Anyhow, my brother took her to a fairly routine appointment, and she's having emergency surgery right now (it may even be over!). We are asking for prayers that her complete vision would be restored to at least her pre-op state (or better). I know that God inhabits the prayers of His people, and I thank each of you who take a moment to pray for my mama (Dixie Lee)!
and some peace for her, my brother, & me!

She's home, and they did laser surgery on her eye. Get this - the medication that they use to define where to laser is SO potent, she can't go outside without being completely covered, including a hat & scarf on her face, or she risks Third Degree burns!! She will have to live in a dark world for 5 days, then her system should be okay to go out.
There's a 1% chance that she'll have a complete restoration of her vision, I forget the rest of the statistics, but we're STILL praying that she doesn't lose her sight!!!
