Bobbie had her surgery on October 2nd and is still recovering at home. She returns to the doctor on 10/17/08 for another post-op visit. Please continue to pray for her that she will have a complete recovery and no issues arising during her recovery time. She is hoping to go back to work on Monday.

Chad's mom is having a 2nd EYE surgery – right now it’s scheduled for Friday Oct 3rd – but may be moved up! It is a really SERIOUS and dangerous surgery. We will find out more details in the next 2 weeks. It will be outpatient here at NEMC. She has a chance of losing her vision in this eye because of the complexity of the surgery, and even having a stroke or heart attack due to a special injection she needs to help with the surgery…. So she’s really down and not up to doing this, but has to do it to have any chance of keeping what eyesight she has left in this eye. The doctor told her yesterday that the other eye is stable, so at least that’s good for now. She is supposed to be out of work for a week (minimum) but the recovery time is at least 3 months and she’ll be restricted to certain things during the recovery.

About 2 yrs ago, she had the first surgery that was laser but they had to put a gas bubble in her eye that took MONTHS to dissolve where she could see again and it was really painful - both surgery and recovery. This 2nd surgery will be more invasive and detailed as they’ll have to go in and scrap the entire back of her eye and she’s not sure if they’ll be doing the laser this time again or using another method. Her blood vessels have already started growing where they shouldn’t be and they can’t reverse that part. This is all from her Diabetes and won’t ever get any better!

Please lift her in constant prayers in the coming weeks and during her surgery/recovery and that God will heal her completely and keep her spirits lifted during this time as well. She is so looking forward to my baby shower and her new granddaughter that maybe she can stay occupied and focus on her future!!!

Love and thanks,
Helena & Chad NeCaise
