Update on Regina and plans

Thank you to all who prayed for our appointment last Friday. The doctor firmly insisted that she does NOT need surgery and to do surgery on her at this point would be very unwise. She is making good progress. Thank the Lord!

So we are continuing our plans to leave at the end of the month. So until I get back here to blog, I will be packing!

Plans and prayer request

We have finally purchased our tickets to return to the D.R. at the end of this month! So we are beginning to pack up our stuff and prepare for our return.

Regina has had a relapse of her lazy eye. She is visiting a specialist here who wanted to do surgery on her before we go back.

It is a long story, but we are in the middle of 2 different opinions from 2 doctors concerning Regina's eye. One doctor said she did NOT need surgery and gave us the go ahead to return to the D.R. Another insisted that her lazy eye will not be corrected without surgery. We had already purchased our tickets when we got the last doctor's opinion saying she should have surgery. We have been trying to decide what to do - what is best for Regina, what God wants etc. No clear answer has come.

Regina has an eye appointment this Friday and we are hoping that her eye will either have improved or gotten worse. If it has improved, we will plan to return as scheduled. If it has gotten worse, we may reconsider surgery and change our tickets.

Would you help us pray that God would have His way and make His will clear to us? We are very anxious to return to our field of labor, yet want what is best for Regina. We have been praying for the Lord to heal Regina, and if He would choose to, we think now would be a good time! *Smile* Seriously, the Lord IS able to heal her, and maybe this is what He has in mind! We want whatever His will would be.

Especially pray for the appointment this Friday - that somehow from it we would have clear direction as to what to do.

Thanks for your prayers and care.
