Riley was diagnosed with Pars Planitis (an eye disease) in both eyes at the end of third grade. Up until this time, he was very active in sports, playing baseball and basketball. Originally, the doctors felt that his eyes were experiencing trauma from an injury, but we could not recall any injury. We spent months seeking a diagnosis and eventually we were sent to a specialist about four hours away from our home. He diagnosed Riley's eyes with Pars Planitis within a few minutes and began a treatment plan.

Pars Planitis is a disease that attacks the Pars Plana area of the eye located on the inside of the eye around the retina. It can, and generally does, lead to blindness. A danger with Pars Planitis is sudden loss of vision.He may go to sleep with sight and wake up without sight.

Riley has endured five surgeries on his right eye. As a result of the disease he also has a pupil disorder, glaucoma, cataracts, swelling, snowbanks and severe scarring in his eye. Without glasses, he is considered legally blind. He is no longer participating in sports.

We completely depend on God to provide for Riley's medical needs, We make frequent trips out of state for his specialized medical care. In the beginning, the Lord laid it on my heart to set aside an envelope for Riley's medical needs. We call it "Riley's God Pocket" and the Lord always fills it for us as He promised he would. We have seen the envelope empty and fill again time after time. It has increased our faith and and allowed us to grow closer to God.

Riley is now in eighth grade. He is an honors students and hopes to be graphic designer when he grows up. We make efforts to take him to "see" things he'd like to see when possible. Riley is a joy to be around and never, ever complains about his eye.
