Long wait and no clear answers

We had our appointment with the neuro-opthamologist this morning. Here is how it went. I arrived for his appointment at 11:30. The lady called me back and said, "Oh, is he sleeping. We need to do a vision field test on him." I said, "No, his eyes have not opened since his accident, that is why we are here." She proceeds to tell me they have us scheduled for a two hour vision field test, and the appointment with the doctor is at 1:45. Now, I told them very clearly when I made the appointment that his eyes were not open so he would not be able to do the vision test. I had to wait around around downtown Phoenix for 2 hours! Not the way I planned the morning! So, we got into to see the doctor. Basically, we have no new information to report. He wants us to wait another 2 months before deciding to do surgery. He says kids are amazingly resilient (we've already seen that:) I really like the first doctor we saw a lot better. He had much better bedside manner, and is also a pediatric specialist. So, we will see him again in a few weeks, and I guess decide what to do after that. I was a little upset after the appointment, mainly because of the wasted time. So, I get into the car and hear, "Tunnel," right away. Just a reminder to me that I am not in control, He is, I just need to be patient. I really feel in my heart that his eyes will open without surgery. So please continue to pray for his eyes to open and for his left side to come around more.

On a more positive note, he starts Physical and Occupation therapy tomorrow (an hour of each.) Please pray that he will respond well to this. I am still filing appeals with the insurance company to pay for it, at the place we are going....hopefully they will say yes. Thanks so much for your continued prayers....Believe...as Luke's song says...there is a light at the end of this tunnel....sometimes I just wish the road to that tunnel wasn't so long and bumpy!
