Mark’s Second Surgery today….
Mark is going in for his other eye today. He saw the EYE DOCTOR yesterday and it looks like the surgery he did to correct the over- correct worked! His PRK eye is now seeing distance at 20-25! But his other eye needs to be adjusted too because it was over corrected as well and that one was done for close up vision which he hasnt had for a year and a half! He has been able to adjust his diopter on his camera to get his jobs done but things like driving at night and reading have been truly disheartening. So today he will have the other eye done and within a month or so he will have the vision he has wanted for so long. Just in time for this years wedding season! Hoorah!!!
We are so excited!

Jayden Michael
Dave and Kelly and Jayden are home and glad to be away from the hustle and bustle of a busy hospital and all the loud night time noises. Being in your own comnfortable bed is just the best! The picture of Dave sleeping in that little couch in the slideshow is just comical. But the poor guy did it all 3 nights they were there. He never left Kelly’s side to sleep at home. Before they left the hospital Jayden had to have a lavage to clean out the amniotic fluid in his lungs. Then he had to have his circumcision. Kelly cried when they took him. He is so little and to think of all that entailed it just made her cry…but he came back sleeping peacefully and she was able to nurse him before he slept all day!
I am now looking at my poor house after being gone most of those 3 days. I’ll take Mark for his surgery at 1:15 then he will be home and in bed for the rest of the afternoon. I will be able to pick up the house and get some things done.

So during our week in Vegas I dont know how much I will be updating this unless we can find WIFI somewhere but honestly it is a PACKED week of events and speakers.
Gonna call Kelly and see how Jayden made it through his first night home.

When I click on your site, I was surprised to see a picture of Mark,
but I see you managed to sneak in a photo of Jayden too:wink:
May the Lord grant Mark a successful surgury
and the eyesight he needs to bless others with his photography.
In Jesus’ name Amen

….”Kelli cried”…..
I laugh now, but back then it was NOT funny. I was just so scared I wouldn’t be a good enough Mom. I will be praying for the sweet new parents… and for Mark today!!
Awe bless her heart! I did the same thing with my first born, anytime she had to have anything done. I was so protective and worried…. (and I was so ignorant about new-borns.) I remember I cried when mine got cradle cap and those little “baby pimples”, or if she had trouble nursing etc… I kept thinking I must be doing something wrong!
Love, Bee
Wishing everything is going well with your eyes. Hopefully Mark, this will be your last venture with your eyes. Just in time for wedding season! I hope you are doing well!
