Yesterday afternoon he had an eye exam. His central vision is great, but, as I suspected, he has had damage to the optic nerve, and doesn't have peripheral vision to the right, which the doctor said is permanent. This was caused by pressure from the tumor or cysts. He didn't see any cranial pressure through Nathan's eyes, which was good news.
So, the bad news is far outweighed by the good news that he can hear well and see well for the most part, and that right now there isn't fluid build-up in his brain.

Darlene...This is Christine Sarkis...I will be praying for your son...
Yay! Sweet little boy, I wish I could give him a hug. Can you see him compensating for the eyesight, is that how you knew? It's incredible how God designed the body to make up for deficits. SO glad his hearing was spared.
Wow! Christine Sarkis? It's been maybe 30 years! How did you find out about us? Thank you so much for praying.
I suspected the vision deficit because he would every now and then bump into something he should have seen over to his right. I guess this will be an issue for sports and driving (and girls making googly eyes at him when he's a teen.)
:-) I LOVE the way you think!
works for me...his father DID JUST FINE!

Darlene: Do you remember me calling you about 18 years ago? The Lord had impressed me to call you back then and then a couple of days ago I was thinking about your Sister Christi and how she used to read so much...and then about 2 days later, I was on Debbie Thompson's Facebook and saw your sister had posted something on Debbies site so I sent your Sister a Message and she informed me of what you are going through and gave me your website...and that my friend is how I found you...God is so good...We must catch up with each other.
That would be great! Send me an email sometime and give me your phone # so we can catch up.
Darlene: My email address is cbiblical@yahoo.com...What is your email address? When I get your email address I will send you my phone #...So nice to hear from you...By the way, do you have a Facebook account?
Praising God with you! So thankful that you have some good news to hold on to! Praying the cyst shrinks and you will not have to do ANY surgery. What a brave boy that sweet Nathan is! What a faithful family you are...walking with the Lord through this!
So great to see you the other day...you always have that amazing and calming smile. Sending hugs!
