Update 6

On Tuesday the the procedure appeared to go well. Dr. Grice was please with the position of the implant, but I began to have pain which was caused by and increase in eye pressure. For the implant to take I need the pressure to push it against my cornea. In fact, the implant had begun to work. I went home expecting my vision to clear up. My experience with this eye has been similar to my right eye in that I had to have both eyes re-floated. But, the complications have differed.
The implant in my right eye wanted to float and get out of position. In the left eye the implant has not moved. It is in the right position, and the implant has begun to attach. But for some reason it does not want to completely graft. Dr. Grice believes it will, and she tells me to be patience.
It is Sunday afternoon and I have experienced an odd discomfort so I asked Doug to take care of the evening service. I am so grateful to have both Doug and John to call on while I continue to recover. They both are dedicated men who simply seek to serve our Lord.
Due to the uncertainty of my eye I feel it is best to cancel the ABI class on Tuesday Night. I sure trust that this will be the last class we will need to put on hold. May God richly bless you and yours.

Pastor, Jesus receives a prayer for your eye every morning as I choose to take communion for the sins and sicknesses that He bore upon the cross. He desires the best for you. Enjoy His comfort.

Dear Pastor,
I am happy to hear of the success of your surgery and will be praying for a full recovery. I miss Grand Strand terribly, however, I could not afford to stay there any longer. It was a hard decision to make and it is still hard to live here in my home because in a month I've only gotten to work 63hr for minium wage, but I trust that God will take care of all of us. I hope to see you at the Jubilee by the Sea if I can scrape up enough to get down there. You have my prayers.
