Johane's Journey Phase II

Johane says:
Today I went with mama Cintia to see the Doktor specialist. I saw two doktors. One was a woman and the other a nice brown man who spoke with an accent. Mama Cintia said he was from In dia. He was very kind and smiled nice. He spoke some french to me and was very gentle. He took an ultrasound of my left eye. He said it was bon (good).
Then He had a serious conversation with mama Cintia. He said that I must protect my eye carefully so it does not get hurt. He said he would talk with other specialist doktors to see if they will fix my eye or not. It was a very long day and I got very very tired.

Cynthia says:
We went to Anderson eye to see the specialist today. Johane did very well. We saw the pediatrict specialist first. She was very dry and not too encouraging. She ordered the ultrasound that Dr.Houser recommended. It was done by Dr. Ramasami. He was a very kind, softly spoken gentleman who exhibited a kind interest in my little haitian princess.
He also said that he would review her case with the other specialists and together they would decide if she was a surgical candidate or not.
There is no tumor behind the cataract and no torn retina or other damage seen.
The doctor said that he would call later this week and tell us what the next step,
if any should be.
SO...keep this little lady in your prayers. Its not over until its over.

Johane made bonbons (cookies) with Joyce and me tonight. I'm not sure who was prouder of her, Joyce, me or Johane. She was very diligent about the whole process. Very hard worker. I am impressed.

How many adults does it take to prevent a haitian child from pulling the fire alarm at your place of work? ONLY ONE if you react loudly, quickly and ernestly enough.
What is with this kid and alarms?

God bless you all. Keep praying! Cynthia
