Mila With The Moon In Her Eyes

Hello to all!

Just a quick note here to let everyone know that Mila had a check-up yesterday and It was the best prognosis so far! Both of her eyes looked "excellent" the doctor said. Her pressure was up just a tad in the right eye @18, but she suspects this is a fairly normal side effect due to the continued steroid drops and not a complication (glaucoma) at this point.

The shelf in her left eye is still closing, but the doctor said that its movement is not noticeable since her last check-up. Right now it is almost as if Mila had a crescent moon peeking out from the lower right edge of her pupil, I'm personally kind of partial to that imagery.

Overall we are very pleased. Finally the breather that we needed. Dr. Freedman said that she would be comfortable leaving her in our care and having a check up at a two week interval this time, unless we see something drastic in the right or left eye. It is really amazing that two weeks would seem like a break. Honestly we have been going on adrenaline and the best interests of Mila for so long now that we hardly noticed the harried pace of doctors visits or its effects on us.

For now, we are all resting and breathing just a little bit easier. We can not thank you all enough for the well wishing, the prayers and the love. We hope that you will continue to do all of those things and keep Mila in your thoughts. At this point we are not out of the woods but this sure does feel like a clearing to me.

We will continue to keep you posted. Thank you for reading, from all of us.
