When Life Changes with a Boom

    It was a normal Monday here in our little corner of the world, but it only took one little phone call to make it anything but normal.
    LV has been hurt in an explosion, I was informed, and on the way to the hospital.
    I wanted more details, but the call was over. I imagined all sorts of horrible things, and willed myself to stay calm as I informed the children that their Dad was hurt.
    LV is currently in the hospital, undergoing yet another surgery. We had hopes he would be released this morning, but instead it's on to a different hospital and another surgery.
    His injuries are not life threatening, and should heal just fine with time and care. We are however concerned for his eyes, and are praying that his vision may be restored. We're thankful for a God who heals, knowledgeable doctors, and friends who pray.

    I work in ophthalmology so vision is near and dear to my heart. I'll be praying for LV's eyes for sure.
