Surgery 01-26-2009

Hello-
Stacey is having her 33rd surgery on Monday the 26Th. It's to realign the muscles in her right eye. I thought that a procedure like this was cosmetic but apparently not. They need to do it now because her eye is pretty lazy and we've tried patching and she will pull off the patch she doesn't care how much it might hurt and the atropine drops worked for a little while but we don't want to damage her left eye in the process. It's also a good thing for her to be doing this because she has her power chair now and drives all over town with that thing and if she is not able to see well then she's not able to drive well and that could become a scary situation. I am nervous about this surgery because of her going into respiratory distress a few days after the last EUA (exam under anesthesia) to determine if she needed this realignment surgery. A few of her doctors have expressed their wishes to have her stay a minimum of 1 night in the hospital to monitor her. I will let you all know as soon as possible what the outcome of the surgery is.
Stacey's surgery is scheduled for 2:50pm Pacific time. If you could please pray for her we would be especially grateful. I know God has her in his hands and He has always meticulously guided her doctors hands before. I am reminded daily that He has entrusted me with her care and I thank Him daily for trusting me and I in turn trusting Him. Have a blessed day and we'll talk to you soon.

God Bless,
Cherice, Stacey and Sunny
