The Red Thread

Once our eyes have been opened we can't pretend that
we don't know what to do; for God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls
knows that we know and holds us responsible to act. Proverbs 24:12

Another Day, Another Surgery

Iris had her second eye surgery this morning and did really well all things considered.   They didn't take her back for surgery until 10am so she was not happy about having nothing to eat. 

She doesn't like having the patch on her "good" eye so she tries to pull it off a lot.  It is really sad to watch her walk around.  She walks with her little hand out in front of her and steps very cautiously with her foot.  Iris is anything but cautious!

After sleeping it off she is back to her old happy self.   Enjoy this video, see how Iris bounces back.  


Iris is scheduled to have this patch removed tomorrow morning.  We are hoping for great improvement in her "good" eye when the patch is removed.  The other eye is very limited and we pray for improvement in the coming days and weeks.  The doctor will start a "patching" routine to force Iris to use this eye.  Iris is an amazing little girl  and we are so happy that God placed her in our family.

    Hi Melissa,
    I am so glad Iris did so well! I was thinking about all of you today! I am so happy you posted an update. The video is so cute! Iris and Parker are so much like one another. No wonder they loved playing together in China!!!
