Quick Update

I went to the ward today so that I could see the patches being removed from the children's eyes that I talked about in the last post. If I understand right, their sight will never be 100%, but will be better that before surgery. It took awhile for them to be coaxed to open their eyes and look around. The oldest child was a 7 year old boy. He will probably not have as good a result as the 2 younger children as the brain just loses the ability to connect fully after a certain age. But, saying that, he finally looked around and in the language of Abomey, kept saying something over and over. We found out from a translator that he was saying "I'm never going to close my eyes again, I"m never going to close my eyes again."
