Jeremy sent an email today with the title, "Sleeping Beauty". Oh my, isn't Maddie gorgeous?!?!? She's almost eight weeks now and does she have some healthy "chub" going on! She's a thriving little girl.
They had a good appointment with her local ophthalmologist on Friday. They are confident that this doctor, working with the specialist at Jules Stein, makes the best team for Maddie. So we are waiting for January 31, unless a cancellation occurs and she can get in sooner. In the meantime they are doing what they can to open her eye to the light as much as possible.
For those who are interested, you can go to youtube.com and view a short video of the procedure that will open Maddie's eyelids. It's actually quite fascinating.

Jeremy sent this message of gratitude and he expressed it so well for all of us....
"We are so grateful for all the love and support we have received. We know that there are hundreds of people praying for Maddie. We are so blessed and loved. We strongly feel that the unified body of Christ that has been brought together is glorifying to Christ. We feel the love and support and feel at peace with what is being set before us and Madelyn. We know He and only He is in control and we relinquish everything to Him. We are humbled."
"Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness." --
Psalm 115:1
Psalm 115:1
Oh my, that was hard to watch. Poor sweetheart! Our hearts go out to all of you. We will pray often for her! We know God is in control and we are touched by Jeremy's words.
ReplyDeleteJust watched the video. It is hard to watch, but if it helps Maddie's development, then I guess it is necessary. I will definitely keep you all in my prayers.
