Today was another eventful day for Andrea. Around noon my Mom snuck Zeus (her dog) into her room with the nurse and she got to pet him for a couple of minutes. It was good at first but then she started to cry and get upset. She was afraid that he didn't recognize her and upset that she couldn't see him. I am so surprised that Zeus didn't bark at all in the room, but I really think that he sensed that Andrea was sick and that he should behave. All he did was lick her hands and sit on her lap.
The eye doctor came this afternoon and she is scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning. The doctor said that the procedure will probably be more serious than expected, but we are still very optimistic. They will do one eye tomorrow and see what the effect is. If successful they will do the other eye sometime next week. We really need to pray hard tonight and tomorrow morning that all goes well and her vision is restored.
Her walking continues to improve and she gets stronger everyday. Today she walked further than yesterday and without as much support. She also took another shower today. Keep praying and our Lord will get her through this terrible ordeal. Keep the faith and God Bless.

Your eyesight tops my prayer list today! I hope you understand how much the faith and determination you demonstrate reaches others and has encouraged them in their daily lives. In your great trials you have remained a role model to others to press on. Keep up the fight, sweet girl…you can take the next thing that comes along!!!! I love you.

Andrea,
I am so proud of you. Quita in the Phoenix office wanted me to let you know that she can so relate to the first shower. Keep up the good work- walking is a great way for the nurses and doctors to read your progress.
You are in my prayers & know with God's help you will continue to improve.
You will be home with Jay & Zeus before you know it.
Love you,
