Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sight

We are once again amazed by God's bountiful grace upon us and the wonderful very exciting news we received yesterday at the KU Eye Center from Dr. Wittaker, Neuro- Opthamologist.
First of all let me tell you that God led us to a very special doctor, once again. He has been trained as an engineer, a lawyer, and now works in this field. Obviously, he is brilliant. Yet, he took all the time in the world with us, patiently answered out questions, and repeatedly asked Bob if he truly realized how blessed by God he was?
In a nutshell, Dr. Whittaker, told us, that Bob eyes will heal on their own within 6 months from the day of the strokes. He said that all the work in the world on "trying" to resolve the problem ourselves with optical exercises and gimmicks was not going to help. Only time to heal will work. He did insist on prismatic lenses to be "stuck" on Bob's left eye glass lense as the structure, for a few weeks to take the stress off Bob's eyes working so hard.
Now, are you ready for even bigger news? In about 2 weeks, after Bob acclimates to the prisms, or rips them off, because he no longer needs them, (whichever comes first) BOB CAN DRIVE.
WATCH OUT FOR A 1995 CHAMPAGNE COLORED HONDA ACCORD driving the streets of Independence, especially in the Van Horn area!!!!!!! There will be no motorcycle riding for at least a year, Dr. Whittaker says, and he rides one himself. Dr. Wittaker told us to cancel the Driving School Lessons for which Bob was enrolled. He said with Bob's excellent field of vision and depth of field, he is "good to go". I can't explain our joy and excitement.
As we awaited our time with Dr. Whittaker in the waiting room my prayer, scribbled on a notepad had been," Lord, give us patience, courage, and joy with whatever we hear in a few minutes from the doctor."
We don't know how to continue to say thank you intensely enough. To think how many of you still remember us almost 8 weeks after the strokes overwhelms and humbles us. Your continued cards, emails, prayers, and jokes mean so much, truly.
To the mystery person out there who has sent scripture, and jokes, thank you. We would love to know who you are some day!!!!!
