Tulsa – Surgery, not as expected
They canceled Yakelin’s right eye surgery yesterday. Instead of surgery, Yakelin and I went to the doctor’s office and he removed stitches from her left eye (surgery was 2 weeks ago). He intentionally poked around a little bit to see if the “scar” on her eye would hold. It did not. So today, in the surgical center, he examined her left eye and stitched it up again. He had planned on operating on her right eye this morning but postponed the surgery indefinitely because he is concerned about how the left eye has responded so far.
She slept a lot of the day due to the anesthesia they used in surgery this morning. While awake, she has been discouraged and tearful because of the possibility of not having her right eye operated on. Today has been emotionally and physically tough. She talked with her aunt in Nicaragua tonight. They are praying for her and assured her that God is in control.
We are staying at the Kolker’s house while Yakelin recovers.
