Lissie Surgery Update

Today Lissie was supposed to go in for her second eye surgery.  Our plans were changed though when last night around 5pm we got an urgent message from her doctor.  You know its serious when the doctor calls you directly and then leaves her personal cell number so you can call her back immediately.  They also called my mom as she's listed as our in case of emergency contact!  Anyhow, when we got ahold of one another, Dr. R. informed me that she had been in a meeting with all of her colleagues that afternoon and had presented Lissie's case as it is not going as she expected.  She received input from several other doctors who had similar cases that it would be best to postpone the surgery and try a different approach first.  The new approach consists of dilating Lissie's eyes again for two weeks and then putting her in a stronger eye glasses prescription.  This should force the eyes to straighten more and by doing that Dr. R. won't over correct Lissie's eye position surgically.  I truly feel like this was an answer to prayer as I have been very concerned that Lissie would have to have multiple surgeries and while I'm thrilled that we don't have to put Lissie through another surgery right now and am very grateful that Dr. R. was concerned enough to share Lissie's case with a panel of many other doctors, I really feel like we're taking steps backwards.  I will continue to pray for God's will and guidance in our lives regarding my precious baby and praise Him greatly for what He has already done for her.
