Mason's eyes update

Mason and I got back from our quick trip to Hong Kong today. We saw Dr. Yu yesterday and he said he saw improvement in Mason’s eyes – so much that he does not recommend surgery. He said Mason’s eye crossing is intermittent and is not the infantile condition that requires surgery. Dr. Yu increased Mason's prescription when he saw Mason in July and he thinks that was very helpful for his vision. He said to continue with regular visits while we are back in Texas to the pediatric ophthalmologist we saw in January to monitor his progress. He needs to continue wearing his glasses and patching his stronger eye for one hour a day.

So we are really praising G0d for answering so many pryrs for Mason! Thank you very much to all of you who have expressed concern and pryed for Mason! We're so glad he won’t need the surgery and agree that he eyes do seem straight a lot of the time, especially when he’s wearing his glasses.

By the way, we have our tickets to return to Texas on Friday, October 23rd! We can't wait to see and catch up with many of you over the six months that we're back in the states!
