Lazy Saturday at Home

Good morning everyone,

We are home once again and so glad to be here. Home is such a wonderful place to be no matter how big or small. And we are so grateful to be back.

John's eye is much improved but still sewn shut. The abrasion began at 4.5 x 2 millimeters and is now down to 1 x 1. We have to return to Chicago again for an appointment on Wednesday and then again the next week we think. I think John wants to continue with Dr. Yoo if we can at all because he knows he's in good hands. He is eventually going to have to have a gold weight put in his eyelid, but Dr. Yoo said that it can be taken out again if the eye improves dramatically. No one has ever told him the procedure could be reversed; he has always been led to believe it is permanent. We go back next week to see Dr. Lin who is the corneal specialist; Dr. Yoo is the ocularplastics specialist. They are so proactive at Loyola, very caring and know John's history which are all reasons why he would like to continue with them. There may be a time when we have to go someplace else, but I think if we can at all, we will continue with them.


Well, that's today's update. We again feel so blessed to be back home safely with family and friends. We are so looking forward to the Christmas program at church tomorrow night. John loves going to church and visiting with everyone. God has been so good to us. We hope that somehow we are as much a blessing to you as you all have been to us. We are so thankful for all of you and so grateful for all God has done and continues to do in our lives.

Love,

John and Cathy
