We've just returned from seeing the pediatric opthomologist with Will. We have been using steriod eye drops in order to treat Will's hemangioma. The doctor is pleased that the drops have kept the hemangioma from growing over the last week, but she would like to see the hemangioma decrease in size. We will begin using the drops more frequently each day over the next two weeks. We will return for another check up in two weeks unless it grows despite the drops. My sense was that if the drops will reduce the size of the hemangioma, we will not need to have the little surgery; however, if it grows or stays this size, I think we may need to do the surgery. We will see. I will keep you posted on things. Our next appt is March 3. Please PRAY that the drops will continue to work and that the size of the hemangioma will DECREASE.
Also, in previous posts, we have asked for prayer for our friends Mary Elizabeth and Meade Stone who had identical twin boys almost 4 weeks ago and have been having seizures and problems since. Warren died last week, and John is not doing well. Please do pray for Jesus to RESTORE and HEAL John's body. Check their Caring Bridge Site for updates on John. I know they are so grateful and eager for people to join them in prayer. A miracle is needed.
