Sleeping, Eating and Eyesight

My dad is having a hard time sleeping and eating. His blood pressure was low today because he does not feel like eating. He ate more for dinner after his own doctor told him this is very important to do. I also ask to pray for his eye sight. The doctors said that there is a slight, slight chance for his left eye to see again. We have heard the doctor's slim prospects these past two weeks. Look what God did before and can still do!!

My mom wanted me to re-post Mark's comment from the other day:

I'm praying that God is NOT DONE YET. Compared to what we were praying for two weeks ago and even one week ago, this is discouraging but not hopeless. Our God is SO AMAZING that our shallow human minds cannot grasp what He is capable of. To all who read this: THE GAME IS NOT OVER YET. Please pray. I know it is tough and at times exhausting. We want to go back to our normal, comfortable lives and not be bothered. But, God wants us to pray and really, I mean REALLY trust and believe in Him. God could have taken Dwight away, but He did not. Dwight is optimistic. Lets join in his optimism and thank God for all He has done thus far. And then, let's ask for Him to do even more. Don't worry, GOD CAN HANDLE IT!

Also, as Davida said:

Let's pray for another miracle...for Dwight's vision in his left eye to improve. You never know....it might happen with the power of all of our prayers.

  2. We will be praying specifically for Dwight's left eye. God performs miracles and this is just one more that we are asking for. God is tireless and hears our prayers.
    We will also pray for Dwight's appetite. Body strength is so critical right now...EAT DWIGHT EAT!! Love from Sarasota...

  3. I am SO glad Dwight is home. Hopefully he'll feel much better just sleeping in his own bed. Maybe being in his own surroundings and eating non-hospital food will give him a better appetite so his strength can improve. I continue to pray for all of you each day, but will put in a special set of prayers at our Passover seder this evening. It's wonderful that all of you will be able to spend Easter together at home. G-d made this happen by hearing our prayers. He's definitely listening!!
