Prayers please

Blog world friends: I sent this out earlier tonight by email and now I send it out to you:

Hello all:
This is to ask for prayers for my 16 year old son Caleb who is having serious retinal surgery tomorrow. He has a severely detached retina (left eye) that will try to be repaired. He has already lost most of his vision in that eye, and we are not being promised any change in that, but in order for the eye to not further deterioriate or physically “shrivel” as the doctor said today, Caleb needs for this to be given a try. You can find out more about the procedure at http://www.webmd.com/eye-health/scleral-buckling-surgery-for-retinal-detachment if you want. However, because his retina is so scarred already, our doctor warned us that another surgery may be required, which involves a more extensive surgery and recovery.

Caleb’s spirit, as usual, is very good. He has his mind around all this pretty well, and has been living with the vision difficulty for so long, without realizing how bad it is that he is adjusted to having sight in one eye. He does have a couple of weak areas on his right retina too, but these are not serious and he will have them lasered tomorrow while under the general anesthetic.

I have asked Hubert Neth to come by to be with us during surgery---emails of course are welcomed. We are asking for prayer.
