Update on Evelyn

In the last week Evelyn has seen her opthamologist and neurologist.

The opthamologist said she looked great. We are to continue to patch the good eye for an hour a day. The opthamologist seems to think the Cranial Nurve Six Palsy was caused by the virus she had at the time. She did warn me that there is a chance that it could happen again. So now we just have to wait and see. Evelyn will go back for a check-up in 6 weeks.

The neurologist said she looked great too. We didn't actually get to see our usual doctor because she is on maternity leave. Going to this visit I had a lot of questions because I felt like we hadn't received all the test results back. When Evelyn had her lumbar puncture done, they also drew alot of blood to run multiple tests. Well, there seemed to be some misscommunication, because all the test had come back and everything was normal. Most of these test results just never got communicated to us but they were in her file today. The neurologist warned us just like the opthamologist did.....this could happen again. Ahhhhh......I hated to hear that.

But all is well now at the Perkins home. Evelyn is doing great and acting like a normal toddler.

I just wanted to take a quick minute to thank all the people whom helped us during this difficult time. We received so much support from Friends, Family, and our Church. The emount of prayer that was spoken over the last few months for our little girl was absolutly amazing. I truely believe those prayers were answered and helped our little girl heal. So I just ask for one more prayer....that Evelyn be truely healed, for the Cranial Nurve Six Palsy to never come back and for mommy to have peace about the situation and not worry everytime Evelyn gets sick.

Thanks You Everyone,

The Perkins Family (Daniel, Steph, Evelyn, and Rusty)
