Yes, Lara. So far his vision loss is only in one eye. The vision lost is a gradual dimness with ghost images that dance all over the place. Since the pain is in both eyes, it's possible that the vision loss will be in both eyes this time, as well.
For those who don't know, optic neuritis is almost always associated with multiple scleurosis. James has been tested for it twice and he doesn't have it. (If for no other reason than he would have more than the one disorder in seven years time.) They know that it is caused by inflammation around the optic nerves, but the cause of the inflammation wasn't definitively found last time.
Anyway, thanks for your prayers. God has been faithful and we really are at peace, even if we are so loopy that we're tired.
