Eye's Recap

Since we are near the end of the week, I thought I would recap on how the last two weeks have gone.

In the last 11 days Evelyn has seen some kind of doctor 8 times. We have visited our pediatrician 3 time (one-year check-up visit, cold check-up visit, and blood testing). We have also visited at ophthaimologist 4 times where she has had lights shined in her eyes, eyes dialated twice, and all kinds of 'fun' eye stuff. And finally, to Presbyterian Main Hospital for an MRI.

The poor thing is just tired of seeing doctors, but there is only more to come. Evelyn is currently taking a steroid and antibotic drops for her eye. She will continue to take these until the redness goes away (which its begining to fade). We have begun patching her eye for short periods of time. The doctor would like for us to try to do this for 2 hours a day.

Next week we go back to the opthaimologist to check on her progress. We also are going to see a neurologist. Hopefully we will also get good test results back from the blood they took today.

Once again...thanks to all of you for praying for us and thinking about. We will continue to update you on Evelyn's progress.
