Wonder of Wonders, Miracles of Miracles....

Today we experienced a miracle of miracles... 

I took Kevin for his post op check up this morning.  If you are thinking this is very soon after his surgery, you would be right.  He had his surgery only 22 hours before this appointment.

Relaxing, while sitting up!!

Once we were back in the examination room, they removed his eye patch and worked on cleaning up the outer rim of his eye since it was stuck closed. It took him quite a while to actually open his eye. 

Once he worked it open, they wanted him to see what he could see through it. Unfortunately, the strain of opening his eye and then trying to see, caused him to become very dizzy and nauseated. They quickly tipped him back in the chair, put a cool cloth on his forehead and took his blood pressure/pulse.  (Just so you can appreciate what I go through as his wife at times, his pulse was 47 bpm.  Yep!  That's actually almost normal for Kevin.  It's usually right around 52 bpm.  There are times when I have my head on his chest at night and I actually will his heart to beat again ;)

When his stomach had settled, they made him drink a sugary fruit pouch drink. Fifteen minutes later he was doing much better. 

Dr. Pezda came in and took a closer look at his eye and shared with us the miracle: Kevin's right retina is already 99% reattached!! He can sit upright during the day and lay on his left side at night instead of on his left side 24/7 for 6 more days.  Considering the gigantic knot in his left shoulder, he is pumped to give it a break by staying off it during the day.  

This news has us shaking our heads in awe!  We serve a great and mighty God!  Thanks for all your prayers!  They are working!!
