8AM Operation for Charissa

July 2, 7:00 PM

On our way to the hospital we received a call from Dr. Kaufmann, the retinal ophthamologist. Charissa's Retinopathy had developed from stage 1 to stage 3 in a span for 4 days. He told us that they would have to perform laser surgery tomorrow morning at 8 PM.

Quite shocked by the suddeness, we arrived at the hospital praying that the Lord would have mercy on her vision. With the surgery, Charissa will sacrifice her peripheral vision with the hopes of retaining her central vision. Dr. Kaufmann tells us that the success rate is high, but that there are risks in any surgery...

Please pray for Charissa's surgery...

In His Grace,
Choi Family

Elizabeth and I will pray tonight that the Lord will guide the hands of Charissa's surgeon, that He would gift the surgeon with supernatural insight and wisdom that directs each step of the procedure, that there would be absolutely no complications or unexpected obstacles, and that Charissa's eyes would heal even better than could possibly be expected.
