The eye's have it!!!

On Allen's birthday, he recieved a very special gift. He has been having some real trouble with his eyes. It was diagnosed as a condition called Fuch's disease. It is a degenerative condition and it progressed really quickly with Allen. The eye doctor, Dr. Parson's, tried some other preventative measures but they didn't work and so on September 8th he recieved a new cornea. This was from a 30 year old donor. I have come to appreciate the little DONOR sign on a driver's license so much more. In all our gratitude, we also realize someone else is suffering a loss in their lives. Allen's eye has healed very well and his eyesight is drastically improved. (He's not frightening to drive with at night anymore :).
