Ron's eye check up was good!

Yesterday, Ron completed his check ups by having an eye evaluation at Emory Eye Clinic.   The eye that has been so painful and red for some months is not the result of the mole Ethan Wright discovered in his evaluation last summer.    The doctor said the size of the mole has not changed and appears to him to have been there for a long time.   He said to have it checked again next year. 

The son of a preacher we know had a brain tumor recently.   The first thing they checked was his eyes since they felt the malignancy had a primary source.   His eyes were not the cause of the melanoma but having a mole in the eye could result in such a situation.   We are relieved to get a good report and know this is not a risk with Ron's mole!

Ron has dry eyes and during the time we were in the Philippines, he did his work in an air conditioned room due to the excessive heat.  Apparently, his eyes got too dry and this was the basic problem.   I used the small sitting room to do my work in the Philippines and it did get hot in the afternoons, but my dry eyes were not subjected to the air conditioning all day.

We have not used air conditioning since we arrived in Woodstock, GA.     Ron got windows to open and we let the breeze flow through with the help of fans, part of the time.   The house has many trees and until noon each day, the house is nice and cool.   

We continue to get a few more things done and more settled into our life in a house again.    Without constant travel, we are getting more rest and trying to catch up with our computer work that got a little behind while we were busy moving in.

Ron has not yet sold the RVs but he is checking to see where it would be best to put them on the market.    I am concerned we will wait until this season is too far gone to sell this them year.   Like all vehicles, they depreciate more in value each year.

Our work is going as well as expected during this pandemic.  Our girls are all well.  Borders are still closed and some places still endure shutdowns of businesses and schools.   Our girls who are now in their own tailoring shops have not had much business to bring them income so we have had to help them with food and the purchase of fabric. 

Ron has sent newsletters out about the many families we have helped in Nepal and Laos with food.  We continue to provide food to some areas bordering India and Nepal and now some Christians in Thailand are requesting help.    Until people can return to work and make a steady income, this may continue to be a problem.

With the virus still causing as many as 50 deaths a day in Georgia, we are staying in as much as possible.   When having to do things, we wear masks and keep our distance, using hand sanitizers.  Ron had to take care of problems with tires on the car and we dealt with the restrictions at Emory yesterday in regard to his check up.

Whenever there are news or changes in our lives, I will post again.     We are doing fine and pray that all of our Christian family everywhere is safe and healthy. 

In Christian love, we remain as servants doing Christ's work on earth.   Pray for us as we pray for you.
