Surgery and Transformers

Well after much changing of the surgery time Jeremiah, Joseph and I headed to the surgical center at 5:30 am. They took us back and got us all settled and were preping for the surgery when the doctor came in to talk to us. He had been talking to his collegues and thought the best thing to do for Joseph at this time was to inject steroids inbetween the outer layers of the eye, the sclera and the conjunctiva. The steroids will, over a period of time, diffuse through the eye and reduce the inflamation. There is also the possibility that this may clear up the media in his eye. What is more likely is that Joseph will still have to have the vitrectomy (removal of the fluid in hes eye) on his left eye. However, reducing the inflamation will make the operation and the recovery easier. So we proceded with what the doctor suggested. We were in and out in 3 hours. Dr Cory said Joseph did really well. His right eye (the one operated on last Wednesday) is looking great. He said it has cleared up and he should be seeing really well out of it. We will be going in to have his eyes looked at again on Monday and we will procede from there. Dr Cory is guessing we will be having surgery on his left eye in about 2-3 weeks.

Now since Joseph has gone through so much Jeremiah desided that Joseph need a special treat. So he took him to Target and got him a Bumblebee transformer. Well when he got home Michael and William were upset that they didn't get transformers and complained endlessly about it. So after I got off of work we headed to Walmart to get a few things and Jeremiah decided to get all the boys transformers. And it wouldn't do that Isabelle didn't get anything so she came away with a My Little Pony. I just shooked my head at Jeremiah. He responded with a "I'm a sucker." Gotta love the softies of this world.
