Eye Operation

A quick note to say that Everett's eye operation went well. Thank you for the prayers.  I am exhausted but I thought I would post a couple photos of the day and just say I am feeling really blessed in the way God carried us through this time. Everett was very brave and did not cry at all.  I did tear up after he was under the anesthetic and out of the room. It was difficult to watch him just go limp and then to have to walk out of the room.  But he bounced back after surgery and was able to go home in the afternoon.  Please continue to pray that the eye heals perfectly and doesn't need another operation.  

 Just arrived at the hospital

The boys were having fun today playing with some broken 3D glasses. Clark Kent in the making!  

Hospital Take Two

Our little Elliot was back in the hospital this past weekend this time with an infection in his knee.  He apparently had been bit by a small insect and somehow scratched it causing a terrible infection which gave him a sore wound and a high fever.  We were sent once again to Bath hospital where he was given an IV of strong antibiotics.  Poor baby really did not like seeing the nurses at all.  He and Erin spent two nights in the hospital and have been released today.  Please be praying for him to continue to respond to the antibiotics as he is now on an oral form different from the one he had been on in the hospital.  We are thankful that he is feeling better and that our family is back home together.

Prayer Update

Thank you to those that were praying for our little man's eye appointment.  We are pleased in that we were given the same diagnosis as before.  We are now praying for a highly competent surgeon who pushes for the surgery as soon as possible as well as a successful surgery that  corrects his eye functioning.  

Eye Appoinment

Please pray for our sweet Everett as he will have his eyes checked out next week.  At this point I have no idea how to pray except for our little boy to be able to have normal eye functioning.  Thank you.   One a similar note, here are a couple photos of our trip to Bath the other day....it was meant to be a doctor's appointment for our littlest, but turned out to be a trip that was unnecessary due to doctors not knowing protocol on PKU tests (thankfully it was one we had already done before we arrived here). So instead we took a detour home and made a drive by of some local hot spots.

 Very famous Bath Architectural Building (not sure the name because we just drove by really quick to see it)

 

Once a Manor/Vacation home...now a nursing home...yes it is OK to leave me here to enjoy the end of my life.  

 View from the nursing home...see what I mean..I could sit and enjoy God's beauty all day here.  Plus it was absolutely quiet and peaceful!  AHH Bliss.  

 Private fishing stream.  

 Everett wanted to make sure we took a picture of the cows.  So we made a special stop for our animal lover.
