Rhonda,

I'm praying for Ben. What brad told you is true. This kind of thing is not
uncommon for diabetics.

Vernon had laser surgery in 2001 on his left eye, and he still has some
trouble with his depth perception but the laser surgery did help. I was
sitting right there with him when they did it. It's not painful at all, and
they didn't have to put him to sleep at all.

I'm praying for the job situation, too. They need to be more understand and
they need to be loving.

I'm praying for you also.

Love ya,
Pat Ferguson
