New Update on Russell after Hosp visit today

[momofrussell]

(yes, I am tired and cutting and pasting from my FB status stuff LOL)

FINALLY home. Got some answers, still need more. No retinal detachment which actually isn't good news, means what he has going on isn't fixable But, they already figured, just wanted to make sure. He does have some vision in left eye according to test, just not like the right eye....that's obvious. LOL Doc said he w...ants to do ANOTHER EUA (exam) in a month just to see if anything has changed. Waiting sucks.......

And I really don't know how I feel.....except for tired. Doc is hoping something might "fix" itself...but in another breath he says he doesn't think it's likely. Best to wait and see before making rash decisions. Still agree we don't want him in pain, which drops are keeping at bay. Behaviors still shoddy at times though..... other times he is a champ.

So, we wait......and the dates they gave me for surgeries as options don't coincide with my life well But I need to pick one and bump something out of my calendar line up.

I think the waiting and stress is getting to me.......

A whole month of waiting? Bummer. OTOH, sometimes that tiny chance pays off. Praying that it does.

Hi A... been reading and hoping for good news to come out of all of this. You said "I think the waiting and stress is getting to me" - you think??? I think you are holding it together pretty darn well!!

How 'bout we have a "2010 sucks" party?! I have never been one to take anything for stress, but that changed about a month ago... I think we get so used to operating at a higher level that when more gets shoved on an already over-flowing plate, we wonder why the stress gets to us. I'm gonna just say it... nope, it's just not fair! Not for Russell, and not for you or your family. Just stinks.

I will be praying that things turn around for Russell, and that you have some peace while going through this new waiting game.

Hugs to you and your family!!!

Jodi

Just in case there's anyone here who's not friends with A. on FaceBook, Russell had his EUA yesterday. His eye is getting worse, not better. Also appears pain has been getting worse and meds not working. So, they are looking at surgery to remove left eye next week. Think both A. and Russell need a break. -- Bob
