Well, we only had to wait two hours this time...I guess that's better?
Overall, it was a decent appointment. Jameson's eye is in remission! This was the best case scenario that we had prayed for, so praise God! We finally got to talk a little more about the surgery, which will be set for the very end of May or early June. So many of you have been praying with us for this needed remission and we really appreciate it. For those of you who might potentially get super excited (like we used to) and link this current remission with a guaranteed surgery date, we must invite you to hop on to the uveitis roller coaster and join the ride. Three months of remission is needed for surgery. We've made it to two months and three weeks before--all ending with a flare up that last week and erasing the plan for surgery. So, baby steps! We say one day, one week, one month at a time. We'll celebrate after the surgery is completed. :)
He did have a significant decrease in vision (the most we've ever seen), so it was a sobering reminder that the cataract is in there and showing it's presence. It needs to come out!
We are thankful for a good report, thankful for remission. But even more thankful that we don't have to expend energy worrying about future surgery plans and if this remission will sustain until June. God is writing the pages of Jameson's life, ideal or not so ideal, and we're beyond blessed to live this with him!
"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." (Matthew 6:34)
"But for now, ask yourself what it is that God might be trying to teach you or free you from, even in the experience of your fears. The trials that you face are not the result of God's powerlessness; they're a sign of His loving care."
