Eye Updates
Well, T1 has been to 7 doctor's appointments in 6 days, had cultures and ultrasounds taken of his eye, and has slept 2 hours at a time, tops. Finally, we're getting some better news.
The evil, nasty pseudomonas bacteria is the culprit, and the hero of the day seems to be tobramycin. There was a relatively large (3-4 mm wide) sore on his cornea, but that is healing now. He will have a scar there, but we won't know how much it will permanently impact his vision until all of the inflamation is cleared up. He's doing well enough that he doesn't have to go back to the doctor until Thursday.
Thank you for all of the prayers. I do believe they've helped a lot.
