June 10, 2010

Today was like running a marathon for us. Bob went back to work for awhile. He went to the lab in LS to check his blood INR. He went to the opthmologist to see what he could tell us about his eyes and his double vision. The doctor concurs that time is our best friend on that front. There is damage to the nerves in the right eye. Prisms attached to his glasses or ground into his lenses cannot physically fix the problem, but refracting the light would cause him to see monocular. Surgery way down the road could perhaps the real problem as well. We will continue with the translucent tape for now and wait three weeks before seeing him again. Sometimes Bob reminds me of my dear children at school who walk around with broken glasses held together by scotch tape!!!!!

Bob loved the jokes you are leaving on the blog. Thank you, thank you for picking up on that request.

We praise God for and give him the glory for how Bob is today versus one week ago. Thank you for continuing to be part of our miracle.

Our favorite Bible verse for today:

“. . . I AM THY GOD; I WILL STRENTHEN THEE; YEA, I WILL HELP THEE . . .”

Isaiah 41:10

  1. I am so glad for this blog Roxy! Bob has been in my thoughts every day. From one English teacher to another here is my joke:

    A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.

    'Why?' asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

    'Well, I'm a panda,' he says, at the door. 'Look it up.'

    The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. 'Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots, and leaves.'

    Misuse of punctuation CAN be deadly after all!

  2. Roxie, Sorry about the misspelling. I know 2 people named Roxie/Roxy and I got my wires crossed!
    You could also tell Bob this was all a very dramatic way to get out of the end of the year party at the bowling alley!
