Latest Update on Danny's Eye

Dr. Ford told Danny yesterday afternoon (Friday) that he could lose his eye, which will have to be replaced with a prosthesis (glass eye). Danny has lost all vision in the left eye. I still believe that God can and does perform miracles and, if it is His will, He will in this case also. Danny has to go back to Dr. Ford Tuesday morning.

I have an appointment to go to a cardiologist in Gainesville on Wednesday. I hate to keep having to miss work, but Danny is my brother and I have to take care of my health, too, in order to be able to help other family members.

I did get a bit of good news today. My nephew, Ryan, went for an interview at FAMU with the baseball coach there. He said that he will find out Thursday if they offer him a scholarship to the college.

Please continue to remember my whole family in your prayers.

Why?

I haven't written much lately. I have been posting videos on here. I have a site entitled www.leefloridatv.com that I am trying to get up and running. Go there and visit if you have a chance.
Today, I carried my brother Danny to his ophthalmologist Dr. Jerry Ford in Tallahassee. Dr. Ford sent him to another eye doctor (Dr. Logan Brooks) who discovered that Danny has a severe form of glaucoma. Danny has a better chance of losing his left eye than they do of saving it. Dr. Brooks said that prayer would be the key to saving Danny's eye. Danny has to go back to Dr. Ford tomorrow for a follow-up.
Everything seems to keep happening to my family. I had emergency stomach surgery in March and then threw two blood clots which almost killed me because they got in my lungs. Daddy broke his hip last October. My sister, Abbie, has her own medical problems. But still I believe that God is good and that He will sustain us.
The health problems have been bad and the money situation has been very bleak. I have had to miss work with my health problems and also to help carry Danny to Tallahassee, as well as take Daddy back and forth to the VA Medical Clinic in Lake City. If I don't work, I don't get paid. Still, I know that God is good and He will help us.
I'm exhausted. Everyone in the family is exhausted. Still, I know that God will give us eagles' wings to help us.
God will be there. Please remember my family in your prayers.
