I sent this as an email to my family and some close friends here. Then I realized that I also have some Xanga friends who would care and be praying with us. Thanks for being a friend and thanks in advance for your prayers. I am hoping to post good news in a couple of weeks!
Yesterday I went to an optomologist, not the kind that
just figures out glasses, but the doctor that peers into the back of yoiur eye
and looks at nerves and blood vessels. A strange series of events got me
there. It started several months ago.I woke up one night and looked at the alarm clock. Our
alarm clock has BIG numbers. Somehow I saw it through only my right eye. The
numbers were small. I woke up more and tested seeing it through my left eye,
then my right eye. They were distinctly smaller with my right eye. I thought
it was very strange and I’ve tested it with other things. Always my right eye
saw things differently.So at school a week or so ago, I noticed that the lines
moved in my grade book. If I closed my right eye it was OK. I also noticed the
miniblinds in our room had a pinch with my right eye. Then Saturday going
through Reader’s Digest, I saw a medical advertisement that showed macular
degeneration. It was exactly what was happening. I was horrified. Nick and I
talked about it, and the next day he got me an appointment for as soon as
possible. I didn’t want to talk about it. It was too scary.At the appointment I was told that it was not macular
degeneration, but there was an unknown swelling in the back of my eye. She said
it someitmes just disappears on its own, but this didn’t look exactly like the
usual kind. So in two weeks I am going to see a retina specialist to have it
checked again. I guess we will see what happens next. I would appreciate your
prayers for healing. Mysterious eye problems are definitely not exciting!!
I am determined not to be afraid, but just wait for the
outcome. Of course, I am praying that it will be gone by the
appointment time. Thanks so much for praying with me!!

Praying right now for a good report & peace in the waiting!
I am here for you, dear one. You have my prayers added to yours and others.
You’ll definitely be in my prayers, my friend! Hopefully this thing will “go away on its own”. If not, thank God your doctors have the technology today to do something about it. While we’re praying for your right eye, we’ll pray for extra strength for your left eye, too. Can’t hurt, can it?! ; )
I’ll be praying!
