Six months passed - from the bottom of despair to the height of hopes - we are on a roller coaster ride. Every night I ask my God - surprise me!! Give back him his precious!
When doctors are clueless and medicines are useless, you have your faith and your mind in action. At least that's what I am seeing in my father. Everyday he is trying hard to keep his body fit, blood sugar in control and blood pressure with in range. He is on strict diet, excercising daily and trying to be happy as far as he can.
He tells me about his continuous processing unit, inside his brain. There is an unimaginable level of activities going on, from remembering past to connecting dots between events. He is being more logical and kind of understands things clearly. Every night he dreams of going back to his mother shouting - "Mother I can see!!". I hope my grandmother listens this from heaven and with her motherly healing touch opens up his eyes. My father likes to dream these days, as he can see in that world. He forms witty jokes and puzzles and keep my daughter guessing them. Those are indeed well crafted and very much thoughtful. He did not forget to amuse people around him with his fine flute. Yes, he used to play flute at young age, but could not pursue further because of family burden. Now he plays with full dedication and we get to listen some finest tunes! Especially just after a refreshing rain or in a moonlit night he takes us to another world - his visible world of music.
In between we took him for an eye checkup, the doctor confirmed that we did whatever we could do. The course of treatment seems right, but it is so unfortunate that no device could help him at this stage. It seems my father has more light sensivity in left eye, he has cataract in left eye too. The doctor is too afraid to operate the cataract as it could take away the light sensitivity left. For the right eye she declared no light sensitivity at all. We returned back with no hope.
The next day, on my usual visit, I asked him to close his left eye, I wanted to check his right eye - which had atrophy recently. In doctor's chamber, he could not detect any light with his right eye, but to my surprise that day he could recognise the light with his right eye!!!...To us this is a break through and we beleif he will get back some usable eye sight very soon!!
