Five things

Cam had an examination under anaesthetic yesterday. The pressure in his eyes is still ok, and stable. His contact lens prescriptions have changed a little, and Murray has plans to give him distance vision contacts and little bifocals for near vision.

Today I’m saying thank you for:

1. Chocolate;

2. The perspective that Jesus brings;  

3. Cam coming through another anaesthetic procedure (we’ve lost count but think this was about his fifteenth or sixteenth);

4. Scott being so unbelievably settled within himself – so comfortable in his own little skin – and so forgiving of the hours and hours he was away from me yesterday;

5. The way God places Murray in time and space – the way he uses Murray’s skills and insight and gracious manner. Jacobus (Cam’s ophthalmologist – Dr Pauw) called Murray into theatre again after they came out of Cam’s EUA, to check another little tot, from Mozambique. Murray saw her parents this morning at the practice, to fit her with new frames because they can’t get the right ones in Mozambique.

So we don't look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. – 2 Corinthians 4:18

A long wait at the Pretoria Eye Institute… Cam built a fort.
