Jennie and Miriam are once again in Iowa City

They met with the Doctor today and a retina specialist that will be on had tomorrow during Miriam's surgery to perform a retina transplant if needed.

This weekend (while they where home) Miriam was in good spirits when ever her medicine was working. She tired quickly and when the medicine wares off she gets a BAD headache from the swelling of the eye.

The hardest part is that she has to have 3 different drops (one cost $100 a bottle!) every 12 hours and she absolutely does not like having them put in.

Depending on how the surgery goes tomorrow we are expecting them back home no later than Thursday evening. However, if a retina transplant is needed it will have to be done in two parts which means they may need to be there a week longer.

Jennies parents will be here on Wednesday to help out (thank God) and I have returned to work utilizing babysitters for Noah during the day until the In-Laws arrive.

Our specific prayer is that all goes well tomorrow and no major surgeries are needed. Pray that her retina and cornea are undamaged and in working order.
