Sorry that you have to put up with the sub again, but Amy's not quite ready to blog yet. Since we last communicated, Amy's visual prognosis has improved. When she saw the doc yesterday she was seeing many "spots" in her left eye. The doc believes these to be an accumulation of white blood cells, and they should be absorbed by her eye. We are thrilled that the areas of damage in her left eye are smaller than they were last Friday. Furthermore, her peripheral vision exams scored very high. "Neither good nor bad," the doc says, but these tests allow us to establish a baseline by which we can compare future vision tests. Although the doc was a bit blase about the results, we are nevertheless praising God because we know how badly Amy's eyes had been damaged.
At the moment, reading, writing, and various other tedious tasks are proving to be quite challenging. She is currently so weak (possibly a result of the Prednisone) that even small tasks are proving quite difficult. Still, she pushed herself to wash several loads of laundry and make beds today (which is more than I accomplish on a good day).
Thanks to all of the churches and individuals who are praying for Amy. Her good friend, Twila, has been impressed to be anointed for Amy next Sunday at 11:00 (central). If any of you care to watch (http://www.okcbfc.org/) or join in prayer at that time we would really appreciate your coming alongside. I realize that some will have scheduling limitations that preclude their praying at that specific time, but we are trusting God that "the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well" (James 5:15 NIV).
Finally, Amy's sister, Carole, will be leaving on Friday. We could NOT have made it without her and Mario these past two weeks, and Amy's a bit intimidated about the prospect of running her home without Carole. Yet God continues to meet all of our needs, and we are humbled by the many manifestations of the love that his people share with us. Just this morning a lady slid a $25 McDonald's gift card into my hand and recounted how she had just told her children that "they have no problems at all in comparison to Miss Amy." I could share at least 30 other similar stories of how people, many of whom I have not met, have tangibly communicated their love to us. God is good.
Blessed,
David

Thanking God for the good progress in the eyes. Will continue to pray for complete healing and that Amy will regain her strength. I just hope she doesn't overdue it too soon. It is hard as a wife and Mommy to sit still and watch others doing what you feel you should do. I have overdone it a time or two before my body was ready to take back over and then paid for it by a few more days of going backward. I hope she gets all her strength and pep back soon.
I am so thannkful that you all have such wonderful people surrounding you with so much love, help and thoughtfulness.
My heart and prayers are with you.
The one thing I know for sure is that God is awesome! He is who He says He is and will do what His Word says He will do. I will join with you in faith asking God for complete and total healing.
Much Love,
Cindi
