Memorial Day

After a month filled with surgeries and doctors appointments.

We feel so blessed and thankful.

For eyes that see and are healing.
















that we're DONE with eye drops!



 For family that lives close by to help




For moments to just be together





For watermelon.







Surgery Updates:
Kyler is doing great!  Stitches are out and his incisions are healing nicely.  He was able to come off eyedrops completely for now and we go back in a month to make sure his pressures are stable off meds.  Praising God for a break from those meds we've been doing twice a day since he was 4 months old.

Conor's eye is healing well from the micro-shunt they put in.  We're praising the Lord the doctor was able to get it in at all so the fact that it's doing so well is huge!  The pressure in his eye is way too low still(it's at a 2), which is just a side effect of the new shunt and it should level out  BUT until it does, he's not allowed to bend over or lean forward at all or lift anything over 10 pounds...which means no lifting kids.  Ha! Also low pressure makes your vision pretty blurry so he's not able to drive (obviously) until it clears.  He's taking it easy and since he can't work on the pools right now, we're enjoying having him around an extra 30 hours a week or so. 

We're also taking a trip to Houston once a week for his follow-ups right now and we're SO glad to have Nana & Papa and Gram & Pappy around to love on the kids while we're out of town.


Specifically, if you could pray his pressure safely increases over the next week or so.  We'd like to see it be at least a 6 by next Friday!  And if you could pray for extra stamina and discipline for me over the next couple weeks, I'd sure appreciate it.


Thankful we're not walking this road alone!
