Day trip to Vancouver

Today I went with Phoebe to Vancouver for another eye appointment. We went by ambulance and Phoebe was allowed to travel in a car seat for the first time! I watched the exam (against the advice from staff) and it was terrible...it was worse than watching Jack Bauer on 24 interrogate a suspect! I won't go into to detail as it was just horrible..but the good news is that her damaged retinas (from the early exposure to oxygen) seem to be healing and they confirmed that she isn't blind and was very unlikely to become blind. She will need to go back for another appointment in two weeks time, and eventually will need annual check ups. They did say that there was a more likely chance she will need glasses but we are still praying for God's continuing and complete healing to her whole body. Paul is at the hospital this evening whilst I am enjoying a quiet night in alone...bliss!

Ready and waiting for our transport
Getting strapped in...Phoebe is there behind the paramedics hand!
Phoebe is known by the staff for her pose...hands out flat and in the air!
All set to go on the stretcher

Re. Phoebe's pose, she is, quite obviously, praising the Lord!
