CATARACT SURGERY (Right Eye)

**Everything we do, including the seeking of medical services, is a test of faith and should be accompanied with prayer. Yesterday Betty had cateract surgery in the hope and reasonable expectation that a new synthetic lens would improve her vision. We appreciated that her surgeon took a moment to pray with her moments before weilding his tools. The thoughtfulness had an immediate visable effect as Betty physically calmed and her tremor was no longer apparent to me.

**Today we returned for the check-up and all the carefully planned future appointments for doing the left eye next week were scrapped to allow some additional time for her right eye to heal further. We we told yesterday that the procedure had been "difficult", and today we gleaned a few more details as to why it did not go perfectly. The doctor(s) still expects that with a little time everything will be turn out all right. Alternatively, remedial hospital based surgery has been mentioned - twice. The next check-up will be the morning of May 2nd.

**Will you add your prayers to ours that no further intervention will be required and that Betty's eye will mend properly with God's help. Ask that the newly implanted lens will provide clear vision and make reading possible without that huge magnifying she has had to use lately.
