We had a visit with our pediatric ophthalmologist yesterday that ended with some bad news: CJ may need another eye surgery withing the next two months :( Our doctor is awesome, and remained surprisingly calm and supportive when I told him that we are moving to Haiti to work with an orphanage. He is going to help us find a doctor to work with in Haiti that can continue monitor CJ's eyes, but we are meeting in three weeks to make a decision about the upcoming surgery. CJ has already had one surgery in 2009 and was diagnosed as legally blind in one eye at age 3. Due to a combination of patching, eye surgery, and prayer, CJ's eye has improved so much that he now has 20/50 vision in his poor eye (with glasses). I hope that his eyes continue to improve.
...thanks Dr. Spiegel!

Great news! CJ's vision has stabilized. He will not need surgery in the next few months. We have to continue with his eye patching and hope his vision begins improving again. Thanks for all your prayers!
