Hi, sorry it’s been a little over two week since the last update, but we’ve been waiting for this mornings appointment before we could bring you more news.
Sarah’s had a few complications in the last couple of weeks, so we’ve been back and forward to the hospital to try and narrow down whats causing them. Sarah’s cornea developed a scratch and an infection which was causing her a lot of pain and irritation. (understatement!) They first gave her more eye drops and said to come back in a couple of days.
We returned with more irritation, sleep depravation (the pain has been keeping Sarah awake) and Sarah’s eyesight had become very poor, Sarah said “it’s like trying to look through a frosted glass window”. Another doctor said that Sarah maybe allergic to the preservatives in the eye drops, and prescribed “preservative free” eye drops. We then had to wait 10 day’s before this mornings appointment.
The doctor said that he could see no sign of infection, and the scratch had healed and disappeared. Yay! But the reason that the eye is healing so slowly and continues to be very sensitive is the Diabetes. The nuropathy is slowing the healing, making the eye feel like it’s about to burst and maintaing the extremely itchy painful irritation that’s driving Sarah crazy, which, is making her really fed up. 😦
We have another appointment in two weeks time and i’ll keep you lovely friends updated. Sarah was really hoping to be back at work this week and is trying her best not to feel too inpatient!
We both thank you all so much for the love, kindness, prayers and support as you journey through this with us. Can’t thank you enough! 🙂

So sorry to hear about Sarahs suffering Steve…will continue to pray for you both Hugs from Ohio….
Steve, I’m so sorry to hear that Sarah’s pain continues…although it’s fantastic that the infection is gone. May the Lord give you both an abundance of grace for one another as you work through this together. Call on Him often…doesn’t take much – just breathe His name. He will strengthen you.
Abba, we ask, as your little children, that You would touch Sarah’s body and bring wholeness. Overwhelm both Steve and Sarah with Your love, and strengthen them in the power of Your might. In Jesus Name, Amen.
