Short update

Greetings to all,

Not a lot of news, yet lots going on... hard to explain.  First and foremost, we have been really blessed by the time we have had with our kids.  Drawing closer to them than ever and really happy to be with them.

Had my first dental appointment and in the process of getting that cared for.  But the biggest thing now is Don and his surgeries.  Had his first appointment with the surgeon.  We really, really like Dr. Tam.  Very good man.  He checked Don out and asked if he had had a detached retina before.  He hasn't had any problem with that.  Dr. told him he was in a dangerous area for that.  And with being in Haiti, he was concerned Don may end up with one, and getting help would be difficult.  So... he did some "welding" on Don's eyes.  He used a laser and put a "wall" around Don's corneas.  He did lots of these "welds" on both eyes. There were 614 on one eye and 551 on the other eye.  This should help Don to NOT have problems with detached retinas.  Now we are waiting on dates for his physical and the two surgeries.  The only problem we are facing with this is that the doctor said he does not want Don to return to Haiti until July.  We had arrangements for return on June 11th.  There is a lot of technicalities that we have to work out for this change.  Please keep it all in prayer.  It is really an urgent prayer request.  

Little Savanah is in excellent care right now, but two of the main 3 care givers (Bud and Jane....Sammy's care givers) are leaving Haiti for appointments on June 13th.  Having the two babies 24/7 will just be too much for Vero to deal with, so we are praying God will step in and help us find who He wants to help out with Savanah.  We sure do miss that little girl.  She has really taken a piece of our hearts.  

Thought I'd share a couple of pictures Don and our son, Dale, took yesterday.  Right here in our back yard and on the lake.  It's so neat for Don to be able to rest just a bit and enjoy God's creation.

 

 Canadian geese and ducks in our yard (and on the water it touches)... isn't that neat?  I hope you are enjoying your life with the Lord and also enjoying His creation.  All you have to do is to look around and you can see what the Lord has done.  God is not only GOOD, God is totally AWESOME!!!!

Until next time, blessings and keep your focus on Jesus and what He is doing in your life!!
