One of our sponsored children, Rehemah, went to Danville, CA, a couple of weeks ago in order to have eye surgery. I just wanted to send out an update so that you all could be praying for her. This is the update from Linda, who she is staying with:
An update on Rehemah. Her corneal transplant surgery on her left eye went well today, she was in surgery for two hours and in recovery for two hours past that. We arrived back home in Diablo at 4pm and she is resting. She is a trooper and did great. We will return to Santa Rosa tomorrow for a recheck. The doctor visited Mary Ann and I for a short visit between his surgeries. He reported the DALK procedure punctured the "bubble" protecting the corneal tissue requiring him to use a different transplant technique. The alternate procedure is still not as invasive as the PK procedure and did not require him to disturb the inner most corneal tissue. That is good news. He was very hopeful for a positive outcome, we will learn more tomorrow. Please continue to keep Rehemah in your prayers that the donor tissue is accepted by her body, no infection develops and the healing process continues as God has set forth in his plan to restore her vision.
