It's been 6 weeks, UPDATE

[momofrussell]

I was told I didn't tell anyone last time, so I am telling the whole world this time LOL.. Russell's "in 6 weeks he needs another" surgery is tomorrow. If the pressures are up, they will do the laser surgery yet again.... if pressures aren't up, no laser. Here's hoping we don't have that 3 day aftermath of complications this time..... or I'll need something stronger then a glass of wine! LOL We go in at 8:15. I will update from the hospital.

We got home this afternoon... Russell is doing well. He DID have to have laser surgery again because his pressures were still up, they were 27 in the left eye. They did not have to do the incision for the laser surgery (whew!) so that's good..... but.... alas... we go BACK to the hospital in 3-4 months for yet another eye surgery..... such is life..... he is listening/watching Little Mermaid at the moment LOL

Ooops just saw your update A. Glad to hear Mr. Russell is doing good

[Googsmom aka Jennifer]

Glad everything went well. He is such a trooper. {{{{HUGS}}}}

[Chris too]

Thanks for the update, A. So right after Christmas/New Year, you'll be back there? Bummer. Still, aren't you glad that they can do these surgeries and save the eye?

So did you need that Boilermaker, or was the wine enough?

[momofrussell]

Yes, I decided due to insurance rolling over with new co pay stuff in Jan to do his next Surgery the end of December....week before Christmas No wine was needed since they did the laser through the outside and without incision this time......

Oh A, so glad you & Russell made it through. Will keep you all in my prayers. I have been MIA for so long, I had no idea about the time you've had. I will have to go back and search. I have always wondered how do you do laser eye surgery on someone who would "rather not, thank you". I think about Patrick's perscription and wondered if he would ever be able to have laser surgery as an adult and just couldn't picture it. Of course, I've never yet been able to picture it for MYSELF! lol You hang in there! ~T
