While in Iowa City the tail end of last week for Emily's follow up from her eye surgery she spotted a deer in the parking lot outside of the Ronald McDonald House we stay at!
The follow up overall went well. The good news is that the retina is still attached from this latest surgery. That means no surgery this week. Her left eye is damaged though and this is why she is still not able to see out of it. We will be seeing her regular ophthalmologist in November to see if a prescription of glasses might help improve this or not. In addition we will return in a few months to Iowa City to check on both eyes as the same pigmentation scarring is in both eyes. For now we are all ( docs and us) chalking it up to her SIOD as we need to study further, but is the only sensible reason as of now. Until later, Emily is to enjoy being a Senior and the holiday season ahead.
Soon she has a myriad of doc appointments from head to toe, which is typical this time of year for her. She is also getting her Pfizer booster vaccine Friday and is happy to do so. We all have been flu vaccinated now as well. Holding out for Taylor-Jo (she is 10) to be able to get her vaccine very soon.
