Demi’s right eye is looking great! Her retina has settled right where it needs to be! She seems to really be using her right eye a lot and bringing items towards her right eye to see them better!! On Friday, she will go under anesthesia again to have her new prescription determined! We are expecting…
Post op: Visit 2
Demis eye is healing well! Her retina is settling back where it should be. Her doctor mentioned the possibility of vision she could gain. We knew that was always a possibility and expected it but it’s wonderful to hear he sees the potential at this point! We will start decreasing her eye drops and antibiotic…
Post op Visit 1
Demi’s eye had a little more inflammation than her surgeon wanted to see, but her lens is still clear! Praise Jesus! We would have typically gone back to see him again 4 weeks post op but he bumped us up a little. He still seems confident in her recovery I just think he is being…
Post op appointment: #1
Demi will have about 3 post op appointments until we can say her eye is healing without developing a cataract. Today, post op appt 1, she did amazing. She tolerated the patch and tape removal with hardly a sound. We put dilating drops in her eye and she was a champ! Her doctor said she…
Surgery Success: Recovery is a Process
Surgery was successful. Dr. Chang was able to do what he wanted without removing her lens. He is concerned about the risk of her developing a cataract as a potential complication of surgery. If she does, he will remove the lens in a few weeks. We are praying that doesn’t happen! She has a bubble…
Demi is in surgery
I was informed late yesterday evening that Demi was bumped back a little. After speaking with her doctor there was an emergency surgery that pushed us back. I told Dr. Chang, “your hands are just warmed up now!” They took her back right at 8:45. She had a little oral sedative that didn’t really do…
Surgery #2: Praying for the Right Eye
The time has come and we are headed for surgery #2 to repair Demi’s retina in the right eye. The stakes are higher this time because she uses her right eye for most of her vision. However, the risk is lower this time because the right eye is much less complex than the left eye….
Sawyer’s 6th Birthday
Today is Sawyer‘s sixth birthday. That’s six years since she’s gained her wings. Six years since I’ve seen her face. Six years since I kissed her cheeks. And six years of memories made without her presence here on earth. Lastly, six years spent with Pops. Every parent knows that feeling when you see your first…
Pregnancy Loss: Memories Gained
Every year a memory pops up on Facebook. It’s the picture we took at our friends house right before Christmas. Every year I find I feel the same way. I love seeing the joy and excitement in our faces. I love the naivety and innocence about pregnancy that we possessed at that time. Even though…
Headed Home
Demi did so well! When they took her to the OR she never woke up from her nap. They were able to sedate her from her nap so no crying or fear for her! The doctor was able to see what he wanted. He said that her eyes are definitely better than when we started,…
