to get a new prescription for her glasses. She has mostly worn contacts since age 13 and her current glasses Rx is probably 10 years old. Correct lens will probably work wonders!!

She doesn't go back to the ophthalmologist for another month, but the doctor wants her to stay on the same regimen of medications in her eye. She will be seen on a regular basis (probably every 4 months) so they can be sure her eye is staying healthy. (He told her previously that every time you have a bout of the iritis (Eye-rye-tis), the eye is weakened. I suspect that her eye cannot take another bout of what she has had this summer.) I surely do thank you for your prayer support during Amy's eye illness this summer. God was so very gracious and answered a lot of prayers!
Giving Him the Glory, ~~Susan
