Back to DeVos

Back to DeVos Children's Hospital for one last little surgery.

Mical's eyes don't work together which causes her several vision problems.

Thankfully, her eye specialist is going to improve things greatly for her on Aug. 18!

While she is very happy with her tummy and the ways the other Dr. helped, she is not trilled with the "methods" needed to produce these helpful outcomes....like, umm, the word "surgery" or "shot".

Going to the hospital hasn't happened in several months.

She's a trooper. There is no doubt in my mind that she'll handle it great.

Usually I dread things more for my kids than they probably ever do themselves. I remember the dread I was filled with over taking away the pacifier from my toddlers!

So, prayers that the surgeon's hands be guided by the Lord so she can have the best possible outcome.

Okay, and I'm going to share a cool story about how the Lord just keeps showing off through Mical's medical journey...

When we got the pictures of Mical and Moses, I mentioned to a friend how I thought from the photo that maybe her eyes weren't quite focusing correctly. This friend told me about the Dr. who worked with her from the time she was young. She also informed me how difficult it is to get an appointment with him! At her next appt., she and her grandma told him about our family's adoption and how our daughter might have vision problems. He told them he'd see us when we got Mical home. I didn't think much about it at the time because I didn't even know if her eyes had problems at all. Long story short, he's the Dr. doing her surgery. God had the Doctors lined up for her before we even knew what she was going to need. He completely guided us to the surgeon for her bowels...maybe a story for another day =)
