I have a prayer request.
My granddaughter, artistically talented, super smart, homeschooled, is having vision issues in one eye. Her vision in that one eye has gotten progressively worse over the last year and a half or so, and last week had a scan and there are dark areas in the scan around her optic nerve. The doc said that he has never seen this before in someone as young as she is (15) and without an autoimmune disease or diabetes. Not diabetic. Ruled out an infectious disease for the time being. She will see a nuerologic opthamologist next week for more scans. Please pray for her. Thank you.
I will check back later - have a lot of phone calls to make on another matter and an appointment this afternoon. Thanks in advance for praying.

Thanks, I will note that.
Prayers for a clear diagnosis for your granddaughter, and a viable treatment plan. Please keep us updated.
Prayers up
Prayers for your granddaughter.
He will always keep those who walk by faith if not by sight.
May God grant your granddaughter His grace, mercy and comfort. Amen.
Prayers for your G’daughter. May I ask her first name?
Either way, best to y'all. d:^)
For me, such a problem and a referral to a neurologist meant a pituitary tumor that grew large enough to compress and damage the optic nerve. It was removed via surgery and proved to be benign.
Today my granddaughter meets with an ophthalmologist whose specialty is neurology issues with eyes, and then back with the referring doc who is also in that Bham office. Please continue to pray. I do appreciate all of your prayers even though I may not get to respond. ((hugs)
Prayers!!
Prayers for your granddaughter and
all those suffering from
afflictions of the eye and vision.
Dear St. Lucy please
intercede on their behalf.

Thank you!
Thank you so much!
From my daughter (her mom) We went ahead and saw both doctors this morning. They did a LOT of tests and scans. The inflammation has gone down! Praise the Lord! Theyre ordering more bloodwork to test for other diseases and an MRI to test for Multiple Sclerosis. He said it was unlikely she had MS but theyre going to check anyway. Thanks for the prayers.
Also doing these labs...I know theyre checking for Lymes disease but not sure what the rest mean. I havent had time to look them up. . MRI at 3:30 THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE PRAYERS!!
The MRI was not done because my granddaughter has braces. Don’t know what the followup will be. But the good news is that the inflammation is going down.
Praises that the inflammation is going down!!
Prayers continuing for complete healing.
I've added you, your daughter and granddaughter to
this prayer thread for those awaiting test results
Prayers continue,
May I know your first names so
Mrs Infool7 and I can pray in your names at Mass today?
I understand if you want to remain anonymous
