Corneal Transplant a Success

December 17, 2011

Thank you all for your prayers last night. The surgery went very well and they believe it is a more permanent solution to a problem that would not be solved thru temporary measures (ie-glue). We feel quite confident about this. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement. Truly thank you. We were blessed with friends […]

today

December 7, 2011

So we did have surgery today. Basically, a third or so of his eye was exposed from the eyelid being pulled up by the skin grafts. This caused the previous ulcer to reopen. Not good. I think every eye doctor on duty today saw Adam. It was quite a hustled and stress filled morning. Surgery […]
